Mr. Kiger did not resign from the roacl board Monday. On the contrary he, with his Young, holds on. JThe report which somebody started at the February meet ing to the effect that Kiger would get off to quiet the tur moil which radiates about the highway board, and which al ways radiates about all high way boards, proved to be un founded. Mr. Kiger holds on— in fact nothing was said about his resigning. Nf ,'iher was H. H. Brown fired as county road superin tendent On the contrary, Mr. P.r; M' was re-employed by the Lu»rJ, and there were ex ; * of approval touching his faithful and excellent ser vice. Moreover, and whereas, cer tain petitions had been circul ated and signed asking the re moval of J. R. Hall and Ernest Chapman as maintenance men, Hall and Chapman were both "guilty of high crimes and mis demeanors, the evidence failed to bubble up, and so this bub ble was smashed, and the temn est in the teapot cooled down. Special work of sanding and widening the Pitzer-Tilley road was ordered begun at once. Other matters of a routine nature were transacted, and the board adjourned.

Citizens of Francisco and Law sonville Vvili Probably .Vnw For Order En joining C:.s ot* Their .Money For Pa;c JLJI School. It is learned that citizens of Francisco and Lawsonville patrons of schools of those places —will ask restraining order to prevent funds allocated to their respective schools to be used in constructing th? new high school building pro posed for Pine Hall. Some months ago the board of education definitely decided upon building new school houses at Lawsonville and Francisco, and $40,000 bonds were sold for that purpose. Now it is alleged, the county authorities propose to erect a building also at Pine Hall ard to pay for it out of the money apportioned to Lawsonville and Francisco. This the patrons of the latter do not propose to stand for, but contend that th» Lawsonville and Frar>cis«"> money cannot either as a mat ter of rruoral or legal right be diverted from its original pur pose. The matter will probably come up at the April meeting of the board of education, when the positions of the Lawson ville and Francisco people will be fully stated. One Farmer Will Quit Tobaceo B. N.

While he is two miles from the cor porate limits of the city he has all the cfcty conveniences tun! the town is rapidly building out toward his place. 65 Years Old; First Visit To Danbury Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Hear ers, of the Asbury community of Stokes county, wen 1 visitors here today.
