From irformation jusit received, (sni as published in te daily papers) e are i lorned that the Southern wilwaybhi commeuced the final lo Mol of tihe line froml Jellico to Enr Ky., work having commenced at Jellico on January 4th. In viewof the fact that the road has willingne to build the o Garrrd unty, provided way is gi en, we deea it atten 'on af our Oiti a to a a es to be derived by them froin the building of this road. The on y inner in wbich we can se cure.. right-of-way, is by private subltipton, the present constitution f ntucky prohibiting a county vot . ptax for such purposes. We feel iit is the. duty of each and every cpizen of G arerd to do what he can taward this,ae greatest improvement / ud.enterprise we will ever have of fereds. A portion of the right-of -, way has been obtained but there re- I mains a larger part yet to be secured. t It is estimated that the right-of-way t will cost about $25,000. which sum is I exceedingly low, when you consider i e1-nanv advantages to be derived t therefrom - The following wil: show some of t the advantares the road will bring to ; the citizens of Garrard: I d Miles of new road built in the tl county, 10.
