Work on Stanford Road.

Mr.. G. H. HockerSmith. Of Frank
fort, State Road Inspector, has pushed
the work rapidly on the Stanford road
since taking charge. He evidently
understands his business, and is hay-
ing the work done much cheaper than
did the former inspector. He has not
been here but a short time, and be-
ginning at Bob Rice's dwelling, he now
has the road completed One-half mile
beyond Garlin, making first-class
piece of pike. He has money sufficient
to go another half mile, which will be
completed in about thirty days. The
people along the line pronounce him
energetic and thoroughly qualified
to superintend the building of roads.
Thirty days from last Monday he
will be ready to commence on the
jamestown road.
