Notices are posted in a largo
number of precincts in the coun
ty calling for meetings to vote
for or against a special tax for
laying rock roads, and it is said
that the sentiment is very strong
in those road districts where
citizens have travelled over the
work which was accomplished
last Summer and Fall.
The two Hillsboro districts
will vote the tax without any op
position, so the wise ones say,
and next year will see several
miles more of macadam laid.
If Cornelius shall vote a tax,
ami Forest drove as well, the
gap between the county seat and
the pollngu city will be filled and
we shall have a fine thorough
fare U'tween the two places.
This will knefit many hundreds

of the county, and give Gales

Three or lour years of special
