JThe little maid was v, eil and shower boquet of lilies of the ivalley. - ' J The mystery was solved when she !gave each guest a tiny white satin bag 'filled with rice with a heart attached, Rearing the following: "E. K. M. to f- F. M. Sept. 29th, 1920." This proved to be the announcement of the Pgagement of Miss Elizabeth Milliken X r .Henry Fisher Makepeace, of Marriage Announcement An issue of last week's Kinston Free Good Roads lor East Chatham Editor of The Record: It is gratifying to those who know something of the road condition of east ern Chatham that the countv commis sioners are now constructing a road leading from Moore's bridge, touching the Wake county line about Cotten's X roads; and also a road intersecting this road somewhere been Moore's bridge and Cotten's X roads leading to the Dur ham county line. I want to say to the people of east ern Chatham that it is my conviction that they need have no fear about these roads being built for several reasons, to-wit: The road leading from Moore's bridge has already been surveyed, and within a few weeks the road leading to the Durham county line will be survey ed. The surveying of these roads cost something. It would be folly to pre sume that the commissioners are male ing these surveys with - no intention of carrying them out, as has been Inti mated by some; but, on the other hand, it is only right to conclude that these roads will be built within due course of time. I believe that when the two roads are completed the people of New Hope and Williams townships ought to issue bonds to build their branch roads into these two roads. This will give them a perfect system of roads, which is the only way that a country can derive ma terial benefit from road building. The commissioners of: our county are to be commended for this action. I say this, because I believe that it is right that every citizen should commend the action of the officials of our govern ment when such action results in ma terial benefit to the people whom they serve and repi-esent. We all know there are no better peo pie in Chatham than those Deople who live m the eastern section of this coun tv.' If I understand the sentiment of these people correetly, I believe it is their hope and desire to keep pace with the progress of road building and schoo building throughout the state, and to have roads and schools that will be living monument to good citizenship,-; Respectfully submitted. ?
