condition. From Naples to Marco
Junction it is not so good. The
shell road ends and the dirt road be-
gins. Tamiami trail proper does not
go through to the town of Marco
1t branches off about five miles
north of the WALLACE and heads east,
over toward Miami. 1t is this Sec
ton which is impossible.
The road grade has been estab-
lished almost as far east as Deep
Lake Hammock Railroad. In sever
al places however, it has been wash
ed out and it is impossible for motor
lists to travel on it for more than a
mile. On account of the heavy rains
during Che Last summer, very little
if any work has been done on eX-
tending the grade. SO far as that is
concerned, Lee county mas done very
little on the road during the past
year. Road builders who took the
contract did not carry on the work cs
agreed. Several months ago the con-
tract was taken over by New York
engineering firm, Alexander, Ramsey
e. Kerr. 1t is understood that this
firm is connected with the interests
of Barron G. Collier, capitalist who
owns several hundred thousand acres
of land in the southeastern end of
the state. Inasmuch as the develop
ment of the Collier property hinges
on the completion of the trail il IS ey-
pected that the work will be carried
on more rapidly from now on
According to original plans, the
trail would have gone through the
northern end of Monroe county. the
section in Monroe to be built at the
eXpese of the Cheveler Corporation
which owns large tracts of land in
that locality. For some unknown
reason, this plan was abandoned.
The contract between Lee county and
Alexander, Ramsey & Kerr calls for
the construction of the trail eastward
from the present location of the
dredge to the Dade county line.
When this section of the trail will
be completed is matter of conjec-
ture. The road builders in Dade
county progressed at the rate of a
mile month. If no better speed
can be made in Lee county, nearly
three years will be required mas
much as the uncompleted section is
approximately thirty miles long.
Much of this, however, is through fiat
woods pine land where the conditions
are favorable for rapid work.

Three popular young men of Ar

if not fatal injuries Saturday after
noon, when a blowout caused their
car to turn over at the turn in the

rather rapid rate when the accident
happened. Commercial Agent Cum

some OF his teeth were knocked out.
Tom Alderman and Jim Hollings-

were painfully cut and bruised about
their heads and faces. A 2assing

they were given prompt surgical at

TOURIST CLUB MEETS

The Tourist Club had almost an
overflow meeting Tuesday evening.
There were about ninety present, tax
ing the seating capacity. Next Tues
day we will have arranged addition
al seats which will comfortably seat
many more.
There was much interest and en-
thusiasm which bids fair to make this
the banner season for the Punta Cor
da Tourist Club. The live wires ap-
pointed at the last meeting to pros
pect for a piano and report its find
ings Tuesday evening went forth and
bought one, had it moved into the
club room and Immediately we put
it to use. The action of the commit.
tee met with hearty approval from
the club. The committee, Mrs. Top
! per, Mrs. Darcy and Col. Stewart,
| thought the piano worth the price
and knowing as both you and | know
that we must have music the Colonel
simply bought it, placed it in the club
room and it was for the club to de-
eide if they would take it. Very fair
and generous Of the Colonel.
Now with a good piano we also
have the help of Mr.. and Mrs.
Darcy which should mean much to
our Glee Club. Saturday evenings
Mrs. Darcy generously gives her
home and time to the glee club for
practice and arranging programs for
club entertainment. Let all who
think they can or heard some one say
they can sing go every Saturday eve
ming to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. |
Darcy; it's your privilege and duty.
For information of new members,
you are invited to volunteer to the
entertainment committees to take
some part on the programs. Not
knowing your accomplishments you
might be overlooked and it is not in
tended for any of us to feel sighted
or have cause to be. The committee
will welcome your offer to assist.
We also welcome visitors and citi-
zens to meet with us and address us.

ers Here, -

Saturday was big day in Maysville
for the tobacco growers of Mason
county who were members Of the Byr-
ley Tobacco Growers Cooperative As
sociation. Twenty-Five hundred checks
for approximately $450,0OO were dis

pany stand at Market and Second
streets. The crowd was handled quick
ly and everyone was more than salts
fled with the size of the check he re-
ceived.
In handling so many accounts, 1t
was certain that there would be some
mistakes and someone would be over
looked. Arrangements have been
made, however, to take care Of those
who failed to receive their checks Sat
urday and these checks will be dis
tributed this week.
1t is reported that about fifty new
contracts were signed by growers who
have been holding out and that about
100000 pounds was added to the Ma
son county pool by these contracts.
Another distribution will be made
sometime during the summer, the date
to be announced later. and another big
day is expected in Maysville on the
day Of this distribution.
