EASTERN DIXIE HIGHWAY BOOSTED HERE THURSDAY People From Atlanta and All Along Route Met and De cided to Do Something. Next Meeting at Stockbridge at An Early Date. The meeting last Thursday aft ernoon for the purpose of getting together on the highway question —the eastern route of the Dixie Highway which purposes to come from Atlanta by way of Stock bridge, McDonough, Jackson, In dian Spring, Forsyth to Macon — was well attended and enthusiasm shown. The need of such a route is not questioned by anvone. Last spring much work was done by Dr. J. G. Smith, Messrs Julian Weems and Homer Turner and others, and many subscrip tions were received, but for some reason interest and work were permitted to lag; but now it is ex pected to go right along with the matter, provided enough interest can be aroused. And to this end the meeting was had last Thurs day afternoon. The meeting was called to or der by Mr. C. J. Haden; Mr. Aldine Chambers was nominated and elected chairman. The following representatives of the different counties were present: CL J. Hadun. Jhwota. w Paul Turner, McDonough. P. M. Blackman, East Atlanta. E. E. Minor, East Atlanta. S. 11. Moor, ConnaJly. E. F. Fincher, East Atlanta. J. F. Carroll, East Atlanta. Walter Parker, East Atlanta. H. G. Moor, Connally. H. D. Moor, Connally. J. 0. Gaston, Jackson. Craig Cofield, Atlanta. W. J. Redmond, East Atlanta. R. J. Freeman, Decatur. J. W. Maddox, Atlanta. Aldine Chambers, Atlanta. J. L. Craven, Connally. W. T. Wynn, Atlanta. F. P. Camp, Jonesboro. J. T. Weems, McDonough. Frank Reagan, MeDoqpugh. After a general discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Craig Cofield that the county commis sioners of each of the counties through which this highway passes be made or appointed as a committee or board to get all of the information as to cost, differ ent routes, and everthing neces sary for the building of this road, and to recommend the most feas able route; this recommendation to be made to this body at an other meeting. A motion was made and carried t making Mr. C. J. Haden a mem ber of this committee. Members of the county commissioners of Fulton, DeKalb,Clayton, and Butts counties were present. The next meeting will - be held before Christmas at Stocfcbridge, of- whjch notice will soon be given. ..» t • Mrs. M.
