At the last meeting of the Ki- wanis club it was voted upon the recommendation of the directors to make one of the objectives of the club the securing of as much pavement as possible in Hoke county. Although this county has among the besl; sand clay i roads in the state the fact re I'mains that to date Hoke County 28th I has gotten less than one mile of pavement from all the millions that have been spent recently in the state for roads, and it was the unanimous ^ntiment of the directors and cluh members that it is high time Hoke county was going after what is justly hers. A committee of 5 men has been appointed to devise plans for go ing after this pavement, and to invite Mr. Cox of High Point, and road commissioner for this district to address the club at an early date on this subject. There seemed to be a differ ence of opinion as to which road should be paved first,' but it is probable that the majority senti ment favors the completion of leza f'* Hear T.

And that is blame the printer He does his best without our help. * For all we do is stand and yelp, Then cuss, and blame the printer We write our manuscript by pen To read it is beyond our ken. Yet we expect the printer To dope it out and" get it right. We think not of his time or sight; If wrong—we blame the printer. We hold our stuff until the last, Theo^try to rush it through so fast The printer gets snowed under. But still we camp upon bis trail. And prod him on with woeful - tale. Or rant and roar like thunder. He shoots it through, the proof we get— Hell’s bells! the job is not right yet. We chop that proof to splinters.
