The Logic Is Unassailable

There is an unincorporated community in northeastern Arkansas that goes by the name of "Number Nine".

There are also places known as "Number Eight" and "Number Ten".

It seems a little more than a hundred years ago these places were the sites of lumber mills known as "Number Nine Lumber Mill", "Number Ten Lumber Mill," and so on.

The lumber mills are long gone, but the names remained in place, simply because people in the area already knew them by those names, so why screw up what people already know.

Have to admire the logic.
