Bond litue Defeated In Rockingham.
Rockinham county held an elec
tion Saturday on the question of
issuing WOO,OOO in bonds to ma
cadamize the roads of the county'.
The opposers of the bond issue
proved to be in the majority and
Rockingham will have to continuo
to work her roads in the same old
way. However, it is learned that
the good roads advocates express
determination to push the measure
again as soon as the law will per
mit. The majority against the
bond issue was about 400.
Big Interest;
When you buy your fertilizer
and pay 50 cents per bag more on
time than it would cost you for
cash, and get about ti months in
which to pay it, do you know how
much interest that is ? It is 50
per cent. No wonder the farmers
are poor.
If you would save this great tax,
call on or write to either of the
cashiers of the Rank of Stokes
County, Danbury or Walnut Cove.

The Reporter is in favor of
liberal game laws, but feels it its
duty to call the attention of the
authorities to the whosesale
slaughtering of one of our choicest
articles of food in Dan river these
nights, and this by men who
stand in high positions of trust
and who should set a better ex
ample. We refer to fish. At this
rate the finny tribe is liable to be.
come extinct. The government,
which looks after our fisheries,
ought to take a hand. Now only
last night Sheriff Petree, Deputy
Davis and Messrs Dodson and
Fry, in all the panoply of war,
armed with hideous three-pronged
weapons, and with fierce torches
a-cracklin' and a-splutterin', in
vaded the lucid waters of the Dan
at Davis' ford and harpooned
(rocks and snags) up the stream
nearly as far as George's mill, ,8
distance of 40 miles, more or less
Nobody knows how many fish
were killed, Of course, people
living in the neighborhood of the
Seven Island and Buck Island
fords, say that as they passed
along that region, the giggers had
not yet found any game, but were
mad and shivering, yet it is known
for a certainty that there -vere al
least one catfish and some ten oi
twelve minnows infesting
the waters of Mounce's bluff
and these poor creatures are be
lieved to have met a sad fate al
the hands of the cruel men.
Gentlemen, we must rise up and
act. This thing must be stopped
