the work will be done right.
When this road is completed a
gateway will be opened to South

lack of which the town of Kind's
Mountain has felt kesnly for for

area of good fanning country

make it easily accessible to our
town. That trade logically be
longs here but the isxtreme diffi
culty heretofore encountered in
crossiag the mountain has. turn

derstand that the people over

The road crosses Muddy Branch
at the old crossing and follows
the old road to where a straight
line strikes Clear Creek. A new
crossing is described at Clear
Creek, The road lied from Clear
Creek to the state line will not
coincide with the old road but
will cross it a tima or two. A
bout a quarter of a mile of the
new road has been graded be

We found the force divided.
Part of the hands with the teams
were finishing up the grading on
the new section of road extend
ing from the gold mine to the
hill of Muddy Branch. The oth
er part of the force was putting
in a concrete culvert over Clear
Creek . This will be a splendid
job, . It is said to .be much bet

The town is to be congratulated
for the great avenue of trade
and opportunity being opened
up to it through the construction
of this road. The building of

channel ol communication to
York ' County but serves as a
connecting link of a great high
