Unless we are willing 10 give up

the march OF progress.

highways are connected up in the

sands OF visitors and tourists will
come through this section every
year. Instead of having them

we want them to come through

HOSIERY MILL OFFICIALS
WANT NEW ROAD

To correct misstatement of this
Company's attitude toward rout-
ing of proposed concrete road,we
are printing below letter recent
~ sent to the Town Council by
Mr.. +. y. Kitzmillcr. vice pres
idcnt
Town Council,
Big Stone Gap.
Gentlemen
In reference to the proposal OF
your council TO move the main
highway from the front OF the
Hosiery Mill, will say that we be-
lieve this will be great mistake.
We selected this site on account
OF its close proximity to the main
highway and to the proposed new
railroad shops and depot. We
still have property at the rear OF
our building which we do not
yet occupy. but hope to at some
future date.
We believe that in order To
make it easy Tor our help and for
the Development oi buildings in
this vicinity. the change of the
highway would be a mistake and
would. therefore, urge that you
continue the present main high
way as ii is.
We believe the bonds should be
issued and request the voters to
route II by the mill. thereby ser
wing hes, interests OF the town
and taxpayers

LONDON, July IA serious food

republican military forces in Ireland,
according to statements from Free
State sources. From Wexford, Linn
erick, Waterford and Tullow, in Coun-
ty Carlow, and several other places.
come stories Of serious privations,
ascribed mainly to the commander
ing of food supplies for the use OF
the insurgent troops. These supplies
it is said, have been seized without
the least regard for the needs or the
people, and without compensation TO
the owners.
The republicans are declared 10 be
living on the country in the manner
of the invaders of feudal times, there
by creating a spirit of intense bitter
ness against themselves. StoppaGe OF
communications through the destruc-
ton of bridges and removal OF ralis
is said to be adding CONSIDERABLY 10
the suffering of the popuigtioh' as
supplies cannot reach even hose dis-
tricts where the insurgents are net
