Within the corporate limits of

At tho last meeting Of the

but ii large number Of the pro.
perty owners in that part OF

track in preference TO following
The regular roud az now main
tanned and we believe they are
right in their contention. While
the grade up the dummy track
no doubt is better than the pres
ent road we believe il would be
a bad policy to change from the
present road along which is be-
ing rapidly built up aud which
passes by the large hosiery mill
recently put into operation. The
old dummy track runs along the
brow of the hill and can never
be built up to any great extent,
and besides we do not believe
1t is fair to people who have
bought property on the present

manent road to a street that can

the sake Of n little better grade.
With Il little filling in beyond
Mr. Bounds residence the grade

Will Wed
His First Sweethear, After
Thirty Years Separation.

After thirty years separation
Mayor W. J. Horsley, of Big
Stone Gap, Va, is on his way
back to Columbia, Tenn, to see
the 'Girl whom God might have
made sweeter but didn't"
The mayors romance is like
one Of those told in old novels.
As a youth he went away to make
his fortune before claiming the
girl lie loved. He came to the
Kentucky coal fields, made his
fortune, and there was told by a
former friend from Tennessee
that his sweetheart had married
another. The heartbroken youth
burned her letters and wrote
poetry in memory OF love that
was lost.
An enemy in Tennessee, May
or iIorsley believes now, was re-
sponsible for the false story of
the girls marriage.
Now, Mayor Ilorsley, wild
over with several children. has
learned that the girl in Tennes.
see is waiting. So he is on his
way. They have exchanged
poems and letters, and according
to Mr.. Horsley's quotation from
the Apostle Paul, "loye never
faileth."
In letter sent here Mayor
liorsley told of road improve
ments under way at Big Stone
Gap which will connect up some
of the intersectional highways,
opening sections of the mountain
country which heretofore were
closed to tourists. - Louisville
