DANBURY REPORTED
VOLUME XL.
BILL INTRODUCED
Representative D. V. Carroll
Put Stokes Road Bill
Before Legislature
Saturday.
ELECTION IN MARCH
Bill Will Not Likely Be Passed In
Time For Commissioners To
Call Election At Regular
February Meeting
Next Monday.
Representative D. V. Carroll,
of Stokes county, introduced in
the House of Representatives
last Saturday the bill providing
for an election on the question
of issuing bonds for building j
roads in the various townships j
of Stokes county.
It was hoped by the good 1
roads advocates that the bill
could be passed in time for
the county commissioners to
call the elections in the various
townships at their regular meet
ing next Monday, but it is very
probable that this cannot be done,
and a special meeting of the
commissioners will be necessary
some time early in February,
just as soon as the bill is passed
by the Legislature, ana the
elections will be ordered
at this special meeting. As it is
necessary to give thirty days
notice before holding an election
it will probably be about the
10th or 15th of March before a
vote can be had on the question.
In response to numerous re
quests from-our readers the Re
porter will in the near future
print the full text of the bill to
be voted upon.

| In High Point to Build
Good Roads Here
! Mr. W. D. Poor, a substantial

to High Point from his home in
this county, writes the Reporter
as follows:
I see you are getting up some
j interest in good roads which I
[am glad to see. High Point has
! enough Stokes people to build:
good roads up there and many of ■
them would come back if they j
could see you all were in earnest.:
Stokes is a much richer county i
than this as far as soil is con- 1
cerned. So I say wake them up
j and keep our people at home.
I That is my advice.

ITo the Members of the Farmers

; I notice that in the last week's
I issue of the Reporter that my
: dates were a little mixed.
I will be at Prestonville on
i Tuesday, Jan. 28th; Young's
!on the 29, Hylton's on the 30th,
[at 7:30 .p. m., Lawsonville on

p. m.; Volunteer on the 6th, at
7:30 p. m.; Pinnacle on the 7th,
at 7:30 p. m.; King on the Bth,
at 10 a. m.
Now, my friends, it is im
-1 portant that you should attend
I these meetings as I have import
ant business with you, and I
; will bring you good news. There
i has never been a time in the
history of the order in this
county when prospects were so
bright. If we stand together
this year we will get better
prices on fertilizer than we did .
last year as four big fertilizer
companies that have never made
prices before have now made
I prices to us which are lower
| than prices made last year.
We will pool tobacco again
! this year at Walnut Cove and
we want each member to be
j loyal and true, and if we will
'do this the Union will be pro
fitable to us.
Take the matter of co-opera
tive buying in the Union and 1
contend that the Union has
saved for its members in this
county on fertilizer alone not
less than SIO,OOO in the last
two years. Not only have the
members of the Union been
benefited, but the man on the
outside has been benefited too,
as the local fertilizer dealers had
to put the prices down to him.
The members of the Farmers'
Union in this county have some
thing to be proud of, for we
lead any county in the State,
having more money invested in
Union enterprises than any
other county in N. C. We have
two Union roller mills, capital
$22,000, one tobacco redrying
plant, capital SIB,OOO, one Union
bankr—capital $25,000 and one
co-operative store, capital $lO,-
000, with branch offices, making
a total of $75,000 invested in
Union enterprises in this county,
and if we all will only work
together we will see greater
things in the future.
Yours fraternally,

Walnut Cove, January 28.
Mr. A. W. Davis has purchased
the entire livery business of Mr.
R. P. Joyce. The transfer in
cludes only the personal proper
ty—horses, vehicles, etc., Mr.
Joyce retaining the building and
other real estate. The new
owner has leased the Piedmont
Springs livery line.
Mr. John C. Bailey will pur
chase an automobile as soon as
the weather clears up to be used
on his R. F. D. line, as well as
for other purposes of both busi
ness and pleasure. Possibly
Mr. Bailey is wise with an eye to
future parcels post require
ments. Mr. Bailey is one of
Walnut Cove's most popular
carriers.
Joe Whitten, Walnut Cove's
star wag, says that daisy mid

legal tender in Stokes, and that
horses and wheat bran wont go.
Mr. John M. Linville, one of
Stokes county's best men, died
at his home a few miles south
east of here on the 22nd. Mr.
Linville was aged 81. He is
surviyed by seven children, as
follows : W. S. Linville, of
Indianapolis, Ind.; D. L. Lin
ville, of Louisville, Ky.; P. H.
Linville, of this place; W. G.
Linville, of King; W. D., Robert
and Julius Linville of the home
neighborhood. The deceased
was considered an excellent
gentleman, honored for his
integrity and his kindly dis
position. He raised quite a
large family, all of whom are
good citizens.
The citizens of Walnut Cove
are discussing a bond issue for
the improvement of the streets
of the town.
The stockholders and directors
of The Banlt of Stokes County
will hold their annual meeting
here tomorrow. The Bank has
just closed its most successful
year. Owing to the great in
crease of deposits and business
the stockholders will probably
vote to increase the stock at
this meeting.
Good roads is the chief
topic here. The opinion is
general that Sauratown will
vote the bonds, though there
is some opposition. An errone
ous impression seems to have
gained currency that the prin
cipal portion of the funds derived
from the sale of the bonds are
to be spent for the benefit of
this town. The bill, which is
now before the legislature for
passage, plainly states that the
road funds shall be spent for
the building of modern roads in
all parts of the township, and
does not allow any section to be
discriminated against. All the
Walnut Cove people with whom
your correspondent has talked
are in favor of giving every sec
tion of the township the square
deal.
A wedding of social promi
nence occurs here today when
Miss Frances Jones, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Jones, will
be united to Mr. Norman P.
Stone, of Winston-Salem. Miss
Jones is distinguished for her
attractive personality, and her
rare gifts of mind and heart.
She is universally popular, and
is one of Stokes county's most
lovable characters. Every one
who knows her feels like congrat
ulating the successful young
business man of Winston-Salem
who has been so fortunate as to
win her for his bride.
Mr. J. Irving Bolt has return
ed to his loved Carolina after
sweltering for a few weeks in
Florida. Now comfortably fixed
by Mr. Dodaon'a fires, he is

shall the lure of the Everglades

Cove.
