FIRST HELP SELF
"The gods help those who first j
help themselves," is an adage with',]
much truth, and will continue to Del
true. For many moons we have
been hearing that prosperity wasp
just around the corner; tru^ we do t
not hear it quite so often now, but 1
apparently we are not yet entirely ic
around that corner where we can I
look prosperity squarely in the face, c
though we may get a side-glance at ji
the old fellow. If we would follow,
the adage quoted above prosperity
would soon be in evidence here in 1
this good town and County; for in- j1
stance, what if every merchant in c
Roxboro stocked only towels which 5
are manufactured here; or brooms c
made here in Roxboro; or gave the 1
farmer who had vegetables for sale!1
the first choice. True, the farmers ?
of this section do not raise enough
vegetables to supply the market, but
if the farmer felt he was going to
dispose of his surplus he would not
hesitate to bring it here; or if the
miller was sure he would find a
1
market for his flour, or his meal he
would depend on the market and
would bring it in? but as it is, many
of the good housewives will not use
home-ground flour, or meal, but will
insist that the merchant stock out-'
side brandy, because they are a
shade whiter. If we made up our!
minds that we were going to buy
home-grown or home-made articles
then the manufacturer and the
farmer would take more Interest in
catering to the wants of the mer- '
chants.
And again, if there was this feel-!
ing of friendliness with the manu- ]
ii
facturer, and especially the farmer, ]
we mould ha^ settled satisfactorily
the question of marketing what to
bacco is raised in this County; with ]
such treatment for the fanners they It
Just naturally would have a closer *
fellow feeling for Roxboro and ,
would try to do everything in their 1
power to help build up the town. '
You Just can not befriend a person1,
without that person having a kindly
feeling for you. and such would be
the ea=e with Rcxboro; treat the
fanner as you would have the farm
er treat you, and you will solve ajl |
of the county problems as far as 1
the farmer patronizing the home J
town is concerned. |
We would like to go a bit further, 1
we wish that every merchant In!
Roxboro would refuse to stock any ;
article other than that made In/
II
North. Carolina; there are few things
needed which can not be found (
manufactured in this State, that is.
? in the way of wearing materials.
home necessities, etc. Of course. It J
might be necessary to carry some
lines other than those made here, J
because they are not now accessible. ,
but it would not be very long before '
they would be manufactured here. .
I
and if such a policy was adopted/
then we would have prosperity, real'
prosperity with every one?the man- ,
ufacturer. the merchant and the I

In about ten weeks the tobacco
markets of the old belt will open, l

and It Is none too soon for our
warehouses to settle down to bust- j
nens and begin to jnake ready for 1
the opening. The market here 1,881,1

;rop has been cut sharply this year,
ind the poundage will be very much

idjoining markets to get a goodly!
jortlon of this crop, as they have'

??ears, then our market will make a
iecided poor showing.
"Keeping everlastingly at it brings
ruccess," is the motto of one of the
argest advertising concerns, and it
s Just as true for the warehouse

Death of Jennie E. Oliver
On Dec. 20, 1914, death visited the
home of D. L. Oliver, and claimed
our loving mother.
She was sixty-nine years old. She.
had been In feeble health for two
years or more.
She leaves nine children: Mrs.
Lizzy. Covington of Reldsvllle, Mrs.1
Hattie Oliver of Yanceyville, Mrs. j
Lollie Davis of Jerico, Mr. John Ol-I
iver of Hightowers, Mrs. Annie Rice
and Messrs. Llhdsey, Jim,.gam and
Marvin Oliver of Roxboro, to moum,
for their loving mother. She was of1
a Primitive Baptist belief, but had
never joined any church.
She told the writer not long be
fore she died, she had a good hope,
and she believed she would be bet-!
ter off after death. ]
Oh! What a comfort it is to our^
sad hearts to think that mother U
in heaven, waiting for her dear chil
dren, and grandchildren of whom
she loved so dear.
Mother has only paid the debt we
have all got to pay. May the good
Lord help us to be submissive to his
will, and say thy will be done not
our's.
She was loved by all who knew
her.
She was tenderly laid to rest at
Leas Chapel, to await the Resur
rection Morn.
The kind friends that were so
nice to her during her sickness and
death will be always remembered
by the family.?A loved one.
