.BEREA WANTS
FEDERAL HIGHWAY
Will Make Effort To Get 1t If
Lancaster Pike Farmers
"FaH Down"

Berea has gotten into the fight for
the Federal Highway that is proposed
to run from Lancaster to Richmond to
connect the western and eastern
branches of the Dixie Highway.
In the event that the farmers living
along the Lancaster pike from Paint
Lick to Richmond, do not raise the re-
quircd amount to insure the road,
proffers have already been made by
prominent business men of Berea to
put up the required amount and have
the roadway routed from Paint Lick
to Berea, where connection can be
made easily with the Dixie Highway
as can be had at Richmond.
Reports are that the work Of rails
ing the $4,000 subscription among
the Lancaster pike citizens is not pro-
crossing as favorably as it should.
This Federal Highway is going to
mean a great thing, a big thing to the
people of Madison county. 1t will put
them in touch with the other counties
to the southwest, in a way that they
have never enjoyed before. The build
ing of this thoroughfare will mean the
firts step in real permanent highway
construction and nothing should be
left undone to insure that it will be
built.
Judge w. X. Price has called an
other meeting for next Saturday after
noon at two o'clock to talk about this
highway work some more. He is
fearful, that the Berea route will be
quickly accepted unless the money
is quickly guaranteed for the Lancas-
ter pike. Reports are to be made OF
money so far subscribed, at the meet
ing Saturday. 1t is hoped that every
one who has subscription list will
have it ready and as full as possible
by time Of the meeting Saturday, and
that every man who is interested ir
securing this good road, will be pres
ent al this second meeting.

MRS. BALES TO WE'D
SWEETHEART OF SOS
According To Lexington Leader
Telling Romansic Story of
Former Madison Woman

Many friends of Mrs. Joe Bales. at
her old home in this county, will be
deeply interested in the following
article from the Lexington Leader. of
Wednesday:
"Romance of Cos Revived
Flfty-eight years ago E. F. HALEY
went from Garrard county to Madison
county and kissed his cousin, Matte
Maupin, then a 7-year-old girl, good
bye and marched away to serve in the
Confederate army When the war
ended the little girl often wondered
what had become of cousin Ed" but
he did not return.
The girl grew into womanhood and
married Joseph Bales, former sheriff
of Madison county. After his death
she came to Fayette county and lived
ON farm on the Paris pike. A short
time ago she sold the farm and moved
to Lexington, now residing at .642
Head,ey avenue.
About four weeks ago there was
knock at her door and she was greeted
by an old man. He explained that he
was E. F. Haley, who had helped
her mother take care of her when
she was an infant. He is now IA
years old and she is SIS.
Mr.. Haley had come from the Con-
federate Home at Pewee Valley to
see his cousin, whom he had not laid
eyes on since the day he had pressed
the child's lips to his during the Civil
war. There was a mutual attraction.
The veterans would sit and read to
Mrs. Bales and she showed him every
courtesy. 81 thought Cousin Ed was
dead and moaning his grave she
"and when found he was alive
wanted to treat him as well as
knew how"
Gradually the friendship grew into
love and he proposed. Mrs. Bales at
first said she would be sister to him,
but he insisted that they marry. He
asked permission to get a marriage
license and she said it would be all
right later on.
Tuesday night Mr.. Haley returned
home and showed her carefully fold
ed paper with both names inscribed
on it. ;, 1t was license to we'd
when l. saw it | laughed awhile and
then l cEied,"' Mrs. Bales said today
But it:.4was all right. Perseverance,
had won. gs5
The course of true love, however,
does not. run smooth, and to-day the
bride groom to-be became a little
qnfHed' at the bride-elect, she says,
but everything will come out all right.
The matter of selecting a preacher
and setting the date for the ceremony
has been left to Mr. Haley.
81 expect to take care of him and be
nice to him." Mrs. Bales said 81
think God had something to do with
it."
Mrs. Bales says she is third cousin
of President Wilson. "I have often
heard my mother speak about the Will
son family in Virginia." she said
"and to say some day one of them
would be President"
