Anniston, May 21.-(Special) )-Au thority for the completion of the chert surface for the Eulaton road five miles west of the city limits has been granted this week by the state highway en- gineer, and with the completion of the fivemile stretch west the work will probably be extended entirely through the county to the Talladega county line on the west
 The contract for the cherting of the road was granted to the Nixon Trans fer company of this city several months ago and since the granting of the au- thority to complete the work under the direction of the state highway engineer with the state and federal aid, the con- tractors will push the contract with all of their forces
 There has already been a greater amount of permanent road work done l in Calhoun county during the present i year than ever before in the history | of the county. The county road gangs
 are now engaged in making repairs on
 the Buckalew bridge road south of De-
 Armanville, and when that section is finished up part of the crew will be | moved into Beat 21.
 The plan of the county commission
 CTS to asphalt the Piedmont road from | the Camp Mcclellan highway of brick 1 to the northern limits of the county | will mean that thoroughly paved highway from end to end of the coun- l ty will soon be completed. Since the state and federal govern ments have advanced dollar for dollar l for road improvement in Alabama the Calhoun county commissioners have appropriated substantial amounts for | permanent road work and before the end of the year the thoroughfares throughout Calhoun county will be the best in the entire state
 The Buckalew bridge road from point at the Hudson place on the Choc- coloocco highway is being changed to an air line with only l per cent grade and will allow greater travel over the Chulafinnee road into Oxford and Anniston.
 The county commissioners are plan hing to get behind the movement to build permanent trunk highway across the Horseblock mountain, and
 much of the machinery of the county will be used in the building of that
 new stretch of road to penetrate into the heart of the Shinbone and Fish
 head valleys The preliminary survey
 will probably be made over the frs.
 part of the new road during the next week.

THEY HUSTLED

Two months ago. Marion county did
rot know it would have a fair. Two
weeks ago, it doubted that the fair
would be a success.
We have had the fair and it has
teen a good one. Financially it has
PANIED out better than any of the
series. Everybody who went had a
good time, and were glad the fair had
been held.
There were many who helped make
the fair a success, but the primary
credit lay with the following:
c. w. Hunter, acting president.
Nathan Mayo. secretary and treas
Grer.
John Talton, manager.
Frank Ditto. superintendent of
grounds.
JOS. w. Davis. general superintend-
ent.
E. C. Bennett. manager poultry de-
partment.
John T. Moore, superintendent of
shows.
C. G. Fraser, manager of live stock
department.
j. c. johnson, superintendent of the
agricultural department.
Mrs. ]. Fl. Brinson and her assist
ants in the domestic and culinary de-
partments.
Chas. e. Davis and J. r. Dewey,
gate keeper and ticket seller.
1t was a clean fair. there were no
graft games or confidence men on the
grounds, not a man seen drunk, not
an accident-in short, it was just the
sort of a fair we can have next year;
only we should begin work now and
have bigger one.
