C? as second-class matter 1 Roxhoro,N._C., December 17th, 1924 THAT HOSPITAL For many years the subject of building a hospital for Roxboro and Parson County has been discussed, p; in fact it looked at one time as if something would come of the discussion, as the women took hold of the matter. We do not believe the town, or County, is large enough to nodertuice this alone .but we have been thinking abont it and have decided the best solution is for Granville and Person County to come together and bnild a hospital for the treatment of the tubercular patients of the two counties. Of course, it wtsdM not be confined exclusively to' this one disease, but the two coun-': . , _ JHu hare many such patients who I healil receive treatment and the two' tiepifhl'n could eaaily maintain such aa institution. It is - only about twenty six miles from qne town to Use other, and with a pood sand clay mad about completed the distance , would be of no consequence. We would love to hear from Gran- " v31e aa to this proposition. A hos- 1 pital could be built somewhere near I the county line, cither m Granville or Pernon?wherever the best site 1 could be secured on the most satisfactory terms, land be within easy reach of the territory represented. There tare many hillsides covered with pine forests which would make ] an ideal location for such an institut- I ten. Neither county has such an institution j^nd we believe all will admit both should have. Let's pet t'ojeether and see if something can not bo dene lakmp this line. THAT BOND ISSUB, In another column will be found a notice calling an eiecticti for the town of Rorboro asking for a bond iaoue of seventy five thousand dol- j Jan. Now, we feel that Roxbdto' j wnd Person county has just about readied the point where we should ' call a halt on the bond question, but thus are two things which are abnoitfMy necessary for every town, 1 these being vAiter and schools. The first we are glad to say, has been ] aetitled for many years, but the sec- 1 ood is one of the necessities,-and 1 nhMi we regret it is necessary to increase taxes, still, we shall support this measure and call upon all -of oar good citizens to do likewise. , The future of the town largely de-'; peods upon its schools, and all of I us know there is no way out of this.' difficulty, dive a bond iasue. However, we were in hopes wheni this cjuestion came up that the citi- (] sens of Roxboro and the County j would see the light, and all agree tfad peeper thing to <So was to build a County high school building which wnUM take care of every child in who wanted to attend , I this Ugh school Make it a RE A I.

Some of. msr high schools do not like for us |: to any H, but it is true, there is not ^ a nhl number one high school in .the County. This is not Our o|pinion, but it is according to the way the - State Educational .Department has giadod?them. Would that the County Board of t Education and the Roxboro Graded , ffebool Trustees might get together i xmi remedy this matter before a mistake is made. It if not too lite. ""Every day in every w*7" -we are ' assure and more convinced that the martd is getting" better. Just this ^ ~ i??A"ulun the r?m.b'j"ri?eB)feht'is madetkst Mr J. B.

Duke haying lived. We have known for some time that Alamance county was one of the most progressive in the State, but she steps up another - notch. At a meeting of the Board of Couhty Commissioners Monday the board appropriated two hundred and fifty dollars to purchase a piano for the. court house. And just to think, we can't even get la court house. The Highway Commission decided not to recommend the issue of more bonds fot roads, leaving that to the incoming Governor. However, the feeling is pretty strong for more roads and to get more roads means more bonds, so there will likely by another issue of thirty five millions. ;?o After all it took a Democrat, Mr. Upderwood, to settle that Muscle Shdils fight. My, but what would the Republican party be if it was not lor the help they get from the Deraodratic party when they tackle a real big snag. r o ? (For our part we wish there were more Buck Duke's to remember some more of the denominational colleges for all of them could very well use several hundred thousand, or even millions. . n is none of our fight, but if Mr. Meekins does not land that plum then we will say the Republicans of North Carolina arc the most ungrateful wretches of our knowledge. ?? o? ? ?.?? us? -r-'tw i .'err.il v' '&at POR SALE, High bred Barred Rocks liens and roosters.
