WANTS TO JOIN WITH US FOR NEW
COUNTY.

Within a few days Thomasvil1e ane
High Point will be connected by one
of the prettiest sand clay roads in the
State. The force that has been at work
for several weeks has rushed the work
until only small part remains to be
finished The new route will shorten
the route between the two towns about
three-fourths of mile and eliminate
several steep grades.
Those who fought for the new county
on two occasions past are hopeful that
the two roads connecting High Point
and Townsville will revive the question
with stronger force than ever and
that at the next session of the Legls-
lature the county will be formed Nfsh
High Point as the county seat.
At recent meeting of the board of
road commissioners system of roads
to be built throughout the county was
agreed upon. Instead of the farmers
kicking the bond issue, as they did when
the passing of the bill was made known,
now at nearly every meeting of the
board a committee from some section
will go before the board and insist that
the work be started in their neighbor
hood at once. -Davidsonian.
