Farmer*' Quickstep Telephone Co.
Getting To Be a Bitf Concern.
King Route 2, Jan 22. -We
read in the dear old Reporter of
last week's issue of the Big
Creek Telephone Company, and
we are glad to learn that the
farmers of that section have a
. system like that. They claim it
is one of the biggest things in
the county. We advocate such
organizations but sorry to learn
that some of our people do not
read their county paper.
There is another telephone
organization in Stokes county
known as The Farmers Quick
step Telephone Company. It has
a capital stock of twenty-five j
thousand dollars, with head-1
quarters at King, it has .three!
hundred and eighty stockhold
ers, two hundred and sixty-five,
phones installed, has three cen-1
. tral offices with from eight to
nine lines each, and has connec- j
tion with Dan bury, Capella, .
* Rural Hall, Mt. View, Tobacco-!
ville, Donnaha, Pinnacle, Dalton
and many other points, and is
still building. This company
has been offered one hundred
and fifty cents in the dollar and

folks should take it into their
heads to go along, too, in which
case they would of course be
entirely welcome. But the
chaperone—she must be a mar
ried woman, and must be elect
ed by the girls. The Reporter
is writing each of them for their
choice, in order that their wishes
may be learned.
In the meantime the Reporter
is taking up with the railroad
company the matter of an ex
-1 cursion, and will see what ar
rangements can be made for
securing cars to carry a large !
crowd. -Everybody wants to go.
If no excursion can be arrang
ed, a special car, to go through 1
without change, will be secur- !
ed.
The Reporter desires to thank !
each and all of the young ladies :
concerned in the contest, and all
other persons who helped to
make it a success. '

NO SALE YET MADE 1
OF DRY PRIZERY TOBACCO
Erroneous Fepnrt Circulated In
County That the Pool of Tobacco
At Walnut Cove Had Been Mar
keted—No Effort Has Yet Been
Made to Sel', But Several Offers
Have Been Received.
An erroneous report has been
circulated in different neighbor
hoods of the county to the effect
that the pool of tobacco in the j
Walnut Cove dry prizery has;
been sold. Manager J. Spot
Taylor, who returned to Dan-i
bury Saturday afternoon, spend-!
ing Sunday and part of Monday j
with his family here, requests
the Reporter to state that there!
is no foundation for the errone-1
ous report of the sale. Mr. Tay
lor says that no effort has been
made effect a sale, although
several offers have been made
on the storage by different con-1
cerns. Mr. Taylor stated, more- J
over, that the Company had no j
desire to markot the pool yet,!
and added if those people who |
are circulating the false report!
would listen to those who are
on the inside rather than to'
those who are on the outside, !
they would save themselves j
| trouble, and keep better inform- \
led.
The dry prizery now has about
400,000 pounds of tobacco stored.
On account of the recent severe
ly cold weather and the unfavor- ,
able condition of the roads, cou
pled with the absence of a sea
son for stripping, not many
farmers have been able to get
their tobacco in shape for haul
ing. Sowever, quite a lot was i,
stored last week, and during !
this week. A big break is ex
pected from many neighbor
hoods of the county as soon as (
the weather and roads will per- (
mit.
The selling of the Walnut
Cove pool will be a very interest
ing event to the people of Stokes
county, and when it is accom
plished the farmers will be im- ,
mediately notified in all sections
by a special bulletin of the Dan
bury Reporter, which will be
issued from this office and mail
ed to all subscribers of this pa
per free. (

The Bad Roads Tax.
Monroe Enquirer
The road tax is now being
paid. Bad roads tax the people
a great deal more than rood
roads ever tax them. It cost:
money to build good roads and
that money tax is all there is to'
it Bad roads are expensive in
purse, a tax upon the patience, j
a vexation to thessprit and a,
weariness to the flesh.

deeply in his affliction, and also
with the family, who are much
troubled and concerned. Every
one hopes that the young may be
