Meeting cf Tobacco
Men In Durham.
On last Monday there was a
meeting of the warehousemen of
this section in Durham. It
is learned the meeting was held
for the purpose of creating more
harmony among the, different
markets, and to do away with
the unhealthy rivalry which has
existed between gome of the
markets. It is hoped by plans
which are to be worked out that
the interest of the farmer is to
be bettered. Some twelve or
fifteen markets were represent
ed. Roxboro Tobacco Mar
ket Loses A Good Man.
We Learn that Mr. R. B. Ter
rell, who was connected with the
Planters Warehouse here last
year, is to be connected with the
Mebane market the coming year.
While we congratulate Mebane
upon .securing this splendid man
we realize that this market has
lost one of its best men. He will
mean much to the Mebane mar
ket. WWVVWTWVVVWWVWWVV

OLD Ml
Annual Gathering of the Old
Guards on May 10th Feast
of Good Things Prepared By
the Daughters.
May 10th is always a glad day
liere, for on that day the faithful
few of the 0!d Confederates gath
er to hold their annual meeting
and to dine with' ti e Daughters.
JEf seemed that the meeting on last
Wednesday was probably the
most enjoyable these noble old
soiils have ever had. The speak
er selected for the occassion was
tunable to be with them, and they
Were unable to secure any one to
take his place. However, there
:were plenty of local speakers who
fibok up the time allotted, and all
seemed to think it was no bad
idea, substituting home men. The
following delivered short and
Y-
Simely addresses: J. H. Burch,
Commander of Gamp Jones, S. G
Winstead, S. P. Gentry, A. R.
Fotisbee, R. A. Burch and Rev.
I&rfi Dpwd. Mrs.; J., A. Long,
wlio is deeply interested in the er-
yn of a. monument m memory
of Person County's soldiers, read
a most excellent paper, calling on
every one interested to make a
contribution. At the close of
Mrs. Long's address a collection
wasiaken and more than
ffis&aised for the monumenl. j
-Mr. H; Burch read - the fol-
"DBkrromrades aruCFeliow:
uiuzens oi rersonruoumy: ou
all know that I am hot accustdm
ed 'attempting a speech. I arise;
to rester my approval of a move
that is being made by our Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, looking
towards the erection of a monu
ment here in our town, ht Rox
boro that will be a fitting tribute
to the memory of our beloved
Comrades of old Person County,
who fought so bravely, and so
nobly, upon the tosing side of
that great Civil struggle of the)
60's. !'
i' '
ktI want to submit a few plain
facts. First, I want to say, that
old Person furnished to the cause
of the Confederacy her pro rata
of men. I want to say, that, I
lived through those trying year
of the war, I've experienced some
thing of the hardships endured of
the great suffering and sacrifice.
I've witnessed on the field of bat
tle the daring, the bravery, the
heroism of the sons of old Person
and I want to say they made h
good soldiers as ever answered
the bugle call to battle, and as one
by one they were numbered with
the dead upon the different battle
fields they were ever found among
those who had fallen nearest to
the line of the enemy. It is to
such noble sons that the Daugh-
mm '?'
ters of the Confederacy proposer
ro erect a monument, and it is t)ie
fond ho;e of the Daughters that
every old soldier, and all who lost
friends or relatives in that strug
gle make a contribution, and make
that contribution as large as pos
sible. In many of the Counties
of our State and elsewhere I've
seen monuments erected to their
Confederates dead, we are as ifi
nancially able as many of them,
so my friends and Comrades; let
us come willingly and liberally to
the support of this worthy 'cause,
and pay a like tribute to the Ifall
en - heroes of old Person.' f 1 r

answered the last bugle call, since

are now 114 on the roll call, but
ere many years pass by these old
