lUadt.
Mr. Editor;— /
I have been requested by a
friend to touch up our people
on the subject of good roads
If there is a county near and
dear to my heart it is Yadkin%
She has honored me in days
past amd gone, and if there be
any desire in my heart it is to
see in the front ranks of her
sister counties. I want to urge
her to keep pace with those
counties which border on her.
We have the natural soil,
all that we need to make her
what she should, and ought to
be, out side of her churches
atul school houses, is good
roads.
Our poor farmers have felt
the need of this during the
past winter.
Give them good roads in or
der to market their produce
without killing their horses
and mules to do it
Nature has done all that
she could for her in the way
of soil, the people must do
the rest.
Look at the other counties
Iredell, Wilkes, Forsyth and
see what they are doing along
this line. This should awak
en us to a sense of our duty
in regard to tiie matter. j
Take the post winter oar
farniers not make a trip to i
Winston with their tobacco'
and grain in less than three
and sometimes four days and
their poor horses and mules
damaged to a great extent, |
I don’t think there is a far- j
mer in Yadkin county who
would refuse to vote a reason
able tax to better the condi
tion of om roads. This is an
important matter and the
sooner the fanners of the
county are awak eued to the
situation the better. One
trip to Winston would damage
their stock more than double
their road tax. Have this
question submitted to the peo
ple, I am sure they will act
promptly and will vote the
tax to give her good roads.
Shall poor old Yadkin be be
hind in all things? Let us
say by our votes no! I believe
it a sin for the people of the
county to allow their poor
dumb brutes to suffer on ac
count of their neglect of duty.
I believe God Almighty will
hold us responsible aloug this
line as well as others.

An Aged Couple
Elkin N. C.—In the north
ern part of Surry county there
is a wonderful old married
couple. The husband was 92
years of age March 21 and his
wife was 92 April 21.
They live alone in a little
home in the mountains doing
their own housework and farm
ing. The man ploughs with
as much vigor as a man of fifty
while his wife assists in the
field. One looking at Robert
Billings and his good wife
Mary Ann, would never think
that they have almost reached
the century mark. Both have
plenty of hair on their heads
and it is not very gray. Mr,
Billings and his w}fe have re
ceived their second sight anc
read well without glasses.
New Bridge Across Yadkii
There was a joint meeting
I of county commisouers o
| Suary and Yadkin counties
j held here last Tuesday* Th<
' object of the joint session was
; to consider the matter of build
ing a bridge across the Yad
. kin river here between th<
two. While the bridge her*
. here has not been condemned
I not is it even regarded as un
j safe, but it is a question oi
| only a few years aatill it will
be unsafe. For this reason
the joint session was held here
last Tuesday. The bridge is
t owned jointly by the twe
counties, and if a new bridge
j is built it must be built by the
two counties jointly, and each
county would pay in propor
tion to the nnmber of polls.
I This would make it nccestsacy
for Surry to pay about two
[thirds of the of building the
bridge, and Yadkin one-third*
There were prrsent at the
meeting Messers Sparger,
Snow and Gough of the Surry
board and Messers Brown,
Cook, Smitherman of the Yad
kiu board. No definate action
was taken. The Surry board
favored building the bridge;
the Yadkin board asked* till
the first Monday in June to
consider the matter,—Elkin

Money Cant prove His
Assertions
Once more J, C. Money
rises up in his dreams snorts
around, writes about one and
a half columns in the Herald,
and says nothing after all
calculated to enlighten the
people. He says in part:
“They cannot prove whereof
they speak,’* when the truth
of the matter is we are not try
ing to prove anything; it is he
that is trying in vain to prove
his sayings; we have offered
onr assistance; we have defied
him to prove what he has said;
so far he has refused; he can
not; he dosn’t want to; there is
many other things he says
in his last letter that need no
explanation whatever; they
are absurd. In closing his re
marks he says:
-In clouing our remarks we only
wish to add tnat we are trying to
give the common honest county
people the infoimation that they
are desiring and cannot obtain m
any other way."
You see what he says, now
unless he proves to his good
people that his assertions are
true, he must go down in his
tory as a fake and a cowal'd.
W e defy you to prove them
once more and for all lime.
We do not feel it our .duty
to continue our remarks with
any one that has no regard
whatever for truth or princi
pal.
However much people may
differ in their views as to the
political and intellectual qual
ifications ot the various aspir
ants for our county offices it is
a matter of congratulation
that all the leading candidates
i are men of high character,
J sympahetic with everything
that makes for human good,
sincere in tfieir conviction and
patriotic to the core. All this
nearly everyone will cheerful
ly admit, And it means a
good deal, for it means that
the county will not tolerate
candidates of negative charac
. ter and low ideals, but insists
[ on men who in their life reflect
on high aims and true spirit

We the Grand Jurors beg
leave to »port the following:
We have finished up the
business given ns in charge.
Many witnesses called and
’ | failed to answer and necessar
‘ ily we could not act on several
■; bills for want of evidence* we
5; visited the county home in a
- body and found the inmates
Swell cared for except their
| using tobacco, we find It to be
J a very inferior grade and rec
: omend a better grade of tobac
co.
We reccomend that the log
i buildings must be repaired at
once and we also reccomend
j that there ba screeus put to all
the doors and windows in the
new building, also we recom
end that the graveyard be cle
aned off. '
We recomeud that all the
metal roofing fnust be painted,
j We recomend that the farm
j be put in a better state of cul
tivation
We visited the jail in a body
and found it in good condition.
We also visited the Cleric’s
and Register’s office and found
them in good condition Books
well kept.
We also recomend that hat j

jury room for their conven

' Just So,
It is a well settled fact that a
! native of any towtftaay work bis i
best under certain conditions, yet
make a disiiual failure, whiles1
perfect stranger hits the town au^r
does things up to tlflsqtteen’s taste;
Some time ago a party of two or
three Jaf>s came to Greensboro
and opened ah art store—*a hand
some display of vases, antiques,
etc. An anction was held every
afternoon and evening, the roomsj
being crowded, and what these
more or less distinguished men
did for the people of this com
munity was quite enough, with
some to spare<. Ladies were pres
ent in large numbers. One illus
tration indicates the way people
can be fooled. A pair of vases ex
actly like those sold regularly at
$30 brought $08. Everything was
gobbled up along the same lines.
Then, having swept the territory
clean, the gentlemen departed fov
other dimes. And us soon as
this experieuee is forgotten otheiB
will come along and turn the same
trick.—Greensboro Record.
Take Time To Look Around
By the way, the writer is a great
believer in steady work every
working day, but ho is not such a
stickler for the ‘* sun tiil sun" day
as some It is very seldom indeed
that bur teams are in the field
more than 10 hours per day, and
the nine-hour day comes frequent
ly at ‘‘Bunny Home." Then there
is a couple of hours per day that
can be devoted to the livestock
and perhaps some time used just
for looking around, studying how
this or that piece of work may be
more thoroughly done at less ex
pense for labor. Indeed, I know
that some of the best paying farm
work I have ever done were those
hours when I was sitting on the
front ppareh, my feet up on the
railing, and doing just nothing
but smoaking my old briar pipe
and thinking. Thinking is mighty
good business to mix with farming
anyway, and thinking before hand
beats thinking behind- hand.-^ A

Watch out for lice and mites
ion the old hens and little
■ chick s. Examine them close

any are found* thorougely riis
; infect or whitewash their sleep
ing quarters and either use
some insect powders, grease or
* dip on both old and young
■ chicks* after the young ones

as neither old nor young

do well when they are infected
with insects. As soon as the
weather is warm enough the
grown fowls should be dipped
during the middle of a pretty
warm day- in a solution of 75
to 100 part water (to which
has been added a small amount
of Pearline or washing powders
of some kind) to one part Creso
or some other good dip. Two
men can dip 500 fowls in one
half day. The work will be
thoroughly and and all injects
as well as nits will be killed.

Amusement For The Young
Young people must have fun
and amusement. It is natui
al to them and wherever that
feeling is laking something is
amiss. Instead of seeking to
check that desire it should be
carefully directed that its ex
pression may have best results.
Parents, especially, should see
to it that in the home life ade
quate provision is made for
laughter, fun and good cheer.
It will help to keep the chil
dren at home and bind the
family together. Many a boy
and girl has been forced into
questionable or bad company
because home was not attrac
tive and joyous nor harmless
games tolerated.
