And you too, girls, you have taken issue with many a bard headed man on the same topics havn't you? And the funny part is youdid not get any where in the discussion.

The petitioners expressed them selves as being entirely in favor of roads being constructed in other part of the county but merely wish ed to express the opinion that the public would be more benelilted by the completion of the Weeksvilie road than it would by leaving stretches between Elizabeth City and Weeksville in an unfinished condi tion.
