derstand the pike has come to a
sudden stop again. We just lack
little being on the map of the
Dixie highway. and we hope in
the near future that the road Will
be completed through the good
little town of Livington and up
the beautiful picturesque Rock
castle river, where hundreds will
come to see the scenery, which
will rival the much noted Blue
Grass country for its grandeur,
and where the tourist will want te
come to heath the e-giving
mountain air and spend days fish
ing on the verdant banks of the
BEAUTIFUL Kockcastle river.-The
election passed off quiet here. Not
a quarrel. which is so common at
elections. Well, boys, let's go to
work now and forget the past, as
it will only be few days until the

est people on earth. - Mrs. J. II.

future, but are looking for a few
lines from his pen soOn.-- We are
getting badly behind with ou'
hauling in the way of writing, but
while we are willing to make
atonement, yet we believe we have
good excuses, for the campaign
has been very hot here, and con
siderable time was taken up shak
ing hands, and then the candidate
had to scrape up an acquaintance
or some relation. and then he haC
to find out how the crops were
then he would sail into politics
and would not stop until he hat
covered the territory or give yot
ample time to tell him that yor
was a democrat, and. of course
the war causes one to spend time
reading and meditatiug on TIT
future, especially when they hav'
children that has been called t.
help Uncle Sam gain the victory
