The btate Library No. 2,021 SATURDAY, JAN. 11 i i Great Mass Meeting to Talk Good Roads to Be Held At Danbury. i LET EVERYBODY COME Dr. J. NV. Neal and Efx-Sheriff C. M. Jones Take the Lea J in Calling the People To gether to Discuss Im portant Matter, j To the People of Stokes County : We believe that the time has come to take action in regard to building roads in Stokes county. We find a strong and fast-grow ing sentiment in all sections favoring the idea. The people are realizing with greater force than ever before that the need of good roads is imperative. It is conceded by almost everybody that the old system of free labor has had its day, and is no longer adequate to meet the need of modern times. Th* rtads in j many.sections of the county tre iin a fearful and dangerous con dition. and soon the coming of bad weather will put them in a shape that may deter traffic for ! weeks or months in a large de gree. I In response to an urgent de j mand in many quarters of the 'county, we therefore take the | liberty to call a mass meeting of ! the people of Stokes county at 1 the court house in Danbury on Saturday, January 11, for the purpose of discussing the most practicable and feasible method of securing better roads. The legislature is soon to meet, and Iwe should have an eye open to securing legislation thai will help us. To this meeting we cordially , invite every tax-payer of Stokes county to attend and give us his ' opinion. Lst representatives \ from each township get busy and bring out th? paopl3 from every neighborhood. This matter is of vital importance to our county. Let us have a large attendance and a free expression of the people's will. DR. J. W. NEAL. C. M. JONES. j . _ I • Smith. ! Smith, Dec, 30.
