The Merchants Association of Scotland Neck held a special called meeting Friday night and took some actions that we hope will be of much good to the town. The first business considered was to take some action in regard to the bad piece of road known as the creek leading from Roseneath township to town. As is well known to those who have tried to travel this road it is just about impassable and the people of Roseneath township are unable to bring their produce to market. A committee composed of Messrs. G.

Hoffman and R. C. Josey was appointed to confer with the road superintendents, Messrs. I. H.

Smith, of Scotland Neck township, and R.H. White, of Palmyra township, as this road is the dividing line between the two townships and is supported by them jointly. These men mat Monday and went over the road, but we have been unable to learn as to what decision they reached as to how and what to do wh the road. We voice the sentiment of all the people when we say it ought to be made passable, and that as soon as possible. The merchants also voted to circulate a petition and then send it to Congressman Claude Kitchin asking the department for better postofnee facilities.

This is to be done immediately. The secretary of the association was instructed to write the railroad officials and ask them to hurry the improvements promised at the depot. All together now and we are going to see some improvements. Broke his Collar Bone. While out after a bucket of water Wednesday night of last week, Mr.
