THE DANBURY REPORTER
VOLUME XL.
FROM MR. WADDELL
WALNUT COVE-DENNIS ROAD
TUita Forsyth Conaty Will Be
Glad To Meet Stokes At the
County Lint With A Good Kotd.
Dennis, Feb. 2d.
Editor Reporter:
I have just read in your paper
Mr. Spoon's answer to the ques
tion of building a good road to
the County line at Fulp. Now,
as he says, no orders have been
issued for work beyond Dennis,
but the people of Forsyth are
like Mr. Spoon says he is per
sonally, they would love to see
the road completed to the county
line, and in my opinion there is
no doubt about our county
authoritie&jtoiilding to the line
if Stokes would let them know
they were going to meet them
at the line with a good road.
Now not long«ince I heard sev
eral business men living in and
around Walnut Cove say they
were willing to give liberally for
the building of the good road
from that place to the County
line at Fulp. One of them said
he would be almost willing to
sell the shirt from his back to
build good roads, tfnd no doubt a
large amount could be raised by
private subscription for the
building of this piece of road.
Then why should not their
county help them raise the re
quired amount? This would be
a starter for a good road from
Walnut Cove to Danbury, which
would add thousand of dollars to
the taxable property of Stokes
county, and would convince her
people of the necessity of good
roaas, and a county that is will
ing to build a good road to the
county line, the adjoii.ing coun
ty should be willing to meet her.
with a good road, as both coun- j
ties are benefited alike by the j
road that is built in either coun-;
ty, if it should be built to the 1
line. ♦
Now, make the proposition to
the Forsyth county authorities
as suggested and see if I am not
right as to them building a good
road to the county line.
Respectfully,
J. D. WADDELL.

Reply to The Letter of Y. S.
Smith.
Danbury Route 1, Feb. 16.
Mr. Editor :
I saw in your paper of the
past week a letter signed by Y.
S. Smith, of Meadows, concern
ing tne Reporter's next voting
contest. I see that Mr. Smith
says that H. H. Reid said that
R. L. Coleman, of Snow Creek,
and John Tillotson, of Saura
town, were the ugliest two men
in the county, but Mr. Smith
says he has a man in Meadows
township who will surely take
the prize. He says his man is
ten feet high, has a nose four
inches wide and eight inches,
long and wears a number twenty
shoe, and he says this doesn't
tell half that could be told. He
says that if I could see him I
would give him twenty years
subscription to the Reporter, so
I will say to Mr. Smith in a good
humor that he must show his
man and if he looks like he says
he does in every respect he will
have to prove that man to be a
man of good character before he
gets my two thousand votes.
Now, the man R. L. Coleman,
of Snow Creek, I know nothing
about The man I spoke of wai
R. S. Coleman, of Peter's Creek,
a man whom everybody knows
is ugly and they know he means
no harm by being ugly, and he,
is smart with it and-'I tell you
you have got to get an ugly
smart man to get up votes with,
so as election year is here now
we don't think we could do our
contest justice, so lets hold up
our contest until just as the cam
paign goes out and then we will
nave more fun than you ever
saw if the prize in worth enough
for your long-haired man to
want it
Yours truly.
H. H. REID.
