NEW HOPE

New Hope, March 16-After a few
weeks of silence, will come with a
few words again. l am grateful for
inquiries about me from some noted
| writers and readers. One an old
| teacher, Mrs. M. E. Britton, now of
Raleigh, N. c. l was real glad to
| know of your whereabouts, Mrs.
Britton, you are an old writer to our
paper (The Union Times), and why
| not come again with your very in
Seresting letters. l am sure all Of
your old pupils at Rocky Creek
would be delighted to read your let
ters, and too, would add much to the
columns for the readers. Mrs.
Britain used to ask on bad rainy
morning, when at breakfast, if the
carriage was going to run today,
meaning the two-horse wagon.
Allow me to say while writing on
the school days, that learned more
while | went to Mrs. Britton than all
my other school days combined.
Am glad to read the nice letters
of brother Vox, would like for him
and brother Telephone to tell us how
long they have used these assumed
names. | know the ages of the
other scribes.
The plows are now running around
US right dead ahead this pretty
March weather.
We are having quite lot of bad
colds or grippe, in our community
at this time. This is general COM
plant about this time every wear.
The bond issue is the most talked OF
among we farmers, if all other COM
munities was as ours is on the ques-
tion, it would carry by large ma
Jortly. OF course we have some few
who are against them, but we hope
to win them over before the 9th.
have heard it said that if W.,
don't vote the bonds, that a law will
be passed to make us pay a $500
road tax, and $3.50 road tax.
had rather vote for the bond every
time, which l am going to do. / am
satisfied its the thing, all that money
coming into our county from the
North makes that much more for our
banks, and make our county that
much richer. 1t will give a lot of
farmers a big chance to make sew
eral hundred dollars after laying by
time, for that's the time the work
will begin, so as not to hinder the
farming interests.
The farmers have talked, askeo,
and have wanted good roads all their
lives, now they have the chance, also
the means by which they can have
them. | am sure they will consider
well, and nearly all of them will vote
for good roads. The mill people are
highly in favor of the bonds. l am
too, when l can get something for
nothing, l am sure to take it, and
this, my friends, is exactly what this
means.
