A suggestion.

The number of banks that have
been robbed in Kentucky in the last
four months, is sufficient warning to
all bank officials In the smaller towns.
The bank at Woedburn, Warren coun-
ty, was robbed last Monday night
week Of nearly four thousand dollars
in Liberty bonds, thrift stamps and
cash. 1t is believed that four men did
the job, and it is also believed that they
are the same men who have robbed
four or five other banks in Kentucky
in the last four months. A night
Waterman in the smaller towns would
not be bad idea. Robberies are gen.
orally committed after the turn Of
the night, and it would not be neces-
sary for Waterman to go on duty
until after midnight. The services
of good man would cost a little
money, but by employing him a great
deal of money and securities might
be saved.

His dear
Mrs. r. J. Pike.

1t is claimed that the most direct
route for the proposed pike from
Cheatham's bridge to the residence
OF Ben Thomas is up Buffers Branch
about one quarter of mile, then turn
due east to Oliver Pelley's, then north
to the end of A. B. Corbin's farm,
known as the Williams farm, then
on via S. G Hoods farm and that of
SaIlie Butler Then make a north.
east turn to Ben Thomas place.
This is the shortest and cheapest
route. From the starting point to
the Thomas farm is only three miles.
All the parties living on this route
have given the right of way but two,
and it is likely that they will come
across. As soon as the right of way
has been fully secured, all parties and
the public generally who will be ben
Gifted by this piece of road should
give Literally for its construction.
There may be others who think diff
ferently, and if so, there will be a
fight for the route.
