Boone Way Is Fine
Between Lincoln and Mt. Vernon,
Says Rockcastle Editor

Editor Edgar Albright, of the Mt.
Vernon Signal ''ran over" to STAN
ford from Mt. Vernon in his ''lizzie"
one day last week, in an hour and Is
minutes, which is certainly "going
some" as will readily be realized by
any one who has traversed the Boone
WAY from Crab Orchard to Mt. Yer
non. However, the road from the
capital of the East End to BrOdhead
was in fine shape at recent reports,
after the amount of work that was
done upon it by Gus Geiszl and his
crew last summer. When Editor AL
bright got home he wrote the follow
ing about the roads in his good pa
per:
The road from Mt. Vernon to
Brodhead, since the grader and drag
have been run over the grade, Is
simply fine 1t is equal to any of the
blue grass pixies. 1t is certainly JOY
to be able to travel on such a road
and we believe that if those who have
not felt very kindly toward the road
proposition, would only make one
trip over this splendid piece of road
that they would henceforth be proud
of the fact that old Rockcastle, is in
position to build such a road and
open the avenues of travel connect
ing us with the outside world. The
grade is about completed to Gum
Sulphur which leaves less than a
mile to connect US with Lincoln.
There is nothing like good roads and
nothing that could come to a coun-
try which means half so much.
