Wants to Sell Your Tobacco.
Farmers always furtn new plans and new resolutions with the New
Year, but none of them amount to anything unless carried out.
Martinsville manufacturers want your tobacco, and will pay yon
good prices for it. Our plug trade was never better, and it will take
double the leaf >f any previous year to supply their trade.
I have sold tobacco for most all the Stokes County farmers and have
most always gotten good prices. T can do so now. and beg that you
bring me your tirst load in the New Year.
Our average for the month of December were only lOst per hun
dred less than during the mouth of November. Would you have
thought that? I look for active market and better prices still on re
mainder of this crop. Farmers, I ask you to consider your best
interest, and give me a trial and I will convince you that ours is your
best market. I have two Stokes County men associated with me in
my warehouse business, who will take pleasure in assisting me and
my able force in making your trips to the Banner, both pleasant and
profitable: W. M. Flynt, of Gideon, and also James Beasley, of

Hoping it will be my good pleasure to serve each aud every one of
you on the balance of the crop.
A prosperous and Happy New Year to each and all.

In Memoriam.
The following is written in
memory of William Kerr Bailey.
Born July 30th, 190.'}, died Janu
ary 2nd, 1905.
New Year's morn dawned bright
and resplendent with the glories
of earth and sky, but oh! how
soon our household was shadowed
with the darkest gloom when, in
less than a moment's time and
without warning, our precious
little 17-months-old baby was from
a laughing, playful and frolick-!
some child thrown into the mostj
violent and intense suffering, in
cident to the overturning of a pan •
of boiling water on himself before!
anyone could reach him to save 1
him. Blame for this can be con-j
sistently attached to no one, fort
either of us who were in the room
would have willingly risked our
very lives to have saved our dar
ling from such awful pain and
suffering and death. The accident
occurred about fifteen minutes
past eight o'clock. He suffered
and lingered on until Monday
night about fifteen minutes past
ten o'clock, when the death Angel
camo to bear his precious BOUI
away to live and be with Jesus
evermore and where no pain nor
sufferings are ever allowed to enter.
Our sky is overcast with shad
ows and darkness when we realize
the fact that our precious little
pet has gone from our earthly em
brace forever. Without his pres
enile and childish laughter our
home indeed seems empty and
cheerless and in our hearts there
is an aching void which never can
be filled. The only consolation
that is vouchsafed to us is the
sweet realization of the fact that
our darling baby is safe with the I
Angels in Heaven, where no pain
and intense sufferings shall ever
more rack his being. And, too, we
know that it will only lie a little
while until we, too, will cross the
dark river and join our loved one
among the Angels in Heaven.
Dear Little Bill! I miss him so !
All through the day, wheree'r
I go.
All through the night, how lonely
it seems.
I miss him all through the
weary hours,
Day-time or nig'it-time, wherever
I go.
Dear little Bill ! I miss him BO'!
HIS MOTHER.

Stamp Your Mail.
Patrons on rural routes should
remember their carrier ia their
fellowman, neighbor and friend.
It is all he can do to cover his
route in the specified time, and we
often wonder that he does as well
as he does, considering the con
dition the roads have been in for
the last few weeks. If all the pat
rons on routes would stamp their
inailfii would help the currier
considerably. Ho is often com
pelled to remove his glove and
scratch around in the bottom of
the box for pennies, when it would
be just as cheap and much more
convenient. If the mail was stamp
ed, besides the carrier could serve
his patrons more promptly if he
did not have to waste his time
feeling in boxes for pennies.
Every patron should stamp his
mail, especially in cold weather,
and would be'much better if he
would stamp it all the year.—Ex.
