Citizens OF WAYNE
VOTE FOR BONDS
GREAT ISSUE TO BE SETTLED BY
BALLOT ON FRIDAY OF NEWT
WEEK.


Wayne county citizens win me- a
grave mistake II they fail to vote ~
the big bond issue on March 10.
About the only objection we havo
heard is the statement that an a1IeaoR
gang" at Wayne will gobbIe the nan
ey. Without investigating the chornn
or arguing the point we cali yoru a.
tention to the fact that this bond issue
must be expended as directed by State
and u. s. Government onicials and
there viii be no chance for local people
to squander or gobDle the money, even
II they SO desire II they are gully 81
this sort Of thing it is with the fulag
under the old system, where nol11er
State nor government has superviaion-
Here is the first chance yeu have ever
had TO take all road funds out Of Issal
hands The man who makes the eon-
plaint above referred to is therefore
the first man who should vote for Ne
proposition. In any event, the best ~
suits are always secured where thers
is State and National supervision. 50
II you want roads and want the money
spent right and honestly, ge to NE
polls ard vote for this issue. You nay
be assured that no local CRATER VIII
vote Tor II.
Others say they are afraid the roadg
will not be built alongside their farrns.
This may be true Of farms locafea n
obscure places but the good roads w1n
reach as near as you can yeasonably
expect and SO near that you win ~ 4
hundred times better or than under
present conditions. II is narrow visw
that will cause man 80 situafed 20
make this mistake. Two million doIlars
will cover the county with main roads
and the connecting roads would follow
a little later Wayne gets s133.O0o this
year from the corporations and rail-
roads alone. and the other taxes rnn
the total well above 5000, 900. For oom-
parison we mention that Iawrence- 90.
KY. collects only little over $4,000
year from all sources for all county
purposes. So you can see how wen ahls
Wayne is to take care OF million dol
lar bond issue, especially when she re-
ceives another million along with Il
that she can not get in any other way
Citizens of Wayne wake up to your
opportunity. 1t is the greatest ever
presented. The money can not be ssol-
en-, grated, nor wasted.

Georgetown. Dec. 12.-There will be
plenty of turkeys with which to grace
the Christmas dinner table IN this sec
ton of Sussex county, Judging by the
large hocks that may be seen during
davis drive in the rural sections. Two
davs before Thanksgiving they were
retaiIed about the streets OF the town
for 80 cents the pound, live weight, but
owing to the size of many of them, trouble
was experienced in selling even at that
price.
Possibly many of the people who IN
normal times would have had a large
turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner
thought they would be able to place
their money to a better advantage than
spending so much for one meal. As
consequence, the usual rush was not
made for them and people refused to
give So and ST for one fowl.
If the farmers hope to get rid of their
surplus stock it is stated that from lndI-
cations they may have TO dispose of
them less than 80 cents the pound. Last
wear they could be bought for y and
2S cents.
Geese, it is believed, will be selling
for 20 cents per pound before the Christ
mas holidays are over. Less than tour
weeks ago they were selling IN some
sections for so cents, but now can be
bought for % cents.
