PROCLAMATION Of THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Of STOKES COUNTY.
To the People of Stokes County :
Whereas. His Excellency, Honorable Locke C'raig, Governor of
North Carolina, has designated two days, November 5 and 6, as (
GOOD ROAD DAYS to be observed in every county, town-;
ship and neighborhood of the State of North Carolina, in which
all able-bodied men are called upon to work the roads of the State,
and put them in good shape before the coming on of the bad
weather of winter, therefore we hereby recommend and urge, that
every* man in > s tokes county, and every boy of workable age, i
should bear in mind the proclamation of the Governor, and
furthermore we hereby make proclamation and appoint the two'
days as above-mentioned to be observed in our county as GOOD
ROAD DAYS, on which days we request that every good citizen
of all ages, young and old, high, low, rich or poor, of all conditions
and all colors, d> tArogiri honest days' work on the public roads
of the county. At the same time we urge that every supervisor, j
eyery overseer, every private citizen and all do this duty, We
suggest that the magistrates, who are the conservators of the peace
and the safety of our people, and the ministers of the gospel who'
hold in charge the spiritual uplift of our citizens and our county, ]
should do their part in every way possible. Let us all in response
to the appeal of our Governor, and after the example set by the
Governors of other States, do our duty.
Good roads are necessary to the progress of our county, and to
the material well being of every man, woman and child of the
county. Our farmers have raised a large and fine crop of tobacco,
and during the next few months must sell it at the various
markets, and it will be a saving of thousands of dollars, as well
as of immense comfort and convenience to them to be able to
market the crop over good roads.

tion Issued.

Commissioners here Monday it
was decided to issue six per
cent, road bonds for Sauratown,
