ALL aboard for Snow Hill-through
one of the most fertile farming sec
tions in the world! Goldsboro must
have the road to Snow Hill It is
going somewhere The people down
there are in earnest about it; the fur
ther development of that fine coun-

secure this road, and, what is more,
we cannot afford for it to go from
Snow Hill to some other point, there

THIS eastern section of Nortl
Carolina is beyond all question tn
most desirable portion of the Stat
for home And North Carolina i
the most desirable State in the Uniol
for a home. She has all that coult
be reasonably required as to soil
climate, health, morals, education
and refinement. The recent storm
which deluged the best lands of othe

laws are being enforced firmly, br
