Speaking of the proposed Fed eral Highway in Kentucky which Hickman and Fulton counties are trying to have terminate at Hick man instead of Wickliff e, the Car lisle News says: "True, Clinton and nickman are endeavoring to" pull the road via those two towns, but really there isn't a ghost of a chance Jor them. According to their plans, the road would run to Hickman from Jlayf ield, via Clinton, but it Ls not stated what would be done with the highway after it reaches Hie tin an. They would either have to drown it in the Mississip pi river at the foot of the great bluff on which Hickman is locat ed, or else bury it in the quag mire of nigerwool swamp across the river in Missouri. The high way is too good a proposition to meet such a fate as either." Blesas your soul, Tom, we are not "six miles from nowhere," and instead of this great high way being lost in , niggerwool, it Q . Try Oiur fl would be linked up with the mag nificent highways of the south by coming to Hickman thus giving southern people southern service. However, .the plans in this case are for a state highwayand not a transcontinental route; and the interests of Kentuckians should come first Cairo second. PAYS BIG DIVIDEND.
