SCHOOL RALLY DAY

On Tuesday, June 5th, the Parents
Teachers Club has set apart a rally
day They are asking the coopera-
ton of all citizens in Yerington in the
task of laying cement sidewalks from
the gate 10 the steps and around the
other side of the building, putting in
a lawn in front OF the building, and
low railing fence to protect the newly
planted lawn.
If you have ever seen the school
yard after a storm. with its puddes
OF water, or in winter its ice, you
would appreciate the saving in shoe
leather and doctor bills this improve
ment will make,
We are constantly asked, "Why
doesn't the school board pay for these
improvements" The Parents Teach
ers Club discovered when they inves-
tigated this matter that the present
school levy was insufficient to pay the
salaries OF teachers and janitor. and
The general upkeep Of the building,
since the State free text book Law
las added 'Xtra expense. The Pa
'ents- Teachers Club then offered to
9ay half the expense of this work.
md started to raise the funds. 1t
was soon found that men could not
Je secured to do this work, SO as it
was a community affair and would
add TO the general appearance OF the
town, it was decided TO ask everyone
to help.
On June 5, Registration Day, which
is legal holiday, you are asked to
come to the school yard and shovel
rock, mix and haul cement, or do any
thing necessary to carrying out the
work.
The ladies OF the club will serve
the workers with lunch at noon.
Can we count on you?

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY ROUTE

A Richmond dispatch says: Presi-
dent w. G.. Frost, of Berea College,
and G. c. Thomas, Of the Richmond
Chamber of Commerce, returned to-
day from Mt. Vernon, where they at
tended a meeting Of the Rockcastle
county Fiscal Court. at which an or
der was adopted definitely and final
ly locating the route of the Dixie
Highway through the lower edge Of
Rockcastle county. This action
smoothed out all Of the wrinkles in
a sector Of the highway which has
been giving its promoters trouble ev-
er since the eastern route was locat-
ed. The Dixie Highway had boon Of
ficially designated from Mt Vernon
to the city limits Of Livingston, but
from Livingston to the Laurel coun-
ty line two divergent routes were Of
fered by the citizens. one going
across the Rockcastle River at Liv-
ingston and on over Wildcat Noun
tain, while the other turned off from
Livingston at the edge Of the town,
and going over Gauley Mountain 10
the mouth Of Parker's Creek Consid-
cradle dissension arose over the rOut-
ing. The compromise route was To-
Gated and surveyed by an engineer
from Berea College sent to Rock
castle by President Frost with a view
Of helping the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce and the Dixie Highway
Association in finding a solution Of
the trouble.

DOUBLE TRACKING IN LINCOLN

The Queen and Crescent Railroad
is double tracking a good portion of
it's road in Lincoln and it is giving
employment to many Lincoln county
people. At Mckinney preparation is
being made to cut down the big hill
from the depot to the crossing near
the old canning factory. The tunnel
on the Hustonville pike will be doub-
led in size and concrete and machin-
cry are already on the grounds for
the work. What will be done about
Kings Mountain tunnel has not yet
been given out. A report is current
that no effort will be made to double
track it, as it would be necessary TO
go to such an enormous expense in
making the big hole in ground twice
its present size. Another report is
that a track will be built around the
tunnel. 1t remains to be seen what
will be done.
