, STOKES COUNTY FAIR
SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE COMING IN
- *
LET EVERYBODY WHO COUNTY PRIDE NOW
COME TO THE FRONT.
Since the last issue of the Re
porter a number of subscriptions
to stock in the County Fair have
been received, and the list now
stands as follows:
I. G. Ross 1 share
W. A. Petree 1 "
Thos. S. Petreo 1 "
C. L. Young 1 "
A. W. Davis 1 "
C. M. Jones 1 "
F. H. Petree 1 "
Dr. J. W. Slate 1 "
Dr. W. C. Slate 1 "
W. G. Slate , 1 "
O. L. Pulliam 1 "
Danbury Reporter 1 share and
SIOO.OO worth of advertising.
Let every public-spirited citizen
of Stokes county send in his name
at once. Remember the shares
are $lO each, and you can take
as many as you wish, no collec
tions to be made until $3,000 has
been raised, which is the amount
necessary. It will be a good in
vestment for your money, and will
doubtless pay you at least 10 per
cent, the first year.
The Stokes County Fair is a
reality. Thousands of dollars are
spent by our people at the fairs of
adjoining counties every year,
where sharpers fleece many of
their hard earned money. We are
going to keep this money at home,
and give a clean, honest fair
everybody may attend and enjoy
themselves, and where real, sub
stantial benefit will result to the
k f arm ere.
After the necessary amount of
subscriptions have been raised,
there will be a meeting of stock
holders when the election of
officers will be made—President,
Secretary, board of directors, etc. —
and the time of holding and place
of location will be determined by
a majority vote of the share
holders.
There will doubtless be a warm
contest for the location, but after
that is settled, everybody will
unite enthusiastically for making
the Stokes County Fair one of the
best in the State.
Paying Polls.
As the first of May will soon be
here when the people who have
not paid their polls cannot vote
next fall, the polls are being rapid
ly paid now. Next month a school
election will be held in Yadkin
township, and unless you have
paid your poll by the first day of
May you cannot vote in the School
election, either.
This is the season of listleßsness,
headaches and spring disorders.
Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea
is a sure preventative. Makes you
strong and vigorous. 35 cents,
Tea or Tablets. R. L. Murphy,
Walnut Cove, H. M. Joyce, Dan
bury.
FIFTY CENTS
IN some conditions the
gain from the use
of Scott's Emulsion is
very rapid. For this
reason we put up a
fifty-cent size, which is
enough for an ordinary
cough or cold or useful
as a trial for babies
and children. In other
conditions the gain is
slower—health cannot
be built up in a day.
In such cases Scott's
Emulsion must be taken
as nourishment; a food
rather than a medicine.
It's a food for tired and
weak digestions.

REV. P. OLIVER WRITES.
Wants to Know If 21 Names to a Pe
tition Can Involve Yadkin Town
ship In School Election—Op
posed to Horseracing.
Baseball, etc., at the
County Fair. •
Dalton, April it.
Mr. Editor :
I see in your last issue of the
Reporter that an election was or
dered by our County Commission
ers to be held (I suppose in Pin
nacle) on the 15th of May to au
thorize a special tax in Yadkin
township to supplement our school
funds. Will some one please ex
plain how it is in this democratic
government that 21 names to a
petition can involve a whole town
ship in an election like this ? I
wonder if 22 votes will fix such a
measure upon our people ? If the
township is involved why not hold
the election at each of the pre
cincts? We need the light turned
on at once. Is it not true that we
have already sufficient school
funds, if properly managed, to run
the schools four months in the
year ? To continue longer than
four months would be a great
waste in most cases. In some
schools recently olosed I am told
that the attendance got as low as
six children a day. I ask the peo
ple of Yadkin township if they
are prepared to pay a special
school tax in addition to our regu
lar State and county tax and the
special tax now before us, to pay
teachers fair prices to instruct six
or less little children. Our people
are generally dependent upon the
products of the farm for wharf,
money they handle, and the crops,
if cultivated by hired labor, cost
about as much as they are worth.
Let us stop and think a little
while before we decide to take any
more burden upon ourselves. I
wonder if there are any "pets"
somewhere in old Yadkin town
ship who expect to have a finger
in the pie, provided the pie can
be made? Fellow citizens, let us
wake up in time to secure our
safety.
Now a word about our county
fair. For one, I had thought that
we might "have a quiet, decent
fair, simply to exhibit the iudustry
of the oounty, but I see at once
that horseracing, baseball and
other dangerous and demoralizing
practices are to be connected with
it. Hence I want to suggest that
we let it die in infancy. Better
die at once than to generate and
encourage so much evil. Is not
our State fair, as conducted, a
shame upon North Carolina? Shall
the people of Stokes start out in
a similar way? For my part I
had much rather the subject bo
buried so deep that it would never
be resurrected than have the fair
established with the usual dangers
and immoralities associated with it.

Mr. Jno. R. Smith and Family Move
to Walnut Cove R. 3—The Young
Folks Given a Nice Party.
Campbell Route 2, March 10—
Mr. Tom Mabe is right sick and
not expected to live.
Mr. and Mrs. John R. Smith
gave the young people of this
neighborhood a nice party. The
house was crowded full and all
enjoyed themselves fine. The
good people of this neighborhood
regretted to lose Mr. Smith and
family as they are leaving for
their new home near Walnut
Cove. The people around old
Hardbank will miss them very
much but our loss is Waluut
Cove's gain and we wish them
much success in the future.
Mr. DeWitt Nelson and sister

visited Mr. Smith's Saturday

give the names of the ones that
