For many years Exira has patronized quite liberally everything that Atlantic brought to her town. But the unfriendly spirit exhibited toward Exira in aiding, in every possible way and manner, the establishment of what they call tbe White Pole Road which is being established from Dee Moines to Atlantic by a few promoters, and in antagonism to the finest road in the world viz the soul inspiring and gliding River to River Road which comes through Des Moines, Guthrie Center and Exira to Atlantic is to say the least to be regretted. It is not enough tor our fair sister city to enjoy mnny privileges that seem impossible to the Bmaller towns. But when it comes to tearing down such enthusiaem and tearing up such roads that we have spent a small fortune on to create and build and all tbe time having a feeling that our outlay would in some way be reciprocated by Atlantic and now to learn that "The White Pole Road growB in favor daily and good work ia being done now to put it in condition its entire, length"—Atlantic News, May 9th—is like the dog with the bone and intimates to. Exira that all we have done Is as nothing.
