Will Soon Be Linked Together.
It looks very much as if the Twin
City and High Point will be linked
together in a short time by a well
built macadamized highway, on
!, which there has already been done
considerable work by the counties of
Guilford,. Forsyth and Davidson.
There still remains a stretch Of sew
eral miles across the cid plank road
which has net yet been worked OF
macadarized. Neither Of the above
counties seem to feel that it is its
|, duty to build this section Of the high.
: way. The citizens of Winstcn-Salem
J and High Point, in cooperation with
farmers along the route and the
Forsyth county commissioners, are
) now working to make arrangements
to have this work done. A number
| Of leading citizens of the Twin City
and of High Point are going to make
f private subscriptions to the enter
: prise of from 500 to $3.50 each to
push the work to completion.
