Jasper-Mary Lee Link Called Best Road In Walker
 County
JASPER BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD { .Insner Ala Oct 30 l

The Jasper Mary Lee road will be completed by the latter part of De- cember, according to statements made in Jasper this afternoon. This new road will run to Mary Lee, 12 miles north of Jasper and two miles from the Winston county line. This road. it is declared, will be the best one in Walker county and will be more ben eficial to the rural sections in north Walker and the southern part of Winston county than any other high way. This road will connect with the gravel road at Manchester. The farmers of Mary Lee and Curry com munities are now hauling gravel from the Sunlight mines to put on two miles of the road, and the coun- ty will gravel the rest. Merchants of Jasper have been behind the con struction of this badly needed road because the farmers of Arley, Nathan and Helicon have to go 10 miles farther to market because of no good road to Jasper.
