THE ONLY HOPE FOR STOKES.
Our Resources. Which Will Equal
Those of Any County in the State.
". • Can Never Be Developed
Without a Railroad.
Walnut Cove, April 17.
Editors Reporter :
j As I see a good deal in your
paper concerning an electric rail
road through Stokes, I wish to say
that if the people of Stokes get a
chance they certainly should vote
the tax of fifty thousand dollars.
I don't mean that they should
give that amount, but they should
take it in stock in the road and let
it belong, to thecounty.
* The greatest trouble I see is
that every man will want the road
to come by. his door. I hope the
.people will not divide on this mat
ter as it would be one of the best
.investments' the county could pos
sibly make.
istokes is just good a county
as there is in the State if "it was
developed, How were' the other
oeunties of the State developed ?
Simply by the people taking hold
of opportunities. Let me advise
every man to vote for anything
that will advance the interest of
the county. All pull together and
in Sfcfew years we will have one of
the'best counties in the State. We
have the natural advantages—the
best water power, good land, fine
timber, good granite, mtyfj, iron in
quantities, and tiw ft'nnat -mineral
..water to it tfill never
be build
ittTSnme will say it
*6*t pay t! din to he.p build roads
to saimebody else's property, but I
think it will, as it will bring capi
tal here and that is what we need
to help yott pay your taxes, and
develop your resources. Of course
it may never be worth one oent to
me, as I expect to leave here in a
few days, but I may come back
some time. If I never do I would
like to see the people of old Stokes
on the high road to prosperity.
1 have friends over the county
tfiat feel near and dear to me.
The only hope for our county is
to build railroads of some kind.

Our school closed last Friday at
Hawpoj>d with a fine, old timy ex
position. Everybody seemed to
be jolly and I am sure that every
body enjoyed the entertainment.
We had 52 pieces on program and
the marching was just as good as
it could be. All the scholars were
made sad when their school closed
and they had to part with their
dear teacher, Mr. Blevins, of Ashe
county. He is as good a teacher
as anyone needs. We all hope to
have him to teach our school
ugain next winter.
