, OLD SOLDIERS' -DAY SATUR
DAY.
At Danbury next Saturday the
old confederate soldiers the last
remnant of the Ariuy of Northern
' Virginia in Stokes count) will
meet. It is the purpose of tlie
managers of the association to
have GovyGlenn or Hon C. B.
W address the old soldiers.
Every person in the county who
can do so, is invited to come out
and bring a basket and help give
the "boys in gray" a good dinner
Col. M. V. Mabe and Dr. L. H.
Hill have promised to make music
on the fife, and some one will
probably beat the drum. From
present indications there will
be a tremenduous crowd here.
Everyone feels an interest in the
old Boldiers. Their ranks are sad
ly fading away, and only a very
few more years will elapse before
the last of the once gallant and
invincible army will hare passed
over the river to be waked by the
bugle calls on the other side. Let
us do them them these honors
now in their old age and in their
last days. It will not cost much,
and they will appreciate it more
than anything. Many of them are
poor and have not had a square
meal in many a day, Let the sons
and daughters and the grand chil
dren and the friends of the old
men come out and help them to
pass a happy day,
Capt. James A. Leak writes the
Reporter that owing to the serioua
illness of Mrs. Leak that he may
be detained from coming, but that
he will be here if he possibly can,
and that he desires every one to
t*ke an interest in making the day
a pleasant one for the old soldiers.
LOOK OUT FOR CONSUMPTION.
The Reporter has no desire to
be an alarmist, but we feel it our
duty to warn those of our readers
who would appreciate such that
the number of cnses of consump
tion in the neighborhood of Dnn
brry at this time is indeed cause
for concern, and that some meth
od of avoiding contagion should
be adopted. It is well known by
intelligent peoplo'that the promis
cuous expectoration of consumpt
ives in public places is dangerous
to the general health of the people,
especially of those who are predis
posed to consumption either by
heredity or constitutional weak
ness. It is certain that there are
at this time no less than sis well
defined cases of tuberculosis in
this community and equally cer
tain that no sort of precaution is
observed to prevent the fatal
germs from finding new tields to
pasture in
In some States there are laws,
we believe, that prohibit consump
tives from expectorating in public
places. While we have no such
laws, we should at least be very
careful to observe the common
sense precautions, and one of these
is to sleep in well ventilated rooms j
and keep as much fresh air and
cleanliness around us as possible.i
Nothing is so fatal to the germ of'
consumption as fresh air.
One of the most pertinent ques
tions of the day at this time, so
far as our own county is concern-,
ed, is, whnt has suddenly become
of the North Carolina Protective
Association.

OUR LORD AND MASTER. J
, In olden times in England aj
. duke owned immense tracts of
„ j country, rich provinces, towns,
cities and the inhabitants, body

> as absolute as that uf the king.
; North Carolina, Virginia and Ken- i
• tucky is a dukedom, and the mas-1
• tor of this territory is a real Duke, j
Our lands are in eifect his, just as
a much as if he owned them in foe
t simple. Our peoplo are his serfs,
i The rich products of our lands are
1 his assets, and the toil of our mil
-3 lions go to make him and his com
> panions richer year by year.
'Tie not our will, but thine, be
. done, O Duke. We would that!
j we might have more money forj
t our work, and better prices for
|
• our tobacco, but we have no power i
to force thee to treat us ritrht. A '
■ | e>
. goodly number of our own people, |
3 those who suffer with us, believe;
1 that thou art paying us all that we;
i deserve, and that thou art the best
1 friend we ever had. We look |
. around us at Winston, Reidsville,
3 Madison, Martinsville, Greensboro
- j and a hundred other towns and
j\ see huge factories that cost mil
s lions of dollars standing empty,
I silent aud deserted- somber tomb
-1 stones that mark the death of cotn

t thee standing Master of every to
i bacco market from Virginia to
• Texas, the incarnation of Greed,

, It is remarkable how little the
, people know about the future, and'
. how much tboy think they know,!
[ Never in the history of our conn-!
, ty, in the memory of our oldest j
inhabitants, has more wet weather!
i
, visited the farmers than has been
'
, the case the present summer. It
, was the geuertl verdict of the |
t know-alls even ts shortly back as
two weeks ago, that the tobacco
, orop in Stokes county was not :
, only going to be exceedingly short,
but that the quality would be:
very inferior. But today every j
. farmer you meat tells you that he ■
, has as good if not the best crop of
■ tobacco that he ever had in his
l life.
The 'ld Mareter still knows his
. business

; Recently Mr. J. G. H. Mitchell, I
one of the Reporter's beat and
! most valued friends, made K trip
over the mountains into Virginia,
and on his return wrote a very
entertaining and interesting de
scription of the trip for publica-i
tiou in this paper, sending the!
same to us by mail. But the,
manuscript has accidentally been'
misplaced in this ottieo, and can
not be found anywhere We re
gret exceedingly that such is the .
case, and trust thai Mr. MitohelL
will re-write the article and send'
to us, and wt! promise to be more
careful for jfs preservation next;
