rtuj, int. rt.mLE's RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMN XIV. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBEP i I ... Pulling Together For Roads. " A farmer writing; to a Western Kentucky paper about road con ditions makes a sensible plea for community effort toward highway -improvement. In hi3 comity, he giyS( ' instead of tixicg a bad place iu tne road, we simply drive a roiui'i it wherever that is possible. The riii'ht plan, he thinks, would be tor ibe people to get together anil make the necessary repairs. lf the people of a community," he avlds, 4 ; will all turn out to nike a culvert iu a bad place and make the proper drainage of the ap pi caches, or to remove a large border, or take out a stump which has been the bane of the farmer with a load of his farm pro . ducf. that community has the right diml of road improvement idea." Unfortunately , there are too few communities where a sufficiency of public spirit exists to get the peo pie together in that kind of enter prise. The average rural resident will vc cneeriuiiy give oi nis time to help a neighbor raise a bam, or roil the logs off his new grouuil fif.Ii1. or to assist in plow ing his corn, if the neighbor hap peus to be ill and has a crop in the needs, hut it is a hard matter to set him interested in road build in?. It would be a great incen tive to better roads if rural com munities could be induced to de vote a little spare time to the high ways, but it requires a good deal of missionary work to get the pro per degree of enthusiasm aroused, and ' the harvest is great and the laborers are few." There have been instances in Kentucky where excellent results Lave been effected in road build ing through community effort. As a rule, however, communities are singularly patient and listless in sack matters, and what is "every body's business" proves to be "no body's business." - The good roads campaign will have to be taken to cross roads and to the country school houses before there is any general movement for co-operative rehabilitation. 4. 1912. .NUMBER 22 Snipe Hunting. At 11:10 o'clock there arrived at Court Square a youth. He was muddy. He was wet. He was wor ried . He w ore a rubber coat his face was the picture of despair. The frieudliest man he could see v.as the fat policeman on the local police force. He was not surprised much to see a man wet and muddy that night. 'Say, officer." called the young fellow, and the fat policeman loan ed his ear to the youth. The question was not in a whis per exactly, but the voice was low. "Did you ever go snipe hunting!" ltasked. The officer declared he never had but 'lowed he'ed heard tell of such hunting somewhere. "Well, do you know" and the voire was a little more confidential "that I believe them fellers -have Played a trick on me?". His . se riousness was contagious, and ho the face of the policeman was as. still as a bug in a boinet until he grew less serious.- - "We all." continued the appli cant for information and sympathy and advice, "went out here in the country just exactly five mile3, and thoy gave rae a tQW 8act and Pt me in a ditch to wait till they cuie back. That was long about (lark about 7 ' o'clock and I haven't een them vet. And I grayed riirht there, ton. where thev left we till a little whilfc ago." r-. . jn? an outgoing street car to see if tfae street lamps were burning, earne very near missing the car by "stemog to this interesting story. Abe young man, when the officer raced lor the rear end of the car, "e stood and gazed. Then he, too went off. Ai he passed along; however, he as talking to himself; "I won ier if they'll go back to the ditch ana fitl(1 me gone," said he. "Any; y I waited for 'em three hoars; AcuVt blame me." Ex.' WHO?
