ROUTE OF THE ROAD
WHICH WAY WILL IT COME?
The Exact Location Of the Forsyth
-4 Stokea Sand-Clay Turnpike Has
Not Yet Been Laid Out, But
* Will Be Known Soon—Engineer
J To Start Survey Next Week.
/ 1 Messrs. W. Y. Gordon, Jas. H.
Baker, W. 0. Baker and other
Meadows township citizens were
in town Monday talking in the
interest of the proposed toll
road coming their way enroute
to either Walnut Cove or Ger
manton. Mr. Gordon stated
that the logical route for the
road from Danbury to Walnut
Cove would be out from here via
Flat Shoal, thence striking the
Piney Mountain, which would
afford a high, dry and direct
route to Walnut Cove. Mr Gor
don said the people of that sec
tion would welcome • the road,
vand that they would give the
right of way in nearly every
case. Mr. Gordon said the road
might run anywhere it pleased
across his land and that he
would even move his dwelling,
if necessary. The Baker boys
spoke fully as liberally as Mr.
Gordon. W. 0. Baker said he
would be willing to give one
fourth of his farm to get the
road through his plantation, and
that he would cheerfully donate
the right of way.
It is not yet known exactly
what route the road will run.
But it is probable that the route
along which the most induce
ments in the right of way are
offered, will be chosen.
A number of large land-owners
have already offered the turnpike
k/the right of way from Walnut
£ Cove to Danbury. Among these
are Messrs. A. J. Fair, J. Spot
'Taylor, Mr. Tuttle and others.
The Reporter was informed to
day that Mrs. Laura Davis will
gladly give the right of way over
her farm, which lies right near
Danbury. It is believed that
the property-holders all between
Danbury and Walnut Cove so
deeply recognize the value of
the road coming by or through
their property that not a single
one will dissent, but all will
welcome it, and indeed many
will offer important inducement
for the road to come their way.
It would be a very serious
..thing to a piece of property to
he left off this turnpike, when
by proper inducements it could
be on the main thoroughfare.
Everybody will want land or lots
bordering the road. VVhen once
the route, which will be scien
tifically surveyed, is settled upon
and the turnpike is built, this
means that for all time to come
this will be the main thorough
fare. Parallel roads may be
used by the immediate neighbor
hood, but the main volume of
travel and traffic will always go
through on the turnpike, and
those who turn the road from
their property by exacting too
much, or any damage, will cer
'tainly make a most serious mis
take, and one which they will
'tegret in the years to come.
However, so far as the Repor
ter has learned, everybody wants
the road to come their way,
and some will take large stock to
induce its coming.
A state engineer, to be sent here
Jay State Geologist J. H. Pratt, is
is expected to arrive next week to
begin the preliminary survey.
It is stated that two or three
lines will be run, andat least two
or three courses laid out, in order
that the most available one may
be chosen.

King Route 2. March 25th.—
The people of this section are i
somewhat confused, as last year
they went through dust in mak
ing their crop and were not sat-'
isfied and this spring they are
wading through mud.
Those who have got their Irish
potatoes bought them to soon as
they have eat them.
We learn that Mr. Jim Jones,
Sr., of Pinnacle, is going to killj
a beef for Easter. The corres
pondent and his friends will
visit him.
I think some one is going to |
kill a hog in this section soon.
Mr. C. T. Darnell has his new j
residence complete and has
moved in and had him a phone
installed. Mr. Darnell says he
has forgotten bow poor folks
live.
Mr. C. H. Lunsford is in Vir
ginia, where he went to pur
chase a drove of stock, and will
return the last of this week.
As this is leap year, and it |
continues to rain and the mud is;
deep, there is not much sporting •
in this section at present. The j
boys say if there's not some i
effort made on the girls part
they are going to start out soon
and they will be bothered with
the same crowd another year.
Mr. D. F. Edwards invites the
people of Chestnut Grove sec
tion to come out on the first
Sunday in April for the purpose
of organizing a Sunday school.
It is hoped that all who can will
come out and take a part in the
good work.
We extend congratulations to
Mrs. R. W. Venable, of Vas
sar, Michigan, for her nice letter
in the Reporter of last week.
We certainly did enjoy reading
it. We notice she spoke of
good roads, which is all right, but
we want to educate our children
and then the good roads will
come. A movement is on foot
for a six months school and a
compulsory hchool iaw. We are
sure of good roads when we get
better schools and get the peo
ple to be more interested in
education.
