 It is the intention of the State High way Department to connect with the road at Eureka Springs and build road to the Arkansas River, and there are two proposed ways, one of them is through Eureka Springs to Huntsville and down to the Arkansas River. and the other one is through Eureka Springs, Berryvilie, Green Forest, Harrison, Newton County, and to some point on the Arkansas River.
 There is also proposed idea of ex- tending the road through Fayetteville, Winslow, Ft. Smith and Texarkana along the west part of the state from the Arkansas River south of here.
 The road is practically complet eG through Little Rock, Pine Bluff anc into Louisiana. It is the intention to make this through highway from Winnepeg, Canada, to New Orleans, a cutoff of the Jefferson Highway, and the State Highway Department has de- cided to appropriate $50,000 to builo over this road to the Arkansas River besides each county through which il passes will get large portion of the State and Federal Government allot ment. amounting to somewhere near $15. 1000 to a county.
 1t is therefore up to the citizens o1 Carroll County who want an up-to-date highway to get alive and take an inter- est and procuse this highway through the county by the way of Harrison, and unless we do get alive and show that we mean to get some money our selves and from district and builC this road there is no chance for us to ge it. as Madison County is anxious for tht road and will be on hand with grea number of delegates and flatterine propositions.
 The Governor of the State will be present and important citizens from al of the territory affected over the stat, from the Louisiana line to the Missour | line through the territory which thu road is to traverse.
 earnestly request that these dele gates named above each and everyon attend, and if there are other citizen of Carroll county who would like to at tend do so, and will be present ant name them as delegate.
 want every citizen of the count, that is interested and can possibly ge away to attend this convention am fight for Carroll County and good roads to the end that we may be able t secure our part of this government aid otherwise it will be apportioned t other coun ties.
 Witness my hand this 17th day o July, 1917. Roy Thompson,
 County Judge.
