W. railway and stopping here
Friday afternoon for two hours.
An effort will be made to close
all business houses and accord
the distinguished educators who

attendance. The lectures and
demonstrations to be given will
be well worth the time of busi
ness men as well as the farmer?.

STOKES BOr IN OHIO
Glad To Hear of Progress
Stokes Is Making Along
Many Lines --- Coming
Back Sometime.
Youngstown, 0., Nov. 27.
Danbury Reporter :
Your notification concerning
|my subscription has been re
ceived. I wish to say that I
1 appreciate your policy of notify
| ing in advance your subscribers
, ; when their subscription expires,
j This enables us to know just
! how we stand. Enclosed jou will
! find one dollar toward another
year's subscription.
I am glad to know of the re
cent improvement in the hepor
. ter which makes it one of the
best papers I know of for the
money. During the past six
years I have been out of Stokes
county most of the time and I
have always looked forward to
1 the day on which I received the
Reporter. I can best describe
I how glad I am to get it by sim
ly saying that it is more like
; getting a letter from home than
anything else I know to com
pare it with. Having spent
i most of my life in Stokes county
| and still looking forward to
spending more of it there,-! ant
naturally interested in all good
movements which go towards
making it a better place in
which to live.
I am glad that a majority of |
the citizens in some sections of
the county have already seen
the wisdom of building better 1
roads, and I hope the time is not
far distant when more of the
peop'e will come into a further
realization of the importance of
co-operation in such matters as
road building, marketing farm
products, and the building up of
better schools.
The Farmers Union should j
never have been allowed to run ;
down as it has. Such organiza- j
tions among the farmers in some i
parts of the country are to a I
'degree responsible for their pros-J
j perity. For example, we have
reliable authority that Citrus
! Fruit growing in Southern Cali
j fonia would be a losing industry
for the farmers in that section
[ but for their efficient plan of
marketing their product through
! the Citrus Fruit Growers Un
-1 ion. The same is true with
j regard to the grain growers in
the middle west who are selling
their grain directly to the miller
or shipping it for expoit through
j their own central agents. Among
I the other good things which are
j coming to Stokes people, I hope
to see Ur.icr re
vived,
I urn Kind to say that wherevet
I SfO 1 heai' North Carolinians
well spoken of, and meet many
people whose ancestors came
from The Old North State. An-
I other tiling that I am glad to
find here in the North, as well
is in the Scuth, is that the old
civil war strife has about died
| out and we are becoming in
i reality, a reunited country.
As to my present work, I will
say that I am serving as one of
i the twelve secretaries in the
I Young Mens' Christian Associa
[ tion here at Youngstov/n, Ohio,
| and am enjoying it very much.
| Previous to my coming to
I Youngstown I had not heard
j much about this industrious city
and never thought of its being
among the first cities of the
Union in steel pnduction. It is
needless to say that the steel
mills are quite interesting to a
person who has never seen them
before. Equally as interesting
are the big shops which we are
sorry to say are being worked
to their full capacity now. To
look on the implements of war
manufactured here and to know
their purpose is to be sorry for
j the people for whom they are
: intended and glad that we are
I citizens of a great country that
I is not war-ridden.
With all good wishes for the
1 c mtinued success of the Repor
j ter and the people back in Stokes,
j I remain,
Your friend,
H. A. CARROLL.
A Jitney Line Between
Cermanton and Winston.
Germanton,Nov.27, - Now that
Germanton has improved high
ways leading out in all directions,
the people of this section are be
ing brought more and more in
touch with all surrounding points.
As an evidence of the fact, a
jitney line is today being put on
from Germanton to Winston-
Salem. The car will make two
trips daily between these points,
at the very low rate of (50 cents
for the round trip. It would be
hard to estimate the value, which
this should be to the people of
this community.
