the best of that good city, and any
. set of men who can buiUL. arclty such

This meeting sI.GuM result not alone
in good to our town, but should
be of interest to Greensboro, for it.
? " is hoped they will see some of th?--good

city by helping to complete the Highway

RoxborO, Burlington toGreensboro,
saving something like forty
miles ia the distance from Greensboro,
