ENJOYABLE VALENTINE PARTY.
The most enjoyable occasion the
young people of this community
have been honored with in quite
a while, was a Valentine party
given by Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Shop
pa rd at their home Thursday, Feb.
14. They invited all the young
people in the community, besides
a number of friends from a dis
tance, among whom were Miss
flattie Shelt.m aid brother, of
Stuart, Va ; Miss Rachel Moore
and brother, of Smith, Miss Lula
Stone, of Pinnacle ; Misses Nina
and Sibbie Sbeppard and Lettie
Brown, of Sandy Ridge ; Miss
Alice Martin, of Smith, and
others. The guests arrived about
6 P. M , there being about 75, and
were warmly invited into tho par
lor and sitting room, both of
which were beautifully decorated
with evergreens and pink and blue
hearts. About 7P. M. from tho
sitting room came the sweet notes
of the violin, guitar and banjo,
which was so tempting and the
room was soou crowded to over
flowing ; but morry hearts and
buay feet soon made room for all
who indulged in keeping time tu
while those who were seek
ing their valentine, and a number
whose hearts were already beating
in unison, occupied the parlor and
hall. There they were left to en
joy themselves until 10 o'clock,
when the unuies of all the gentle
men and ladies were drawn and
placed in separate hoxes and pass
ed around, then the fun began, as
most all the boys drew the wrong
girl, for we could plainly see how
relunctantly they left their own
to seek the one
whose name he drew. Toey were
then invited into the dining room,
thj gentlemen carryiug in the lady
whose name he drew where they
found the table tastily decorated
in pink and blue and handsome
bouquets of evergreens and flowe s
and laden with fancy cakes and
sentimental hearts of candy. Pink
and white icecream was served with
whito pink aodoake, other refresh
ments were aerveil, t he sentimental
hearts were passed, those to the
boys bure questions and those to
the la lies answers, they were
read at the table and enjoyed by
all. They then returned to the
parlor and each gentleman was
presented with a heart by the lady
who drew his name.
We were highly entertained by
music, fortune-telling and all
grades of fun until 12:30, when
the guests then seemed loath to
leave th i place where mirth had
shown a s uiling face.

NOTICE !
FOURTH AND LAST CALL FOR TAXES FOR 1906
I will meet the people of Stokes County for the purpose of collect
ing their taxes for the year 1905, at the following times and places, to
wit :
Wilson's Store, Friday March 1, 1907
(rerinanton, St " 2. "
Dia.bury, Mori " 4, "
Sandy Ruige, (.) E *">h -It n'& ' ) I net. ' 5,- "
W. E. Willis' Store, Wed. ' (5, "
Diliard, - Thurs. " 7, "
Pine Hall, Friday " 8, "
Walnut Cove, Sat. " 9, "
Lawsonville, Mon. " 11, "
Francisco, Tues. " 12, "
Vade Mecum, Wed. " 13, "
,1. M. Mitchell's Store, Thurs. " 14, "
Pinnacle, Friday " 15, "
King, Sat. " 16, "
Allen & Tuttle's Store, Mon, " 18, "
Capella, Tues. " 19, "
The law only requires me to mako two rounds for the collection of
the taxes, one in O.itober and th#j other in March, and then to go to
only one place in each Township. This will be my fourth round, and
I have gone to several places in a township each time, in most of the
township#. I have tried to give the people ample opportunity to pay
their taxes, with as little inconvenience to them as I possibly could.
They are earnestly requested to meet me at the above times and
places, and pay their taxes promptly. This will be my last round, and
the taxes are .iceded to moet the current expenses of the County, the
Schools, and to pay the taxes due the State. The State Treasurer is
urging the Sheriffs in the State to pay the Stat" taxes as early as pos
sible. The school teachers will soon want their money, and the cur
rent expenses of the County must be met. The first installment of
the Court House and Jail building bonds will be due April the 4th,
1907, and will have to be met. The tax payers can see the necessity
for payment, and it is certainly to their interest to pay them without
cost. It is not, by any means, my desire to put the people to any
cost, but as I am oharged with the duty of collecting and settling the
taxes, I must discharge my duty, and if the people do not pay, and are
put to cost, they must not blame me.
This the 13th day of February, 1907.
R. J. PETREE,
Sheriff Stokes County.

BLUE EYES.
I urn still at my old place of
business and have a larger stock of
goods than ever before. I wish to
thank my many customers all over
the county for their past liberal
patronage. I shall buy goods in
larger quantities than ever this
yoar, and shall use every effort to

the lowest prices possible. Don't
fail to come and see me when in
Walnut Cove, and I will assure
you that you will get your money's
worth every time you trade with
me.
Yours for business,

"A word to the wise is suffi

self if J, B Woodruff doesn't sell
you goods cheaper than any man

How does Woodruff sell goods
so cheap ? He buys in large quan

and does his work himself.

Does Not
Color Hair
Ayer's Hair Vigor, as now
made from our new Improved
formula, does not stain or color
the hair even to the slightest
degree. Gray hair, white hair,
blonde hair is not made a
shade darker. But it certainly
does stop falling hair. No
question about that.

Indeed, we believe it will stop every case
of falling hair unless there is some very
