Horton and on through the Rice, Stringer, D. A. Geer and J. N. Willingham property and will intersect the Anderson road at the Pepper place. This is a little change in the first route planned. The first route would have struck the Poore property. This route, together with the changes already granted by the property owners at Broadway Creek; gives Ander son and Belton an ideal highway, a long felt need.
