Bridger of Bla denboro is living up to his promise to the Times and the people of the Chinquapin area that the road from Chinquapin to the Onslow County line via Lyman and Fountains Store would be the next Federal Aid Road built in this division. ' According to a story in Wednes day's News St Obcerver the con tract will be let, or at least bids re ceived for the road on Sept. 30. The bid calls for grading, sur facing and structures of 8.4 miles from a point approximately 400 feet from N. C. 41 East on cna- quapin-Lyman-Fountain road to the Onslow County line. ..... With the Completion of this link there will be a hard surfaced road from Wallace to Jacksonville as it is already paved from the Onslow County line to Jacksonville. At a later date something Is ex pected to be done about straight ening the approach and crossing of North East River at Chinquapin. For this reason the present cor.' tract does not call for the paving to start at the river bridge. BOB GRADT sAys. THANKS MR. BRIDGES L ; When I talked with you the other night about the Chlnquapin-Lyman Fountain Store road and you told me action was coming soon I be lieved you meant it and I see from Wednesday's N. & O. that the bid will be open this month. The peo ple of this section are grateful for your interest and efforts. a Now, Mr..

MUSING So live, that when thy summons comes to Join The . innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry- slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, ap proach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and 'lies down to pleasant dreams.
