Walnut Cove. N. C.. Nov. IS. 1014.
Many excellent sales have been
made on the floors here this
week and good breaks have been
experienced every day. The
prices h«»ve advanced consider
ably especially on the darker
grades which are now bringing
a fair price. Bright tobacco is
high and it is a rare occurence
to hear a man say he is displeas
ed with his average. Among
those who made satisfactory
sales at the warehouses here
Monday were Messrs. M. H.
Robertson. S. (I. Hampton. G.
B. Easter, R. J. Bowles, Riley
James, T. J. Boles, J. P. Smith,
W. P. Bowman, G. T. Burge,
C. M. Bowman, W. L. Bullen,
W. T. Tuttle, Chas. Harris. W.
J. Smith. Jno. M. Tuttle, A. N.
Tuttle, Roy Turtle and others,
all of whom were well pleased
and satisfied they had done as
well as they would have done on
a larger market. These men are
all old hands at the tobacco
raising business. They know
the worth of their tobacco and
are hard to fool. When men
like the above place their pro
duct on the floor here it is sig
nificant of the fact that Walnut
Cove is not only destined to
have a tobacco market, but that;
she already has one that will
class with any in the state. |
Several Juniors from here!
attended the flag raising and
Bible presentation at Rosebud :
school house Friday. Interest
ing talks were made by members j
of the local council, a beautiful;
dinner was served and all report !
a splendid exercise. These same I
exercises will be held at every!
school house in the township and I
will doubtless prove a stimulus
to the cause of education in the
community.

School building Friday after- j
noon an organization of the ;

nie Kate Secretary and | ]

Mr. Scott, a representative of

■pent Thursday here inspecting ji
the different buildings in the

to offer such suggestions of

quirements resulting from his in
vestigations was the erection of
a fire escape at the school build
ing. the outward opening of

A cow belonging to Mr. Joseph
Neal, who resides three miles
north of town, was stolen Thurs
day night and although a
thorough search has been insti
tuted by the officers no trace has
been found of the missing ani
mal. The cow together with
the man who made the theft
was traced for several miles but
no definite clue could be secur
de. This is only one of the
thefts and burglaries committed
in this section within the last
few months and i? has coqjj! to
be a common nuisance. On the

a long scantling was placed
against a window of the store of
James & Co. which the thieves
anticipated robbing, however,
the scantling was discovered in
time and the officers guarded
the building until daylight.

treatment. I soon began to im-
Erove. and since taking a few
ottles of them my digestion is
fine." For sale by all dealers.
