KENTUCKY MAY
EXTEND ROAD TO
BLOWING ROCK

The Clerks office has received
a request from DR.. Sanders of
Elkhorn City, KY, for a certified
copy of the request made by the
Board of Supervisors that the
Blowing Rock Gap road be taken
into the secondary highway sys-
tenn. DR.. Sanders explains that he
intends to present this to the road
commissioners of Pike County,
KY, to induce them to have Ken
lucky meet Virginia with road
in the Blowing Rock Gap.
Pike County already has a
good secondary road to the lime
stone quarry, located a short
distance down the 'North Of the
Mountain" 1t seems more than
probable that Kentucky authori-
ties will extend their highway to
the state line, if and when Vir-
ginia shows definite intent to do
the same.
The old road through Blowing
Rock Gap was once a well travel
ed passway in the days of horse
back and wagon travel. 1t was
not kept up and was thus allow
ed to lapse into disuse. With en-
ough push and pull from Pike
and Dickinson counties, this old
highway may be revived.

ANOTHER STILL FOUND ON
SOUTH OF CUMBERLAND

1t looks as if the people over
on the mountain around the
White Rocks, near the Dickinson
Wise line, might as well decide
to give up moonshining. A feder-
al officer, accompanied byDeputy
Sheriff Ernest Mullins, followed a
report into that section Thursday
evening. They found an oil tank
still, with accessories, in the fur
mace. About 300 gallons of mash
was ready to run. Axes, hoes,
buckets and other small necessa-
ries We're at the place. AS the
place was not running, no opera
tors were present.

At one time he was foreman

siderable time. The deceased

er than any other person.
Burial was at Tarpon Sunday.
Funeral services were held in the
Tarpon Freewill Baptist church,
of mhich Mr.. Myers was mem
Der, by Elders Jack Kiser and
Willard Martin.

Elder Mullins Loses
His Main Support

Sherman Mullins, ex-justice of
the peace and town character,
lost his cane Saturday and was
missing it sorely Monday.
It appears that Sherman became
all hooved up over the prospect
of attending the carnival and In
that merry mood forgot his cane.
Thus far, he has failed to find it
and the loss grieves him much,
as he would not have taken
three dollar bill for that staunch
support.

AGRICULTURE AND
VET TEACHERS
HOLD CONFERENCE

Fred N. Fletcher, county farm
agent, met with the agriculture
and veterans teachers at the ag-
riculture building here Saturday
morning to discuss various mat
tiers of Importance connected
with their work.
Among the first matters con-
sidered was the vaccination of
dogs. The ordinance passed by
the board of supervisors last year
requiring that all dogs that run
at large be vaccinated is still in
effect and will be during the pres
ent terms of the members unless
they decide to rescind it.
Some of the teachers feared
that if they should go ahead and
buy materials needed for vaccin-
alton, thaht the supervisors might
rescind the ordinance before they
used it, leaving them with the
materials on their hands. It was
decided to postpone action until
some definite agreement one way
or the other could be had with
members of the board of super
visors. Anvil Deel and Carl and
Charles Baker expressed them
selves as strongly in favor of dog
vaccination. At least one other
teacher expressed himself as be-
twixt and between.
1t was debated whether to hold
a county livestock fair or not. The
teachers finally decided to hold
community livestock fairs in sec
lions where there are agricultur-
al centers and veterans classes.
Carson Carmichael, representa-
tive of the AEP Company, attend
ed the meeting and advised the
gathering of the progress the
company is making toward build
ing rural electric lines through
out the county He said that the
line would be extended 100 miles
in the county this year, and that
the company expected to extend
the line over IS per cent of the
county within the next two years.
There was much discussion
about the 100 bushel corn contest.
1t was decided that the county
farm agent, an agriculture teach
err, and local farmer would
measure the acreage and the
yield of each contestant,
The agricultural teachers will
hold their next meeting with Mrs,
Jess w. Skeen, chairman of the
USDA Council.

wonder. The roar of forty-five
startled taht wonder into wild
surprise, and the rolling thunder
of five more explosions curdled
it into fear. The swift pounding
of hoofbeats came down the wind
and horseman clattered into
view. He held the bride in his
teeth and waved a spouting gun
in either hand. More shots kept
the uproar flying as men and wo
men scattered into alleyways or
inside doors. The steed, guided
by the riders jutting jaw, reared

of the courthouse, as one gun
belched leaden rain at the col
umns and another spattered a
skipping hail down Mcclure
Avenue. All the while, fiendish
yells, such as Indians once gave,
split the air. A few little boys,
who had been playing cops and
robbers on the square, rushed
forth, with Benny Silcox in the
lead, slapped their hands in glee,
for they knew the old West had
come to town. One of the kids
shouted, "Why, it's Chug Robin
