Harrison Press-Journal. Considerable dissatisfaction is be ing expressed by somo our citizens over the route of road No. 43, of which publication was made last week in tho Hkiiai.d. The route Is live miles nlong the road running south from town, then three miles east, then a mile south, and then n mile cast to the rail road. It then follows tho railroad into Alliance. It is not what was peti tioned for to say tho least. While there may bo many logical objections to tho establishment of this road, It does no look like treating a petition to sidetrack it in this manner. Sub stantially tho samo route to Hcrca is already laid out. Hy going six miles south and thenco directly cast tho tho samo point is reached without ad ditional travel. Wonder why wo can't have published at least the route called for In tho petition? Uox liutto News. Mrs. Will Ranks lias been on tho the sick list for the past week.
