ROAD WORK

The read leading from Rut-
ledge by the Shiloh section to
Jefferson City is being rocked.
Work began at Rutledge and it
is stated that the first district
has enough pike funds to con-
struct the ROAD to the top of
Richland knobs and perhaps fur
tier. This is che of the most
important roads on the south of
Clinch mountain and it will mean
much to the convenience of the
people living south Of Richland.
The road leads to the Holston
river bridge and is graded to
that point.

day with four conversions and
nine additions to the church.
The high school here is now
in operation with EX-Supt. Con-
dry and his wife in charge; and
with splendid attendance. The
enrolment at this early date is
already larger than it was for
last years entire term. Although
we have practically no school
building and it seems that it may
be sometime before we can get
one, never the less, the people
here are determined to have a
school and are in hearty coop
Grafton with the teachers in max
ing the very best possible out
of the present conditions. A new
modern school building will come
in the course Of time. No other
community in the county needs
one any worse than we do nor
will community in the county
give any more to get one than
will we.

To All Interested In Prohibition In
Our Land,


AS president of Cecil County W. C.
T. U. l call upon all members of this
organization, as we'll as friends of
temperance, which must include all
Christians and many others, to
IMMEDIATELY send to our Presi-
dent, Woodrow Wilson, telegraphic
night letter, similar to the following
if not in same words, so expressed as
to convey the same thought as we
feel that our President should know
that the people Of the Nation are
with him in every way to conserve
the manhood and resources of the
country.
May ask that all ministers in the
county announce this request from
their pulpits and everyone interested
in Prohibition use every effort to
have those in their vicinity send off
these messages. The cost of a night
letter I am told is rs cents for SO
words and you can spend rs cents in
no better way or in one that will
bring greater returns.
Night letter as follows:
For Gods sake, for Humanity's
sake, for the Nations welfare, I
earnestly and urgently appeal to you
to use your influence to prohibit,
during the war at least, the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors throughout the Nation,
which traffic causes waste OF more
than two billion dollars yearly and
is destroying soul, mind and body of
drinker.
If the Capital dry, why not the
Nation?"
With the urgent request that
every Cecil Countian interested in
this great reform may measure up at
this time, and do so AT ONCE, l
BERTHA M. TYSON,
President Cecil County w. C. T. U.
