OUR ADVANTAGES.
We Challenge Any Town In This
Or Any Other State t Show
Better Advantages Than Wel
don Can Boast of. A Chamber
ol Commerce Should be Organ
ized At Once.
Editor Roanoke News:
Dear Mr. Editor: I have noted
with much interest an article in the
Roanoke News heuded "Much
Needed." Further reading dis
closed the purpose of the writer,
A Chamber of Commerce is a
much needed organization in any
community of the size and aspira
tions of a town like Weldon. The
citizens who met in the office of
Mr. Stainback and discussed this
measure are to be commended. Per
sonally, I am in favor of such an
organization as a good live Cham
ber of Commerce. We challenge
any town in this or any other State
to show belter advantages than
Weldon can boast of. Wiih two
first-class railroads and branch lines
running into our town; situated at
the headwaters of one of the best
rivers for water power in the State;
upwards of fifteen mails daily; good
water; good health; fine type of
citizens these and many more ad
vantages, make Weldon one of the
most desirable towns in North
Carolina, in which to live, and for
the establishing of manufacturing
and commercial enterprises. But
this is not known as extensively
as it should. And for this reason,
we need a good live organization
that will put Weldon on the map,
so that people and enterprising or
ganizations may come to know of
us from a distance as we know
ourselves at home. Sometime
ago, your paper published a
most creditable copy of its week
ly issue; this has done good and
will continue to do good. What
we need is an organization big
enough and in spirit co-operative
enough to back up all that you and
all other public spirited men and
women of our community are de
sirous of bringing to pass. No
better organization can come into
being than a Chamber of Com
merce in the town of Weldon com
posed of every citizen men and
women and business firms who
shall be a booster for better busi
ness and more of it, and the gen
eral economic and moral wellare
of the people. We have noted
with interest the coming of some
new business firms into our town.
Let the glad hand of welcome be
extended to all such. We hail with
delight the erection of new homes
in town. A good Chamber of Com
merce can and will do much 10
bring a good class of citizens to lill
every new home that enterprising
citizens may erect. I sincerely
urge I tie necessity lor a Chamber
of Commerce for Weldon, and
wish for its speedy realization ano
success.
Very truly yours,
L. D. Hayman.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORI A
COMMUNICATION.
Do Not Make the Mistake and
Leave the Parmer Out.
Mr. Editor :
1 am glad to see ihe merchants
and business men of Weldon ma
king an effort to establish a Cham
ber of Commerce, I hope the
mistake will not be made by leaving
out the fanner for afier all he is
the biggesi business man; for when
ii comes right down to real pro
duction, makes the general line of
city business pale in comparison.
While they are discussing civic
beauty, city streets and other things
for the benefit of the city within
the city limits, let ihem formulate
plans to get behind the'farmer and
help him double his produciion,
More business makes more profits.
Could there be any greater expan
sion in a farming district, than the
doubling of the farm produciion?
This is essentially a farming dis
trict, for outside of the Shaw man
ufacturing interests, the Weldon
Lumber Company and the Dixon
Millwork and Lumber Company
whence comes our support but
from the farmer. Lei Ihe doctor,
the lawyer, Ihe merchant and rep
resentative of every line of busi
ness and professional endeavor in
Weldon, invite and insist that the
leading farmers of this section be
come active members and join
hands with them in making a great
er Weldon I am now speaking
of the small farmer who tills from
forty to a hundred and sixty acres
of land, ii is of prime importance
that ihe business men should co
operate in the closet manner with
the farmers The farmer has two
problems produciion and distri
bution. He is hampered in both
by lack of proper facilities. The
merchant can help him in both.

Christian Advocate, passed through
the town of Weldon, and was
asked to favor it's people wiih one
of his popular lectures of that day,
which he granted, and gave us the
one entitled "The Old, and the
New." The lecture was fine,
rich, humorous, pathetic, holding
closely his large audience through
out, evoking ai times great levity.

entertaining and useful man in his
day and gi -in'ration.
The tilK of this sketch is a very
suggestive one, meaning literally
beginning and ending and in rumi
nating over things in general, a
wide scope of thought surges
through ones brain, when the vi
cissitudes of a life of seventy years
lie behind to contemplate, the que
ry naturally arises, "Have i lived
in vain."
It is only when a piece of work
is finished, that we may truly com
ment upon it adversely or other
wise, and since "Life is what we
make it," it is a very great reflec
tion upon our intelligence, if we
fail 10 "make our calling and elec
tion sure."
