team of that city. Although Blissett
was released by the Meridian club
his friends have not changed their
mind and still have confidence in his
ability to win.
AS stated in these columns last
week special session Of commission
ers court was held Friday for the pur-
pose Of examining the petitions that
had been circulated IN the county with
a view of calling special election to
vote on bond issue for the construct
ion of a trunk line road from the
Tuscaloosa county line by Gordo,
Carrollton, Reform and Aliceville,
crossing the Tombigbee river at
Cochrane and continue on to the Sum-
ter county line.
At first it seemed that only $4,000
was available from the state and it
was the intention of the promoters
to build as far south as Aliceyille, but
after telephone conversation with
Mr.. Kellar, state engineer, it was
learned that 100000 could be secured
from the state and it was finally de-
cided to increase the bond issue for
building this special road to $780,
900, the state putting up a like
amount government covering both
state and county, giving 100000
for the construction of the road. Ano-
Their 100000 bond issue will be voted
on for the building of lateral roads.
While only very limited time
passed in which to circulate these pc
titions it is very gratifying to know
that large humber of the citizens
of the county freely signed for the
bond election, and those who circulat-
ed the petitions state that they found
but little opposition in any section of
the county. The commissioners of
the county will meet again on May 29
and pass formal resolutions calling
the election, which will be announced
for the earliest date possible. None
fear but that it will carry by large
majority and the people are looking
forward to the day when Pickens will
havd model highway leading to the
most prominent town in the county.
1t is believed that after this road is
constructed the county will be able
to take better care Of the branches
leading ilto it, thus assuring travel
over the county the year round.
