While we areall proud of our wonderful pro gress and present attainments, we can no longer ignore - the fact that until we go to build ing roads we have reached the Achme of our glory. Enough has been said from timet to time upon the subject, and nothing has come of it ' Peo ple are going on the" same old way, and will continue ; to do so "until some of our leading enterprising citizens take up this matter and bring things t6 pass. ". A distinguished visitor said to this writer some time ago. "you have one of the finest sections, not only in the State, but in the South, but you are at the end of your material progress until you go to build ing good roads through your county. 11 The eyes of the whole State are on us. Our great natural resources, . our "salubrous climate and our fa cilities for schools makes the Wilkesboros and the county with her specjai adaptation to fruit growing and other indus tries, one of the most attractive sections in all this sbuth land. Only one thing now remains to bring to this county, not only capital for investment, but a good class of citizens that will help in our "progress and development. These are stubborn facts that we might just as well f ice for we will have to meev tl em sooner or later, and- we need not dream of a glorious future and a great old county, ih the years to come, for it as not coming. Think of our town with four thousand inhabitants and not a paved street or x a mile of read in the county that can be- traveled with comfort or safety during a long wet season. What is the remedy land hew can we go about this Herculean task? The only feasable plan that is safe and sure is to issue at least $100,000 thirty year bonds, and let the next generation help to pay them; Of course this will in crease taxes but it will '"bring a large increase of population to help pay them, and give us many ! y. ay s to increase ou r earnings, and thus the tax will not be so much after all. It cost on an average of $2000 to build a mile of good macadam road; this $100,000 wilbuiid fifty miles lot roads, enough I to macadamize every road- lead? ing out th eJWii kesbo rds from 7 to ten miles.' "Let this ber done and then you will see this grand old county leap- to th e front and become, one of the leading counties of the State. This is no idle prattle, rbut it can be done. - Let's go tq.work and make soma sentiment , and; all pull-for;thisJ great consuma- tibn. i (This is a, dreaip, .the, writer - had - one - night. last week ) -4 ; 7 -r Dr: W.

The mayor requests all the residents of the town to clean up their premises and look closely after the sanitary con ditions of their homes. As we already hava some cases of fe ver and should do everything possible to prevent any cause for anything like an epidemic. Mr. Mifcchel Welch, t Boomer, while visiting rela tives atPurlear last Saturday, attended a game of base ball -and happened-to a serious and very painful accident by being struck on the side of the head with a ball. His jaw bone was broken at. the angle.. Dr. Tur ner was called and attended to the wound, and had him brought here so as to be able to care for him. Miles Cowles, son of Mrs. W. H. H. Cowles, and Julian Morrison, son of Mr. J. K.Mor rison, left this morning afoot for Wilkesboro. It is the pur pose of thesetwo yourfg fellows to walk from here to Wilkes boro.
