When any great undertaking
is launcht it usually falls to the
lot of few few pushers to do
the grind stone" work At frst
enthusiasm runs at high pitch.
Everyone rushes to the front and
fires off a big caliber cannon.
Later on the majority reduce
their fire arms to a % size, then
to a fire cracker followed by a
resoundins silence; then step in
the grind stone turner's. In
this connection can be mentioned
some who have taken hold, and are
today doing their turn in the
important highway movement.

Reckcastle and Laurel coun
ties are the biggest advertiS ed
localities on the Dixie Highway,
on account of the unfinished gap
of the road in their territory;
not. however, to their discredit,
for they have gone to the limit
of their finances in this big IN
dertakins, and to them is dus
Us much or more credit than to
localities much better fixed hnan-
cially. Rockcastle will pass along
in history as being the birth
placs and originator OF the great.
est road project ever undertaken
to pierce the Cum berlands and
place a highway thru it over
Roone's Trail.
Patience and sit still in the
boat. Uncle Sam has finger in
the pie now, looking to the fin
ishing up the gap in Dixie-Boone
and that old gentleman insists on
having things done his way and
wont be hurried in matters. Its
going to take time, in making
Survej s, estimates, etc, to his
liking, before pick or shovel
will be allowed to break dirt on
this work, but it will done in
lue time.
Would oe glad for all the
Rockcastle bows and girls, who
are located in Gth.r counties or
states to drop us line, care
OK 399 Winchester, KY, giving
their occupations etc.
