J will be very busy days for they have
I, been designated by the County Com
missioners as "Rock Hauling Days"
and oil farmers have been urged to
spend some time during those days to-
ward hauling rock to the roads and
pixies where they may be broken and
crushed AMI spread on the pixies be-
fore the winter season comes.
From reports reaching Maysville
from all parts of the county it APP
pears that there is much interest be-
ing taken in the move by the farm
ers.
Out in Murphysville precinct Maher
Bros, Charles Crawford and Squire
Boone are the best rock hauling
boosters. Nothing has been done but
they report that a large force of
farmers will be on the job, the first
three days Of next week.
John Claybrook and Dan Hunter ex-
pect to devote their time to the work
of hauling rock and enlisting the sup
port of their neighbors on the Mur-
physville pike so they can have good
road to Washington. Mr.. James IT.
vim the contractor in the Washington
precinct has been hauling much rock.
Phillip Gailenstein and John Larkin
are enthusiastic boosters for the
movement and are going to furnish
and maui quite a quantity of rock.

road are going to haul gravel this
eek This road leads over into Lew
is, our sister county and we hope
that she will get hump on herself
and join us in this move for better
roads. John Sartain and Lee Weav-
er of the Plumville precinct have al
so promised to lend their help to the,
rock hauling campaign next week.
The Commissioners have recently
| opened a quarry in the Fernleaf pre-
cinct froh. which the neighbors will
be able to haul all rock needed on
roads in that vicinity. The quarry is
in charge Of Mr.. Moore who is very
competent man. He says the farm
ers can haRl all the rock they wish
out of this quarry next Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday. County Road
Superintendent Simons has given
much attention to the roads in Die
terich precinct, owing to labor and
material being available in large
quantities in this precinct. The roads
in this precinct bid fair to be second
to none in the county due mainly to
the liberality of the tax payers in
furnishing rock.
County Agent Boyd and Clarence
Mains are going to take their coats
off and so out and help on rock haul
ing days in the Minerva precinct. The
roads in this precinct rank among the
worst in the county apd will natural
ly call for an enormous amount of CO.
operation from the resident farmers
due to the fact that the demands are
greater than the funds available for
the work to be done. The residents
of this vicinity are urged to enlist all
their neighbors and wor kas hard as
possible to that the roads shall be in
proper shape before the severe fall
weather sets in.

to help the movement on the Kenton
Pike and will encourage the use Of all
available men and teams in the rock

work or the Hill City pike having Sc
cured the assurance of cooperation
from most of the neighbors in this
vicinity. Jake Rubenacker another

boosters started the good work by
hauling rock last week and says that
he expects to continue. at it every OPP
portunity he has. In the Sardis pre-
| CllCl Atlldn oull anu "Oou ouih'ah

paign. They have the assurance of
25 or 80 farmers to haul rock on Sar-
dis pike and its tributaries. The Com
missioners have planned to do more
work OIL tho Sardis pike than any 9TH
err pike in this county this fall, and II
behooyeG the Sardis folks to demon

rock next Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday,
