FOR "BUENA-VISTA."
0. L. Pulliam Thinks That On the
Railroad is Not the Proper Place
For the County Fair.
Germanton Route 1, April 9.
It seems to me that it is not the
proper thing to do to have in con
sideration so many out of the way
places for the fair, but I wish to
to mention (I think) the most
suitable place in the county, one
that hasn't been mentioned lately;
it is Flat Shoal. It is within a
mile or so of the center of the
county and is also as suitable a
place as can be found in the coun
ty. The land is level and could
be fixed with little cost. I don't
know how much land would be
given, but nearly every one in the
community would take stock.
And another thing of great im
portance, is plenty of water handy
here at Flat Shoal. You will find
two or three good springs right at
the place, one of which will afford
all the water needed for man and
beast and just as good water as
you would find in the county and
as I said it is in the center of the
county and at the junction of four
of the main public roads in the
county. Considering the loca
tion in the center, level, nice place
and good water, I think this the
place. Of what use is a railroad
to a Stokes County Fair? Sup
pose you fix the place at Walnut
Cove, Germanton, or King what
good is that railroad along there
on the edge of the county. How
many of the farmers of the county
would carry their exhibits over
this railroad? This is a thing for
the good of the people of the
county and not for the railroad.
It should be to create more pride
and ambition among the farming
class of people and what accomo
dation will it be to the people off
on one edge of the county? Think
of this. Even if it should cost
more here to get things in shape
which it will not. Flat Shoal is
the place, but I have a better name
for the location; the name is
"Buena-Vista." So I stand for
the center where it will be as
handy for one farmer as another,
and another thing to, consider,
if you locate on the railroad you
are so handy for these side shows
and swindling machines, which I
think is not the thing we want to
make a fair a success.
So put me down one share at
"Beuna-Vista."

LOCAL BRIEFS.
Mr. Geo. Lewis, of Germanton
Route 1, was here Tuesday. Mr.
Lewis is in favor of an electric
railroad through Stokes, leading
from Walnut Cove via Meadows,
Danbury, Piedmont, Moore's and
Vade Mecum to Rural Hall. Mr.
Lewis says it would be a good in
vestment if the county would is
sue bonds to build this route.
Mr W. P. Nelson, of Campbell
Route 2, was here yesterday. Mr.
Nelson is highly in favor of the
electric railroad, will vote for the
tax and thinks a majority of the
Peter's Creek citizens will do like
wise. Mr. Nelson, who is a mer
chant, says that on account of the
bad roads hauling from the depot
costs as high as 40 cents per hun
dred, and that even at that price
it is very difficult to get goods
hauled, and that often before he
can get goods from the depot, he
could have sold them all out.
