Emacademized roads, and Rockingham
will vote on May 18th to Issue 100000
In bonds to macadenlize one hundred
and fifty-eight miles OF her roads. The
campaign is warming UP and It Is quite
probable that the proposition will carry
Ivy a large majority. 3;fs.i siSs
No mean factor in accomplishing this
end Will be the active and enthusiastic
support given it by the energetic and
progressive Governor OF the State, Gov
