siderable interest is manifested
in the series of meetings being
conducted at the New Ware
house by Presiding Elder
Sprinkle, of Alt. Airy. Large
crowds, attracted by the force
ful sermons, are in attendance.
Many confessions have been
made as well as several acces
sions 10 the church. Special
sermons on the subject of sin
were delivered on Friday, Satur
day and Sunday nights which
proved very interesting and
beneficial. A feature of the
meeting is the splendid choir
composed of the best singers of
all the different churches with
Miss Kstelle Rierson as organist.
Special solos by Mrs. Dr. It. >.
Tuttle, Mrs. A. W. Davis, Mr.
J.. Irving Holt and others have
also been imposing features of
the meeting.
A storm lasting more than
two hours visited this place Sun
day night doing quite a little
damage. The elect) ic lights
affected by the continuous pre
valence of the lightning were
put out of commission for several
hours. Lightning struck the cor
ner of the Dodson Hotel and it is
presumed that the same bolt
killed a fine cow belonging to
Mr. J. W. Fulp. Services were
being conducted at the ware
house during the storm and when
the lights went out the house
was left in total darkness with
the storm raging fiercely on the
outsiie. No pause was made
and Rev. Sprinkle continued his
splendid discourse, holding his
congregation spellbound until
the rain ceased.
Mr. J. J. Moser, an excellent
citizen and one of the best farm
ers in this section who resided a
few miles west of here, died early
Sunday morning after a brief
illness of pneumonia. Mr. Moser
was a highly respected christian
gentleman and will be sadly
missed in his neighborhood. He
leaves a wife and several children.

I Decision of County Commissioners
I To Rebuild On Old Site Not
Approved Of 15 Some.
Since the calling of a special
meeting of the county commis
i sioners for June 7th to consider
i plans for the erection of a new
| county home for Stokes, and
; since it has been decided by
! the commissioners to rebuild
on the present site of the county
home, the Reporter has heard
considerable discussion concern
ing re-locating the county home.
A year or more since
when the matter of erecting a
new county home was under
, consideration, the commissioners
; advertised for another farm and
j quite a number of places in dif
: ferent sections of the county
| were offered them, seveial of
which they inspected and con
sidered with a view to buying,
! but they failed to find at that
time a farm which they consider
!ed a desirable one on which to
locate the county home, and it is
I presumed that this ,%nd probably
, other reasons caused them to
; decide to use the present farm
|on which to locate the new
j building.
It is contended that the pres
-1 ent farm is well located, being
j almost in the center of the
county and near the court house;
that Vt is 'on one of the main,
improved highways of the coun
ty: that it has a great deal of
good timber, enough for th?
use of the home for many
■years, and that it has an
j abundance of good water, and in
| this connection it is suggested
1 that inasmuch as it is the inten
j tion of the commissioners to
install modern plumbing through
out the building, water for this
purpose may be obtained by
gravity from one or more springs
on the place which are located
higher than the building will be,
a condition' which could not be
found on any other farm in
spected. Moreover the county
| commissioners are at a loss to
| know where the necessary funds
1 would come from in case they
| should buy another farm.
| On the other hand those who
| oppose re-building on the present
' site are anxious for the commis-
I sioners to purchase or swap the
1 present county home farm for a
! more productive and better loca
ted one, even if it should be neces
sary to mortgage the place for
the funds. It is their contention
that the present farm is worn
out. that it is inaccessible and
that it is too hilly and rugged to
bear improvement. The opinion
is expressed that with a produc
tive, level farm, under the i
management of a competent
man on a salary, the county 1
home could be made self-sustain
ing instead of a constant burden
