GERMANTON.
Germanton, July 21—The to*
bacco crop in this section is look
ing splendid.
Mr. F. E. Petree tells us that he
has the finest crop he has ever
raised, and that is saying a lot,
because Mr. Petree always raises
splendid tobacco.
Mr. W. D. Browder has a beau
tiful crop also. Mr. Browder is
one among the few who have
made a success with the weed. I
think if the tobacco raisers would
follow Mr. Browder's principles in
the cultivation of their tobacco
they would be more successful.
Mr. Browder tells us that every
time the top of the soil becomes a
little hard he goes into it and
lightly cultivates the soil. By
doing so he keeps the ground
loose and moist and the tobacco
is not so liable to fire or burn up
from the bottom. Mr. Browder
has worked his crop five times and
it certainly shows the effects, too.
Mr. Browder does not plant such
a large crop, but just what he can
give his attention to. The great
mistake with most of the farmers
is that they try to plant more than
they can attend to, and by doing
so they make a failure of it all.
, If next year we would plant a
reasonable crop and not try to put
out the whole world, I am sure we
would make a far better success
of our tobacco crops.
Mr. H. McGee has finished the
repair work on the old court house
in Germanton, and it looks like a
new building now. We are glad
Mr. McGee has made the improv
inents, because they help the
looks of our town.
Mr. It. G. Petree spent Sunday

Miss Ellie and Ada Crews at

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Kurfee,

MR. WIRT MITCHELL HURT.

Escape—Two Deaths Near Cases
—News From Gideon.
Gideon, July 25. —Will say we
have had much rain of late and
some very hot days, but 1 presume
most of your readers have found
out that the weather is hot.
Will ulso say that crops are fine

and need less rain and more sun
shine.
Threshing is about over and
wheat and rye crops are only about
half a yield.
News is scarce; some sickness
prevails. Three cases of typhoid
fever at Dillard. Nick and Russell
Mitchell and their mother, they
are convalescent now.
Mr. Wirt Mitchell received
severe injuries by falling from his
wagon coming from Madison last
Saturday and had a narrow escape
from being killed before he was
oxtricated.
Mr. W. M. Flynt is slightly in
disposed from futigue of a recent
trip to Winston.
We arc sorry to chronicle the re
cent deaths of Mr. James 11.
Scales and Mrs. Thomas Gann
near Cases. Both were chronic
invalids and their deaths were not
unexpected. Both will bo much
missed by relatives and many
friends,

pie Sanitarium at Winston-Salem

GOAT,
About the Public Roads.
Heareford, July 20.
Editor Reporter:
Please allow to say through the
Reporter that the overseers of the
public roads of Snow Creek town
ship are hereby respectfully noti
fied to have their roads in good
order and report the same to the
board of supervisors at John
Hutcherson's shop on the first
Saturday in August at 1 o'clock p.
m. This must be done. I also
beg leave to suggest that the super
visors of Stokes county urge up
on the county commissioners for
an arrangement by which the
overseers of each section in the
county can hire a team and a plow
as much two days in each year.
One in the spring and one in the
fall. Or as much as is necessary
not to exceed two days in each
year, and to be used r.nder the
directions of the overseers. Then
each section will get its part of
this help. I think this plan
would give better satisfaction
than our present system. Or, bet
ter than it would to do all the
work by taxation, and would be
great encouragement to all road
workers. I think this plan would
give us better roads than we have
ever had and would not cost the
county but very little compared
to what it would cost to do all the
work by taxation.
Let us hoar from some one else.
