PINE HALL SIFTINGS.
A Bridge Badly Needed. But the
County hathers Won't Listen.-
Two Sermons.
Pine Hall, Jan. Jan. 23.
The Methodist and Presbyter
ians both preached here last Sun
day. From one pulpit, wo heard
the warning that sin would bring
death; that the Devil could prom,
ise us life and property and a good
time in this world, but it was all a
deception, that he had nothing to
give us. From the other pulpit
we learned that God loved us so
that if we ever once confessed
Him that God would dothe bal
ance; that we might fall in tempta
tion and go wrong, but God would
bring us back in his own time.
We believe it possible that some
people presume two much on God's
mercies. The first preacher said
sin brought death. Sin is sin, let
it be committed before or after
conversion, and it seems to us in
either case we would be under the
same condemnation.
We hope that our county fathers
will soon oome to our relief and
build us a bridge at Pine Hall.
No people in the State need
a bridge like our peoplu mid yet
a deaf ear has been turned on oil
our appeals to our county fathers.
If they knew what disadvantage
we labor under in thii secticn
they would not hesitate to help
us.
Miss Stewart, of Bed Shoals,
visited Miss Bettie Davis at this
place last Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Bogers and Mr. Bennett
were in town Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, who
have been spending some time in
Texas, are visiting their people at
this place.
The Simple Life by Mc was read
with a great deal of interest. It
carried us back to boyhood when
we used to go to church. Boy
hood and in an ox cart and wo were
just as happy then as now. Mc, I
reckon you recollect how our moth
ers and grand mothers used to
shout and praise God and our fath
ers say Amen, but you know this
is not the style now; if some one
were to shout in some of our
modern congregations it would
scare somebody to death and you
recollect how the Methodists used
to all kneel at prayer, but this is
old.style now; you know we would
soil our fine clothes if we knelt
down.

| An Interesting Letter From Bombay.
Bombay, Jan. 21.
Dear Editor :
Your paper is a "welcome visitor
with me every week. I watched
with interest the voting contest.
I Throe cheers for Miss Ada Leak,
and old Quaker Gap township.
Wo are having fine weather now
j for mid-winter and farmers are
' preparing for another crop. The
! farmers hero raise plenty of
; wheat, corn and feed and in fact
] everything they need for home
consumption and then some cot
ton. They are getting good prices
for their cotton now. If Stokes
farmers would adopt this plan it
would be a great deal better for
them raise everything they need
at home and then some tobacco.
Now, just a word to the school
boys and girls of Stokes county.
Are you trying to get an educa
tion? If not why not? The twen
tieth century boy or girl to success
fully meet the demands and re
quirements of the progreessive
age in which you will live must
be prepared with at loast a prac
tical business education. How are
you going to got it? Your parents
can't educate you, your teacher
can't educate you, but you can if
you get interested and try with
their help educate yourselves.
We know that our system of
public schools are not what we
would like for them to be, but to
put in tho language of the day, it's
"up to you" to use the means you
I have at hand.
I find from what little experience
I have had. in the school room
that the greatest trouble with boys
between the ages of 14 anil 20 is
thoughtlessness and lack of ambi
tion. Any boy with a reasonable
mind and energy about him, I
don't care what his financial con
ditions are, can get an education.
Where there's a will there's a way.
Only two more years and you will
have to be able to read, write and
explain the constitution before
you can register and vote unless
our constitution is amended again.
Parents, put your children in
school as soon as they get old
enough and let theui start with
children of their age. If they
don't start then they will get be
hind and will never want to go.
Wishing the Reporter and its
readers all the compliments of tlie
season, I am,
J HERBERT ROBERTSON.

Lots Of Tobacco Going To Market'
A great deal of tobasCo is being
carried lo market from Stokes this
week. The weed is in excellent
order for handling. After the
present season is over a very small
per cent", of the crop will be left
in the country. The Winston
Sentinel has the following in re
gard to prices, etc., on the Wins
ton market :
Sales the past week have greatly
encouraged the farmers, who will'
no doubt plant more of the weed
than ever before. Farm labor be
ing scarce will cause some to cur
tail. Farmers are advised to mar
ket there tobacco before sales get
light as their is positively no ad
vantage in holding it. They
shofild bring it in while- all the
buyers are on the market. The
sales for the week amounted to
(5(52,075 pounds.
Changes In Advertisements.
The attention of the readers of
the Reporter is called to changes
in the following advertisements :
The Blue Front Store at Wal
nut Cove, conducted by J, Will
East, claims not to be the largest
but the cheapest store on earth.
Piedmont Warehouse, at Wins
ton, claims to have realized nine
teen cents on each hundred pounds
of tobacco up to Chrjstmna morp
than the market average.
Farmers' Warehouse, at Wins
ton, desire to thank their many
friends for their liberal patronage
and assure them that they will get
the outside dollar on every pile
sold at Farmers'.

HENRY KOBRE
KILLED AT WINSTON.
FORMER CITIZEN OF STOKES THE VICTIM OF SECRET
ASSASSIN PROBABLY MURDERED FOR HIS
MONEY.
Henry Kobre, a Russian Jew, was found lying on the floor of his
[room at Winston, in a pool of blood, mortally wounded, Sunday night
by hie brother. A bullet hole over the left eye told apart of the story
and the burglar theory, Ihe police believe, explains the rest.
Kobre was in his night clothing and his bed had not been occupi
ed. He is said to carry usually considerable money on his person,
and when found he had stripped of his valuables.
An effort had been made to enter his room, over M. Kobre &
Co.'s saloon, by a door, but a portion of the lock held fast, and t if ho
was robbed the method of entrance is a mystery. Kobre was shot
from outside, the bullet having entered a window near the bed. The
theory of the police is that, preparatory to retiring, he hoard a noise
outside the window, raised the curtain to investigate and was shot by
the burglar.
The wounded man was removed to the Twin City Hospital, where
he died at 1:15 Monday morning without regaining conscious
ness. $
Kobre formerly lived at Walnut Cove, this county, where he con
ducted a grocery.

Up to Christinas brought 19
cents per hundred more
than the market average.
In other words every 1,000 pounds sold at Piedmont has brought one
dollar and ninety cents more than the market average —nearly
enough more to pay your warehouse charges. What do you
think about it ? Is $1.90 per load worth making ?
Don't you think it pays to sell at Piedmont, the leading house in
pounds and ptices?
We are g'ad to tell you that all grades of tobacco are selling well, es
pecially the common ones. We believe that tobaccos up' to 10c
are bringing more money now than they did three years ago —
"the high year." Bring us your next load and you shall lmve
every dollar possible for it. Hoping to see you soon, we are,
Your friends,
