DANBURY REPORT'S! Volume LI. WINSTON=SALEM TO ROANOKE THROUGH HEART OF STOKES Entire Road Now On Highway Maps of Virginia and North Carolina-First 16 Miles of Road Already Hard-Surfaced With 12 Miles More Authorized and Ready To Let To Contract. A letter received here yes terday from Thos. J. George, of Stuart, Va., confirms the re port that the highway leading from Stu.irt to the Stokes line, near Campbell, has been placed on the State highway map of , Virginia. Mr. George and Messrs. W. L. Joyce and J. H- Clark attended a recent meet of the Virginia highway j commission in Richmond and J m:.-: ceded in getting this road put -m the map for early con struction. This nine-mile stretch of nighway between Stuart and the Stokes line is a very impor tant road, being an unimproved link in the proposed national highway from Winston-Salam to Roanoke, Va., the route of which passes right through the heart of Stokes county. It will be recalled that about a year since a very large delega tion of Winston-Salem and Stokes county citizens visited Stuart in the interest of getting this same stretch of road built, and now that is seems assured, and is to be built by the State instead of the county, it will hodoubt be an incentive to those interested to resume their ef forts to get the highway all the way through to Roanoke- The first sixteen miles of this Winston-Salem - Roanoke highway is already hard-su.'- faced, from Winston-Salem to the Stokes line at Fulp, while twelve miles more of it has been authorized for hard-surface by the State, this being the sec tic n from Danbury to the For syth line . The section from Danbury to the Virginia line is being completed now and will be a fine soil road. The entire road is now on the highway maps of the two States and a greater part of it has already been built or is now under con st uction. This highway is a very im portant one to the cities of Winston-Salem and Roanoke, T and, of course, will be of untold benefit to the territory lying be tween. The road will nodoubt eventually be hard-surfaced ali /he way.

Cam eron Morrison and Mrs. Sara Ecker Watts widow of Geo. W. Watts, Durham millionaire financier, were married here this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Watts mansion on South Duke street.

The bride, one of the weal thiest women in North Caro- lina, is a native of Syracuse, N. Y-, and was married to the wealthy Durham capitalist in that city on Oct. 25 1917. Some years ago she was a trained nurse but had given up that profession prior to her mar riage to Mr. Watts. Since taking up her residence in Durham, Mrs. Watts has made many friends and was the center of social activities The Watts mansion on Morehead Hill is one of the most beauti- ful estates in this section. Hero it is predicted the Governor and his bride will spend the greater part of their time upon their return from their wedding trip. Gov. Morrison had been a widower since 1920. his wife having died during his guberna torial campaign. His daughter and his sister have made the Governor's mansion in Raleigh their home since the inaugura tion in January, 1921, though the Governor has spent much of his summers in the western part of the State.
