DAN BURY REPORTER - VOLUME XLIII. MM NtllE AFAIR: Citizen Thinks Walnut Cove ; the Logical Point For i " j Such An Enterprise. BAPTISING SUNDAY' I Death Of N oun* Lady A Oueer Spectacle Capt. I.andreth | On the Weather—Person als and Other Items From Walnut Cove. Walnut Cove, July 13. - The! remains of Mary Emily, the! eleven year old daughter of Mr. l and Mrs. Levi Lackey, of Wins ton-Salem, and the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. R. Lackey of this place, arrived here Monday on | the afternoon train and were carried to the family burying ground near Lawsonville where interment took place today. The little girl passed away early Monday morning at the City Hospital in Winston-Salem after an illlness of several days of appendicitis. Her parents, four brothers and four sisters survive. As a result of the recent revival meetings held here a few weeks since by Rev. J. W. Ham five persons were baptized Sun day afternoon in the pool near the Baptist church by the pastor, Rev. A. L. McLendon. Services were held at the Baptist church immediately after the baptizing ceremonies. A queer spectacle, humorous :in its aspect, greeted the sight seers on the streets late Sunday afternoon when a large auto mobile approached drawn by the motive power of a horse and a mule. In the car were seated six stalwart young men who had started out for a pleasure trip from Mayodan to the mountains of Stokes. The usual thing occurred, the engirt Stopped and for reasons of its own . re mained immovable. As a last resort the mule and horse were pressed into service to tow the ponderous machine to a repair shop at this place. After depos iting the burden in the garage the young fellows walked over to the station in the face of a strong rain and secured a berth on the northbound freight. Capt. W. P. Landreth, who is Muite a novice aiong agricultural lines as well as a proficient mechanic, was on the street Saturday demonstrating some big, juicy red strawberries which grew as a second crop this year. The captain speculates on weath er conditions somewhat and he informs us that if it rains on the first Dog Day it will rain each day for forty days. Only a few drops fell here on that day and according to the conclusions drawn the next six weeks will be seasonable but not to extreme. A progressive citizen casually asked the other day why Walnut •Cove could not ha?e a fair. He -wisely stated that this was the logical point for a county fair on j account of its accessibility toj every section of the county and that one of the warehouses could | be used for an exhibit hall. It; would be a great step toward ! establishing a close relationship j between the faimer and the i business man while the capital! required would be a small matter. I It is a question for the wide awake board of trade to consider. ! Mr. and M rs. W. G. Dud son and daughter. Miss Willie, spent Saturday and Sunday at Pied mont Springs. Messrs.

I I Farmers Institutes will be i hold in Stokes at Walnut Cove ;on August sth and at Dillard on ! August 12th. At the same times ' and places Institutes for women i i will be held and the public is cordiailv invited to attend, j Mr. T. B. I'arker. who is the j director of the Farmers Institu tes to be held in the State, j writes as follows: j Farmers' Institutes have pas | sed the experimental stage. The , development along ail agricul-i : turai lines is a silent testimony 'of their worth to the farmers of I the State. But we are not con jtent with past achievements, j \Ve want to go forward and lend ( our influence to a still higher agricultural development. This year we are laying em- 1 phasis on diversification of crops; soil improvement: more live i stock; more corn, wheat, oats, j hav, etc.. so as to make our | farms self supporting and enable ' our farmers to keep the money ! at home that has heretofore: ! been going to other states to ! purchase the things that we J should grow at home. Any thing that you can say to heln bring the farmers out to the institutes, and help bring about, the wholesome condition of grow-, ing our own feed and food pro-, ducts will be greatly appreciated. It is our purpose to hold women's institutes in connection with the institutes for men. We want the farmers' wives and daughters to attend these in stitutes. While the men are discussing the more important topics of health, food for the family, how to lighten women's work, the care of children, the value of a garden, the necessity of fresh milk and butter in the home, and a number of other ' things that lie close to the hearts of the women on th* farm.
