C. THE WAY OF THE WORLD Bunch Of Farmers Meet and Discuss Conditions. A bunch of farmers gathered in front of the Acme Hardware Company yesterday and it was our privilege to listen to them- Vance county has signed the marketing contract," said one of the bunch, "and wouldn't, it be something if Granville: does not sign and the Vance farmers become dissatisfied and bring all of tobacco to Oxford?" "Yes." said one ox the farmers, "would it not be something Jf Granville failed to sign up and all of the Granville county farmers take their tobacco to Henderson." OAK GROVES ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. D.

D. Wilson and daughter, of Sfler spent the week end here with Mrs. Wilson's mother. They made the trip in automobile. We are pleased to announce Mr.

Walker Woody has recovered from a spell of pneumonia. The outlook for wheat in this section is vey good. Mr- Edward Jenkin's crop is very promising. The farmers in this section are preparing for better and more food stuff. They say they don't care to be fed from the northern and western markets any.

longer. Mr. Elijah Satterwhite has purchased a fine horse and buggy. He say that as everything is getting cheaper now is the time to get married, so-gtrls, when he you may know he is for sale, but you will have to do the cooking: Monday morning engineers 01 tne.i i Stafce tiignwa Department began the survey of the road from Oxford to the Virginia line, preparatory to the letting of contracts for the construction of a hard surfaced road over this part of the State Highway System- This work is being done under the provisions of the contract recently made between the State and the County- It is expected that contracts for the construction of a portion of this road can be. let ih about thirty days and thereafter active work will begin at the corporate limits of Oxford, and the road be carried to the Virginia line.

Under the State Road Law passed at the recent session of the legislature the following roads are parts of the State Highway System: From Oxford to Virginia line. From Oxford by Stem to Durham County line. From Oxford by Berea to Person County line. And the new road from Oxford to Vance County line. The purpose of the State Road Law is to connect all county seats and principal towns with each other by roads built, controlled and main-fa inpd bv the State.

The roads a- bove named as included in the system give Granville the mileage it is at present entitled to. It is expected that the State will take these roads over and maintain them in the near future. The road from the Virginia line through Oxford to Durham County is classed as a grade A road, that is as a road which should be hard surface. The first link to be built just as soon as the State can get to it in the development of its system throughout the whole State. The present work is being done under a contract with the State under the terms of which the County provides the money, and this money is repaid by the State not later than four years from the present time-This is done in order to get to road constructed without delay.

It is expected that a. part of this road will be built this year, and it is hoped to complete it in 1922.. It is gratifying to nole the spirit of co-operation being; exhibited by the people along the route of the road. In some instances it will be necessary to relocate the road, and practically all. the land owners are signing agreements to give the right of way and necessary soil for purpose.

In this work the Board of County Commissioners and the Road Commissioners are working i and there is a general spirit of unanimity and approval of this work by the citizens of the County. It is felt that great ben, fits will result to the county as a whole from the building of this road. It means that the principal North and South route through the State will pass through Granville County, and that within a few years the County will be connected with all sections of the country by hard surfaced highways.
