Page 4 THE Mil] Reporter PEPPER BROS., Editors and Prop s WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1912 Let us have 100 boys who wil -try for the corn prizes this year, Capital flows along the lines ol least resistance. One of th most insurmountable obstacles ii mud. Fresh-laid eggs are selling ir New York at 65 cents per dozen, The old hens have got cotton anc tobacco badly skinned. The controversy between Col, Watterson and Governor Wilsor is not nearly so exciting to the country as to themselves. The Forsyth authorities are building their gopd roads on out to our county line near Dr. Fulp's. If it would not be asking too much, let them come on as far as they wish this way. The Reporter has never in all its experience heard of any coun ty or State regretting money spent on public roads. The re sults are always beneficial, and an ever increasing delight. The road from Danbury to Walnut Cove is beyond descrip tion. It would take Dante to give even a faint idea of it. If ihe author of the Inferno lived in Stokes county now, he could ra-immortalize himself without going below. Makes no difference how high tobacco sells, or how low, the fellow who always raises his sup plies at home will come out on top. Find the substantial, pros perous farmers of Stokes, who have paid for their homes and lands and who have money in the bank : every one of them will tell you he raises enough corn, wheat, hay and meat to do his household, without having to buy from the West. Consequent ly, his tobacco money is saved. If the Southern, or any rail way company, steamship line, or any government or other corpor ation had said, "We will build, improve and extend our system -o.ily as far as we are able to do on our own resources without bor rowing money or issuing bonds" —where would be the great government of the United States today? About like a South American province of Spain. The idea of a county deciding not to make public improvements without being able to pay for them, down is so absurd that not one in America has ever so re solved without remaining a laugh ing stock to the progrossive age. Card of Thanks. Editor Danbury Reporter: Please allow us space in the columns of the Reporter to thank the citizens of Pinnacle and community, for the kindness rendered Mrs. W. C. Dennis during her illness, also for the kind favors and sympathy ehown us during our trip with her for her burial. We wish to assure our many friends that their kindness wee highly appreciated and will not b© forgotten. Bespectfully, RED SHOALS NEWS| r DEATH OF MR. TOBE HEATH s Public Schools Close Dillard ? School To Have Entertainment- Other Items. j Red Shoals, Jan. 28.—Mr. Tobe Heath was stricken with paralysis last Wednesday morn f ing, from which he died Friday e morning. He was buried last s Saturday at Stuart's graveyard. Rev. Fred Smith filled his appointment at Davis Chapel 1 last Sunday at eleven o'clock. • Owing to the disagreeable weather not many were out. Hope more will be there next fourth Sunday to hear him. We would also be glad to see a good crowd out next second Sunday to hear brother Folger. We are sure any one will feel ; better after hearing one of I brother Folger's good sermons, and we are always glad to see > you. We wish that our whole • community would wake up and take more interest in Sunday School and church _work, _ fori I I am afraid if we ask ourselvei ■ the question, are we doing our duty towards our Sunday schools and churches, that we would know we are not. We would know if we were weighed in the balance we would be. found wanting, and remember He says, "Be ye therefore ready also, for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not— and blessed are those servants whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching." Let's wake up and be truer to our church, Sunday school and our God. The Roark school, taught by Miss Lizzie Adkins, closes some time this week. The Dillard school closed last Friday. They will have an entertainment Wednesday evening. 1 Mrs. Lasley has been right feebleHfor the last few days. ' We hope she will soon be better. J Mr. Jay Adkins was in Madi- , son one day last week with to bacco. He reports the prices > right good. The writer has heard that the box supper at the Roark school last Saturday night was quite a l success. 1 E. i i Pinnacle Route 2. Pinnacle Route 2, Jan. 29. Dear Reporter : Since the weather has moderat- , ed the school of this place has j been increasing very rapidly. ] There will be services at Brim's Grove on the first Sun- j day in February. It will be conducted by Rev. James Ben- 1 nett. Mrs. L. F. Joyce is in very ] feeble health at this writing. Miss Emma and Gencie Green, ] of Walnut Cove, are visiting : their friends this week. They ( visited Mr. D. L. Smith, of ] Brim's Grove, while in this sec tion. Their visit was greatly enjoyed by all who met them. Hope they will come again. Brim's Grove Union will meet every second and fourth Satur day in the month at 1 o'clock, P. M. Hope all the members will be out prompt If you want to sell your farm, or if you want to buy another, let the Reporter bring you face to face with the man you are looking for. A email ad will dc the work. Juet tell ue your wiehee. We wW do the net k t c FINE CROP YEAR, 1912 FARMERS HOPES RUN HIGH The Old Folks Tell Us, and the ' Signs Point That Way,, Good Wheat Yields, Large Corn Turn outs And Fine Tobacco Results Follow Hard Winters. i In good old Stokes, where everything turns on the success of the farmers, all of us are in r terested in the signs of good ■ times. This week starts out with • a heavy sleet., which draws the i frost from the toes of the tiny | wheat plants, kills the bacilli sleeping in the soils, and poisons the vicious weed seed hiding in the fields. From every neighborhood • comes news that large acreages are being arranged for tobacco l and farmers are elated over the [ crop prospects for 1912, which look roseate at this writing. We have had long hard freezes, snow, ice, and bleak winds, con tinuous and prolonged—things which the old folks tell us are invariably followed by good crops and when the farmer cries, we sympathize with him, when he jumps and laughs, we hop, skip and cut the pigeon wing. Every thing depends on this man of the plow and the hoe—he is the main spring, the balance wheel and the chief guy. What we started out to say was that the signs point to good things for the tillers of the soil. On the farmer's good luck and i good fortune depends good things to eat, good clothes, schools, trade, bank deposits, lawyers' and doctors' fees, and last but not least, newspaper dollars. Consequently when Mr. Farm er takes a pinch of snuff, we all sneeze. PUBLIC SALE OF LAND, By virtue and authority of a de cree of the Superior Court of Stokes County in case of James Rlersonand W. W.
