TAXATION FOR ROADS.
Nine Times Oat of Ten the Fellow
Who Doe* the Most Kicking, la
the One Who Doe* the Least Pay
iaf.
Sandy Ridge, April 10.
Messrs. Editors:
I have been reading your good
editorial comments along the
line of better roads and enjoy
them very much.
I think if every citizen of
Stokes county would only wake
up to the sense of duty and give
it the proper thought for one
moment of time, that in a very
short time we would have the
thing going and very soon we
i Would have the pleasure of going
to market or to church or to
school over good roads instead
of the miserable, dreadful,
muddy roads as usual.
Now, I know that some people
object to the idea simply because
they are afraid they will have a
few cents more tax to pay and
nine times out of every ten the
man who kicks up the dust is
the one who will not have to
pay but very little more tax, and
he could take that one-horse
wagon of his, if he has one, and
carry that SB.OO tobacco of his to
market instead of paying a large
price to some one else to pull and
tug it to market into one mud
hole and out and then into anoth
er, or if he wanted to hire 2,000
pounds of anything hauled he
could get it hauled at one load
instead of two, and the trip
would be much cheaper and he
could take that money and pay
his road tax for five years, and
then carry home to the old wo
man a nice dress, and instead of
"John, how much did the haul
ing cost you? and how much have
you get left?" she would be
standing »n the door smiling and
say this is much more like living
at home and boarding at the
same place.
WHO NEXT.
(To be continued.)
' ' __________
'it was very singular that the
children of Mr. D. V. Carroll,
of Mizpah, should have witnessed
the burial of their grandfather
and grandmother on the same
day. Their mother's father,
Mr. A. Lewis, died on Sunday
afternoon the 9th inst, and on
the Monday morning following,
the 10th, their father's mother,
Mrs. Minnie J. Carroll, passed
away. Mrs. Carroll died sud
denly, with something like ap
poplexy.
Mr. J. W. Ashby was here
Saturday and reported that he
saw a flock of wild geese pass
over his house- going north,
which, he said, indicated warm
er weather.
Misses Jettie and Bessie More
field, of Sandy Ridge Route 1,
paid a short visit to Danbury
Tuesday afterooon.
Scott's Emulsion
is a wonderful food-medi
•
cine for all ages of man
kind. It will make the
delicate,sickly baby strong
and well—will give the
pale, anemic girl rosy
cheeks and rich, red blood.
It will put flesh on the
bones of the tired, over
worked, thin man, and
will keep the aged man
or woman in condition to
resist colds or pneumonia
to the winter.

EASTER PROGRAM.
i
' At. the Baptist Church, Walnut
i Cove, Monday Nif tit, April 17.
Walnut Cove, April 18.—The
people of Walnut Cove and
vicinity witnessed at the Baptist
church on Monday evening,
1 April 17, a beautiful Easter
> program arranged by Mrs.
R. Gray Tuttle assisted by the
young people of the town. -
The exercises were opened
by a song, "The Victor King,"
after which reading and prayer
by the pastor, Rev. J. B. John
son.
Then followed the program :

i Gertrude .Mitchell.

: and hard work.
MEADOWS PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Closed Monday With a Nice Enter
tainment—Patrons Plessed.
The Meadows public school,
taught by Mrs. Dr. J. W. Neal
and Miss Chattie Lasley, came
to a close Monday with a nice
entertainment. There was a
large crowd present
The exercises, which consisted
principally of dialogs, recitations
and mock-trials, were held both
in the morning and afternoon,
lasting about 6 hours. The porch
of the school building was used'
as a stage, having been nicely
curtained and decorated with
. cedar and other evergreens. A
string band occupied one corner
of the stage and rendered lively
music between each number of
the program.
At the noon hour each family
brought out large baskets filled
with the best of good things to
eat and soon the scene reminded
one of a Sunday School picnic.
Probably the most interesting
features of the entertainment
and the ones that attracted the
most attention were the May-Pole
dance and marching, which took
place immediately after dinner.
Among other numbers of the
program deserving special praise
were a boxing match—"Jeffries
and Johnson fight," dialogue—
"MischievousNigger," "Medical
Dispensary," "Funnygraph,"
and others. /
The singing by the school was
especially good. It was quite a
touching scene, when the school
came out on the stage and sang,
"God Be With You 'Till We Meet
Again."
At 4:30 o'clock a ball game
between the Tuttle and Flat
Shoal teams was pulled off, re
sulting in a score of 10 to 6 in
favor of Tuttle.
Music for the occasion was
furnished by the Meadows string
band.
The patrons of the school ex
press themselves as very much
pleased with the school this
term.
Prospects for a fair crop of
fruit art good so far.

By All Means Have It Every
Evening-
Pilot Mt., N. C., April 11.-
Papa takes the Reporter and I
; like it fine.
Rev. F. S. Morton filled his
regular appointment at Brims
Grove Saturday and Sunday and
also Sunday night. There was
a large crowd out. Those who
. visited Misses Martha and Bertie
Wilson were as follows: Misses
Flora Sams, Effie Mitchell,
Messrs. Jessie and Adam Hall,
I Claud Stone, Elijah Sams, Robt.
, Jessup, Jim Dunman and Dan
Lyncn. Joe Napier and several
others all seemed to have a jolly
time.
Sunday-school was organized
the first Sunday in April. Hope
it will be a good Sunday-school,
and I know would best Sunday
school that they ever had if they
would have it every Sunday even
i ing and I am the one who wants
! it every evening and most every
body else at Brims Grove wants
it every evening with the excep
-1 tion of a very few who want it
. every morning, but I think it
• will be the best to have it every
. evening on account of the women
• and girls having so much to do
every morning that they can't get
ready in time and it runs them
too hard every Sunday morning.
1 Some of them are afraid it will
rain every if it does
| you will not melt I don't guess
' you are sugar nor salt, and I
think it will be nice to have it
, every evening so the women and
! girls can get their dinner and all
' of them can eat and go to church
! afternoon, and if they have Sun
! day-school every morning they
all get hungry and lots of the
little children have so far to go
when Sunday-school breaks in the
! hot sun shine, and they get
i hungry. It is the best to have
i it every evening, don't you folks
join in with me?
