Page 2 STOKES BOY WRITES FROM OREGON. Considers the Reporter A Treat and Fully Worth $1.50 A Year. Portland, Oregon, May 22. Editors Reporter : Enclosed please find subscrip- ! tion for paper also a word or so of; comment for the wonderful im provement you have made iu the paper within the last year. The Reporter should be very much appreciated by the farm ers of Stokes and adjoining counties and by the number of people that have lived in those counties but are now scattered all over the different States of the union. The farmer should appreciate it from the fact it gives some extra gooil "tips" on farming that if they woidd try and practice they I would be much wiser and consid erably better otF financially. It caunot be impressed on the farmers' minds any too much that it is useless to grow so much to bacco, for you will be a slave to) the Trusts as loug as you grow it. You can live better without the ; . dirty stuff. Some poor fellow will say no we can't live without it. i when his crop did not pay his grocery, fat-back, and fertilizer i bill. I say yc9. and he would I too if he could take a little journ- i ey over some of the farms in Ore- gon where the chances for a va- i riety crop is not as good as in North Carolina, and see how those German, Swede, Norwegian and Italian farmers live. They live happy and have plenty at home; and a good bank account. They 4 raise everything that is good to eat. There are a number of farm ers out here that raised tobacco in! Virginia and North Carolina that i have found that grain, dairy, hay, fruit, poultry and root fanning, "skins'" tobacco. To put the same time and energy to the above prod ucts that, you do to tobacco in a few years you will have jingling twenties where you now have jing ling pennies. Shake hands with Mr. I. G. J Ross for the ideas he has convey ed to you on farming through the j Reporter, also Messrs. Harris and 1 #••••••••••••••••••• # Get Ready For % # Threshing; Grain • # I am selling: the The Huber Ma- # # chinery—the best Threshing Ma- # # chine and the best Portable or # # Traction Engine on the market. # § • READ THESE TESTIMONIALS: A; Conesus, X.

The reason we people who have left Stokes and adjoining counties consider the Reporter a treat and ; fully worth the $1.50 per year, is ! that we get news from our friends j and of different things that occur that we would never be able to know if it were not for those pleasant little community corres pondence of the Reporter. We always look forward to its coming, and throw aside all other papers to scan its pages first. L. C DAVIS. Stokes Citizen Writes From Durham. Durham, May 2"> Dr»ar Reporter : 1 don't suppose you have hud very many letters from Durham readers of the Reporter. As I have recently subscribed for the Re porter, I will write a few items; from Durham. Durham is a very nice place. It has tolwicco facto ries, cotton factories, hosiery mills, 1 bag mill, high schools and col leges, street cars and motor care : and many things that I haven't, spnee to mention. A motor car' makes two round trips to Chapel Hill every day. Well, I wonder how the boys and girls are getting along on To- i, baccovillo Route 2. I am from ; that section, and would like to see some letters from some of the boys aud girls. There are some as pretty girls iu Durham as you see ( anywhere and as many as any other places. I see a letter about every week j ;in the Reporter from "Me" at | Dalton. Looks like some of you ' could be as smart as "Me" some time. I think I saw one little piece in the paper from Tobacco ville the first week I got the Re porter. I presume the farmers of Stokes arc having phones put in their homes, which will be a great ad . vantage to them. "ME TOO." | i Masters Sidney Allen and Geo. i | Apperson, of Winston, went to | Piedmont Friday to visit the family of Mrs. S. E. Allen THE DANBURY REPORTER. I j NEW WAY TO PULL FODDER. )j A Stokes Man Up In Ashe County i i Travels Four and a Half Miles To Get One Mile. I I Gleudale Springs, Ashe County, 1 May 24. Editor Reporter : I wish I had a Reporter to read today. It is like getting a letter from.a friend to get tho Reporter, as I know so many of the contrib utors to it. Of course there is lots of stuff that gets into the Re jtorter that is not interesting to everybody, such as "broad smiles," "J. goes down the road," and "best girl." etc. All such is not in teresting to the average reader, and is no good to anyone. I came up here over the State road yesterday from North Wil kesboro. It just costs you fifty cents to drive over it. It is the best grade I think I ever saw accord t ing to the laud It is made at one place so you drive 4i miles to | , make one. It is very high and cool up here. : i 1 want to tell the farmers some-ji thing about pulliug fodder that a i i farmer in Wilkes told me about. He had the nicest fodder I think I ever saw. I asked him bow he saved it. He said he pulled it the t usual way but did not tie it. When he gets his bauds full he takes out two or three blades, wraps them around the tail euds of the blades, ! then twist them and slips between i the ear and stalk and let the huts | hang down. He said he could take it up one day sooner and, I never have any molded buts. It I certainly is worth trying. It is' the nicest looking fodder I ever saw D. S. W. FRANCISCO. Francisco, May 2H. Editor Daubury Reporter : While it has been pretty gen erally accepted that prohibition ' should not be made a political is s sue, yet tho supporters of Mr. R. D. Reid for Congress would like Ito know how he stands on prohi bition—on which side of the fence he is. Hoping to see it in priut j in the Reporter. Yours respectfully, J. W. SHELTON. ENDORSED BY THE HARRIS*. ' A Member of the Firm Was Present At Meeting of the Board of Trade When Resolution Was Passed. Winston-Salem, May 27. Editor Danbury Reporter : I asked a question of Mr. Brooks while he was speaking there on Wednesday of your Court: whether he had advised the sending of a telegram to me in March, 1!H)7, to which telegram the firm of Robt. Harris & Bro. was party, and he said that he had not. I Bnw a communication in the Reidsville pnper the other day from Mr. Brooks in which an affi davit appeared from Robt. Harris stating that he had signed no tele gram to me. Today I wired Mr. P. D. Watt, of Reidsville, asking j him if a member of the firm of Harris & Bro. was present at the meeting of the Board of Trade held in Reidsville March 0, 1907,1 when a resolution wns adopted asking me to prevent the passage | of tho bill pending before the Sen- j ate known as Section A of the Reid Bill. In reply I have received an ans. wer dated today from Mr. Watt, i , who was a member of the commit tee, together with J. H. Burton and Z. V. Gwynn, committee ap-, pointed by the Board of Trade J which passed the resolution, in which he says that a member of! the Harris firm was present at the! meeting and raised no objection to, the passuge of the resolution. I send this in justice to myself j : for the purpose of showing that while a member of the firm did not sign the telegram, he was : present at the meeting and raised no objection to the passage of the resolution and thereby became a I party to it and endorsed it. Respectfully, J. C. BUXTON. | Prohibitionists Ask for Thanksgiv ing Services and Special Collec tions.

There is only oue way to euro deafness, and tnat is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an inHamed condition of the mucous lining of : the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inHamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be I taken out and this tube restored ,to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; ninoj ! cases out of ten are caused by Ca-! tarrh, which is nothing but an in-' jflamed condition of the mucus j surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHEN NY & CO., Toledo, O.
