It brings us face to face with the great reality and our comfort comes from out trust in God, as you well know. I hope your faith may be stronger in Him from day to day, and that you are laying up treasurers in Heaven thereby being able to take a Heaven with you when you go. I’ ll try to be there. I am trying to remember the last time I saw you. I should like very much to see you again. Please write me a word sometime. I often think of our days together at school.

The Harrison Fiscal Court on Tuesday ordered the Lair pike reconstructed from Cynthiana to the Bourbon line and the remainder of the Falmouth pike resurfaced between Cynthiana and the Pendleton line. It was a sensible, business-like move on the part of the Fiscal Court as the county will thus turn over 22 miles of pike to the State and the county will never have any further expense on these roads which will in the future be maintained by the State. The action of the Court was unanimous, and all members were present except Squire Bedford. County Judge T. E. King and County Attorney H. L. Peterson both favored the necessary work from the Bourbon to the Pendleton line in order to get the pikes in condition to be accepted by the State. They stated that it would be the best thing for the whole road system of the county to get rid of the Lair and Falmouth pikes, as they have been very expensive to maintain, and turning them over to the State would leave the county more money in the future to spend on other pikes. The engineers estimated that the entire necessary work to get the pikes in shape from the Bourbon to the Pendleton lines would cost about $20,000, which would be the last expense the county would have on these roads.
