Dirt is being sought in Norfolk. AS

livery stable. The Haley building has
already been moved from Norfolk av-
enue and is now facing Third street.

Norfolk asking their support Tor good
roads, only thirteen have responded.
The committee in charge are disheart-
ened over the proposition and declare
if the people do not respond in the
next week the matter will be given up
entirely. The farmers are now very
busy, but at the same time reports are
coming in that they are heartily in
favor of the good roads and will do
whatever they can to aid the Norfolk
business men in this proposition, but
more financial aid is necessary from
the business men here to carry on the
good roads campaign, a movement
which nearly every city of this size is
now carrying on. 1t is something
which would benefit Norfolk more
than any other proposition at this
time, the committee feels. Unless
