Excellent New Road Around Brushy
'Hill Opened
Through the kindnessof Mr. John
H. Whitmore, supervisor for Lex?
ington district, the Gazette enan was
last Thursday afternoon driven over
the new toad around Brushy Hill,
recently constructed by the road
boards of Lexington and Kerr'*
Creek districts, and opened to trav?
el Friday, June !Uh.
Tho new road branches off fron
tve old Alum Springs road near tb'
cottages ul the Rockbridge Lim
Kilns and re-enters that road at Old
Monmouth church. The new route ic
its heaviest grade is only about 4
per cent, and obviates the heavy
grade over Hrishy Hill, which is*
about IS per cent, in places.
The traveller can notice a differ?
ence between tho rounding np and
side draining of the sections made
by the Lexington district and thc
Kerr's Creek district. The former
bas the advantage of the latter in
smoothness and fullness.
Whistle Creek is bridged at the
old Brown Woolen Mills and sever
al stone culverts and crossdrainso
corrugated iron are arranged tc
carry the accummulation of watet
from the side ditches on the uppei
side of tho road.
The new road is a great conven
ience for the people of Kerr's Creel
district. The only wonder is tha
the change was not made long ago
Impressed With Lexington's Street!
Captain P. St. Julian Wilson
State Highway Commissioner, whi?
ts a graduate of the Virginia Mili
tary Institute aud is here attending
commencement, is much impresse:
with Lexington's improved streets
especially the tarvia streets. Cap
tain Wilson has made road-making a
study, and his judgment on suet
matters has weight.
Another. Mr. G. W. St. Clair, t
member of the Board of Trustee*
of Washington and Lee University,
who was in Lexington last week and
who is interested in road construe
lion in his county, expressed him
self as highly pleased with Lexing
ton's street improvements.
A gentleman who spent se vera
years in Lexington in a prominem
position and removed from here sev
eral months ago. was a visitor hert
during the Washington and Let
commencement. He said he had no
before been so impressed with tb,
attractions of the town, and that th<
residents of this community shouk
be congratulated on their civic
pride.

by many of them, a citizen the otb
day said that the prevention of a
cidents was not due to any action

watch care of a kind providence.
