Assured By Friends Of their

that the reports being circulated to

Patrick Wants Road
Into Stokes County
: From the Stuart (Va.) Enterprise. J
A determined effort is being madi
• by North Carolina, and especially by
• our neighbor county of Stokes, to get
la permanent road connection be
tween Stokes and Patrick counties,
and through them with the populous
sections of both States, which could
. be reached with such a road.
I On our side of the line, the build
ing of a road from Stuart to the
, Stokes line near Mr. Bill Abe Mar
, tin's, a distance of about eight and a
. half miles, will eventually give us
, connecton not only with North Curo
r Una's splendid road system, but also
by means of the State road now being
. built to Cruise's Store, thence oy \ ro
- ject No. 23, which the State will soon
begin, on byway of Woolwine and
Floyd to Roanoke, the Valley of Vir
ginia and Washington City.
The statement comes from Stokes
county on high authority that if we
will build a road to the State line
, they will connect with us, thus giving
» Patrick and Stuart an immediate out
i let into North Carolina which will be
of untold advantage to us.
