rOdeO, let him talk to Ray Knight
for a few minutes.
If you think the bucker You see

fore the grandstand is just the Or

to Ray and learn the extent of your
ignorance. Anw if you think that,

knight, who is in Shelby making
arrangements for the biggest thing
in rodeos, stampedes, rOundups, or
whatever you may want to call
them, that ever was staged in this

Any anyone who follows the big
wild west shows, or any cowpuncher
who rides the range and dreams of
the time when he will annex the
thousand-dollar saddle at some big
event and be champion of something,
and he will tell you that Ray knight

show which played to as high as co.
600 people in a day, or the Saskatoon
Stampede which the Prince of Wales
honored by his presence.
The big rOdeO at Shelby will be
the first one he has ever handled on
this side of the line, and he aims to
make it his best. A string of So

of stock which he has. A writer in

II. q. TO PAVE RAAn

Following close on the heels of an announcement by the state highway department that the road from Flor ence to Killen will be improved, In- cluding paving with asphalt or other permanent material from East Flor ence to the north road of Wilson dam, comes a letter from Brig. Gen. Harry Taylor, assistant chief of en- gineers of the United States army. that the north road from the Killen road, or Lee highway, to Wilson dam will be paved and maintained by the government, also that borders of the road will be maintained In "a man ner fitting to the dignity of Wilson dam"
 The announcement of General Tay- Tor is in response to an inquiry as to the governments policy by Mrs. l.. M. Jackson, who deeded the right of-way to the government four years ago. At that time a verbal agree ment was made that such road would be constructed at some time in the future, but no written state ment to this effect was given until the receipt of the letter referred to above.
 The building of the "connecting link" in the Lee highway will pro- vide modern macadam road from Florence, through Rogersville to Athens. thereby opening up one of the richest agricultural sections of the Tennessee valley and making possible twice-a-day mail delivery service.
 The paving of North road to Lee highway and the latter road from North road to Sweetwater creek in East Florence, the terminus of the present paving of Tennessee street will provide paved highway from Wilson dam, through Florence, Shef- field and Tuscumbla, connecting the Tri-Cities and all government reser- vations. This will be one of the longest stretches of paved road ir Alabama.
