proves Each Shining Hour
Its Latest Break.

ITO demonstrate to what straits In,
county has been brought by exhaus
tion of funds and an enormous taA
coming on, we want TO cite the Eich,
lor road improvement begun over q
year ago. The Improvement Is five
miles long aud three-quarters of a
mile remains unfinished and contrac-
tors held up for want OF funds.
"The Wilson pike, likewise begun
more than year ago, two miles IN
length, has one-half mile unfinished
for the same cause.
1.-THE money that should have built
these improvements and paid fer other
county work has gone elsewhere, and
II isup to the people TO say whether
the like conditions are to be endorsed
and encouraged or whether they will,
with an emphatic voice, call halt to
such practices and insure better SER
vice in the future. Mercer County
