Want Boosters to Go to Lafayette to. Attend Meeting.

The latest plan for boosting the Dixie Highway is to have a number of auto loads go to Lafayette to attend a meeting Friday afternoon at 1 o’clock. Mayor Sjntler, a member of the Jasper county committee, says that it is not necessary to go in order to add to the enthusiasm of the Lafayette people, for they are already full to overflowing, but it is desired to get our own people enthusiastic and this will follow a visit to Lafayette.

County Commissioner H. W. Marble from Wheatfield, Commissioner D. S. Makeever will drive down and take with him Commissioner Welch and others. Delos Thompson will drive has car down, taking some of the boasters with him. Mr. Thompson's familiarity with the roads and with road construction makes him a valuable man in connection with our effort to procure the highway and he is being urged to attend ttye meeting at Chattanooga Thursday of next week.

The meeting planned for Friday afternoon in Rensselaer to select two delegates to go to Chattanooga has been postponed until Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock owing to the fact that it conflicted with the Lafayette meeting. It is hoped to have a good sized crowd at the meeting Monday and that two good men be chosen to make the trip to Chattanooga.
