At last becoming tired of this condition ‘a meeting was ‘called at Foster Monday evening, October '22, and at that meeting a commercial club was organized for the purpose of pushing the matter of getting a good road to the county: seat. Three routes were suggested, one by -way of the Haymaker -bridge, one known as the Island route and the third by the Mar- vel bridge road, and as they could not agree on any of these routes the Butler Commercial Club, delegates fron? Hume, Vir- ginia and other localities, who might be interested were invited to attend a meeting at Foster Thursday and help them decide on a route. About 70 members of the But- ler Commercial Club in automo- Diles left Butler at 11 o’clock and proceeded to Foster over the Ilaymaker bridge route. The road was rather rough not having heen worked much, but they ar- rived in Foster in due time. After parking their cars along the main street and brushing some of the dust from their clothes they were escorted to the | lumber yard, where on long tables /was a fine dinner prepared by the ladies of Walnut: which it is needless to say the hungry horde from Butler did full justice.

The crow had frequently been seen by nu- merous people, but its existence had been doubted by those who have been told of-it, but had not seen it. It was first noticed last spring in the Charles R.
