Fakes Mercantile Company
Road District Is Formed
The County Court with Judge
A. L. Hutchins presiding today
issued an order which made the
proposed road district, formed to
build a rock road from Fakes to
Fair Oaks, a reality.
Judge Hutchins also appointed
commissioners, whom he had al
ready left up to the people to
select, as follows: Messrs Fletch
er Lewis, J. H. Crossett and T.
A. Jeffries.
About 285 of the 350 property
owners in the district signed the
petitions asking for the district
to be created which was a big
majority in number. The peti
tions also contained a nice ma
jority in acreage and lacked only
a very small amount of having a
majority in valuation. Either of
the three was sufficient.
Mr. M. H. Patterson of Jelks
was present and filed a petition
against the road district being
formed wThich was over-ruled by
| the Court. He stated that the
| matter will be appealed but the
only thing Mr. Patterson can do,
; if that, is to delay the matter.
I He can not possibly, it is
| thought, prevent the road being
built and the people are unani
mous in desiring to see construc
tion of same begin as soon as
possible.
The commissioners selected are
some of the best farmers and
business men in-the county; they
are each capabable and enjoy the
respect and full confidence of our
people and we are sure will turn
the wheels of progress as swiftly
as possible so far as the building
of this permanent highway is
concerned.
