Stokes Road That Needs Attention Mount Airy, Jan. -I Kditor Reporter: Your good county has gone to thi> expense of building a very creditable road f;*om near Francisco, by George's Mill, on to Campbell and Sandy Ridge, and to Spencer. I am jover this road quite often driving to Martinsville, Vn„ and I want to say it is a shame to spend the mon I ey building this good road and let it jgo tn the bad as it is going, when ; very little timely work would keep it itt fair shape through the winter. A few good scrapings would put it |in g>od shape before the ruts sink ' too deep. A little sand on the j George's Mill hill would save the I road at this point, and there is a mud hole near Campbell's that should be drained. Yours very truly. W. G. SNYDOR. I many friends.

After expressing their thanks t.> the superintendent for his visit and the int.'rest shown in the county the boards adjourned without taking any action. While in Stokes Supt. Allen visited several s.hools of the county. MORE LAND FOR HANGING ROCK Owner of Stokes Property Adds To His Acreage—De velopment Of Resort May Begin Soon. M. J. Hulsoy, of Tampa, Fla., ! who recently purchased the Hang ing Rock property in Stokes county for the purpose of converting it into a summer resort, last week added to his holding when he purchased a tract of land adjoining the Hanging Rock property.

It is understood that architects are now working on plans for a hotel building and engineers are laying out the various features con templated in the resort development by Mr. Hulsey. From Tax-Payer | Editor Danbury Reporter: I see Ma 1 . W. W. Sanderford has visited the county seat again and i that he comes out in your paper with the usual misleading infornfition. j Please allow me space to assure ! your readers that the TAX COM MITTEE'S baby has developed into a great big husky two listed bov who no longer needs nursing. The three who were up in the court room are old conservative heads that were acting purely in an advisory capacity which explains the small attendance. 1 am told the above baby stuck an old Virginia cigar of a famous brand in hi.-' mouth and informed his advis ors that even their presence was not necessary, for he had already sent those who wished to saddle old Stokes with additonal debt: To the funeral of all their hopes, He had entombed them one by one. Not a word was said, not a tear was shed. As the mournful task was done, Then slowly but sadly he turned them around To seek their silent room. There by the cold hearth stone They woe the midnight gloom. TAX-PAYER.
