DELEGATION OF MORE THAN HUNDRED CITIZENS REQUEST SHARE OF FUNDS A delegation of nn.re than 10U "itizens of the Hangingdog section waited upor. th Road Commissioners j Monday and asked that a share ot* i the maintenance funds be spent upon the Hangingdog road. The meeting; was held in the court - r? orn at 1 :30 o'clock, because the large d- legation over-crowded the mall room in which the Road Com ; mission's office is located. The meeting was called to order by Chairman A. Rice, and \V. A. Adams acted a> spokesman for the Hangingdog delegation. Mr. Adams explained that the delegation was th-.r. in a friendly snirit and good 1 will, and stated briefly the condition jc? the road leading from Murphy 'out through Hangingdog, an.t re quested that the Commas:?;- in tlic j future st t aside money to properly , maintain the Hangingdog road. The Hangingdog road has be n : adly neglected in the past. Mr. Adams stated, but that no kick was .ig registered by the delegation for that. Th request was that in 1 the future, a fair shar: of the rcact unds be spent upon the toad to put it in better condition than it is now, and that the body did want an an wer, either yes or no, and wanted j the Commission to inak due record of their answ r in the minutes.

Mr. Russ 11 said he! w;.- exceedingly glad to see the fine spirit of cooneration manifest by the : mcetintr, and that he felt honored to S to woik with men who showrd su^h ready spirit of co-operation. The Commission, he said according to his own personal opinion, sneaking for himself, weer servants of the peopl? -?nd d sired as best they could to trive th^ people what they wanted, and unless the people expressed their dec?res, tch commission could not in telligently do the best work. As the meeting was about to ad journ, Mr. Joe Coleman arose and requested that the Grane Creek road be given some attention, also, before the winter months set in, so that it could be traveled by the mail carrier. The meeting was fraught with th? spirit of co-operation nnd good will, and the Hangingdog people received the acsurance that their road would b? taken care of in the future. roHtion, and neople are appreciative of their labors.

They travel in trucks and c aim to equal any twenty-car railroad show on t h ? hokd, ard to surpass all of that siz 1 in the number and rarity of animals cai ried. There is no doubt that they are a icood forty-truck show, and for com munities that do not jret th bin cir CDser. they art- a hig rirrns.
