TAXPAYERS UNITE ON NEW STONE ROAD

Old Petition Withdrawn and Another Substituted For Union Township —23 Miles.

W. L. Wood was down from Parr this Monday morning and filed a new petition for a system of stone roads in that township, withdrawing the other petition. The new petition contains the names of 74 Resident freeholders and is said to meet quite general approval. It calls for 23 miles and the following is the route: Starting a half mile nroth of Virgie it runs south to the Rose Bud church. It branches at the Fred Schultz corner and runs east to Aix and south to Burk’s bridge. Another section of the road is from the Newton township line at the Hershberger farm north to the Fuller schoolhouse and west to Fair Oaks. Another section of it is from the Fuller schoolhouse north two miles and west one mile.
