this is the short direct route to
Wolfe City.
The land owners owning laud
east of tl.e Freylock-Prather
line, have always been ready for
such a line and will no doubt be
in the field. They claim they
have the best ground for the
read bed, and a more thickly
populated territory. .

are good ones, both practk-ald .
