Much Opposition To Bond

Much Interest Shown
In Revival Meetings.
Walnut Cove. June 22. Crowds
are in attendance at the revival i
meetings being conducted at the |
Baptist church this week by:
Evangelist J. W. Ham. Rev. I
Ham is a fluent speaker and his |
sermons are very impressive, j
Great good wilt no result'
from his earnest efforts in his
meeting here.
Owing to considerable opposi
tion to the proposed bond issue for
schools involving an expenditure
of s4,(Hilt to be used in enlarging
ar.d improving the present build
ing a move is on foot to decrease
the amount to be voted to a
maximum of $2,000. Those who
oppose the issue declare that for
building purposes the state and
county is supposed to furnish a
part, of the funds and an effort
towards this end will be made at
the next meeting of the Board
of Education. Many believe that
with the assurance from the
state and county of a part of the
needed funds that it will be an
easy matter to carry the election
in favor of the bond issue. As
the matter now stands it is con
ceded by all that the issue will be
defeated by quite a large major
ity.
A new enterprise in the form
of a laundry has been installed in
the leaf house erected here last
winter. This is a long felt neces
sity here and will in all probabil
ity prove a successful venture
for the promoters. It is a new
feature and while the plant is
small, consisting mainly of a
smoke-stack, a gasoline engine
and a washing machine, it will be
enlarged from time to time to
meet the demand of its patrons.
The high school committee have
received more than fifty applica
tions for positions in the Walnut
Cove high s:hool for the coming
session. The applicants are from
practically every section of the
the state and are significant of the
fact that Walnut Cove and the
splendid school located here are
widely known. The election of
teachers has not yet been held
but will be called some time in
july.
'The Rabbit Foot Minstrels,"
a traveling tent show, exhibited
here Saturday night to a crowded
house. Nothing better demon
strates the fact that there is no
stringency in financial affairs
than the liberality with which
the folks donate for the unkeep
of the show man and the susten
enance of a dancing coon.
An examination for rural de
livery carriers will be conducted
at the postoffice here Saturday to
fill the vacancy on the route
formerly held by Mr. C. 11.
Marshall. It is learned that
there "are several applicants from
different sections of the county.
On Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock services will be held at
the Junior Hall by the Primitive
Baptists. It is not known who
will conduct the services but it is
probable that Elders J. A. Fagg,
S, H. Reid and others will be
present.
A new store building which is
to be a modern brick structure
is being erected on Main street,
adjoining the Stokes Grocery
Co. When completed the build
ing will be occupied by Mr. Paul
Fulton who will continue to
I handle the same line of high
! class groceries which he is now
! carrying. It has not been learn
ed who will occupy the building
j where Mr. Fulton is now located.
A force of hands with a modern
well-drilling equipment are en-'
' gaged this week in drilling
a well on the school house
grounds. The well will possibly
be sunk to a depth of about two
hundred feet and will furnish an
abundance of pure water.
Among those who attended
! the commissioners meeting at
Dan bury Monday were Messrs.
'R. A. Hedgecock, T. J. Coving

-52,500 ROAD BONES
Remainder Of SI3.UIhi Issue To Be
Sold-Status Of the Work
In the Township.
. The Dan bury Township High
way Commission, composed of
L. J. Young, chairman: D. S.
Priddv and John H. Neal. was in
session here Monday to complete
some final details looking to the
sale of the remaining $2,500 of
the bonds, which is expected to
be effected m a few days. It is
not known just how much money
will be available for the roads
after the bonds are sold, as
hundreds of dollars of bills are in
hand for work or supplies con
tracted for by the old board.
Neither is it known where the
remainder of the money will be
spent. Mr. L. J. Young has
spent a few days recently with
several hands fixing some had
places on the Buck Island road,
and has ordered some piping to
put in several drains where it
has been difficult for vehicles to
cross. The cost of the work so
far outside of the piping, Mr.
Young says, amounts to about
| $27.00. This is all of the $13,000
• bond money which has been
spent on the road west of the
! Presbyterian church in Danbury,'
.as the work which was done
j through the town of Danbury to
I Dr. McCanless' meadows was
1 paid for by private citizens of
i Danbury-practically all by Drs.
! McCanless. East of Danbury
j about a mile of road has been
I built, probably at a cost of $1,500
' to $2,500.
