HearD about TowN Our good friend, Mr. John D. Winstead Jumped on us for statin* that the tobacco crop had not suf fered materially from the drought Well now, really we do not think at the time the article was written that the crops had suffered very much, but we regret we could not truthfully say no wthat they had not suffered, for they have. In looking arround the other day In a drive out into the country we find that crops, both corn and tobacoo, does not look so well as it Hid a few weeks since; of couase. If we can_ have rain soon there will yet be good crops, but rain is very much needed. However, we venture the assertion that If any one makes good crops, of both corn and tobacco, John D. will do It; he Is one of our real farmers and somehow always man ages to raise not only good tobacco, but has corn and hay to sell his neighbors. \* * * Another good fanner who is"wl ways to be reckoned with when you start out to find real farmers Is our friend Mr. John H. Foushee; he has some of the finest corn to be seen, but It too, is needing rain. Well, friends, we kinder feel like the late Judge D. W. Bradsher, "what ever Is to be will be. If It never does be," and every thing will work out for the best. Let's no{ cross the. bridge until we get to - It, It wiTT rain in due season. We kinder agree with our friend Charlie Williams; he says that Nat Jordan and the writer have laid down on him. and he is having to give all of his time to headquarters. Well, since Dr. Tucker has got a Job and gone on duty! and Nat we believe is just naturally too lazy to stir about this hot weather?and we are also down with the same terrible malady, it is pretty hard on Char lie, but we promise as soon as we have a' good rain and the thermo '.neter drops about 40 degrees we will report for duty. Times may be hard, and the New Deal may not have done all that it should have done, but something has happened; the folks have money or mighty good credit .for standing in front of our office door right now are four cars in sight, all save one less than six months old. The lunch clubs, the Rotarians and the Kiwanians, as they are sometimes called, are supposed to sponsor any an<^ everything which will be for the betterment of the town and community, and right now we know of nothing more worthwhile than to get behind a chamber of commerce. The town is suffering for want of some one whose business it would be to look after any and all movements for the good of the town and county. What ts everybody's business is nobody's business, and that is Roxboro's con dition today. Just because it did not work just as you thought it shouldflhave worked is no reason why we should not try it again. Rev. W. F. West, one of the best loved ministers of this town, is also a booster proper for Roxboro. Sat urday he had occasion to visit Greensboro and while there called on the secretary of the chamber of commerce and took up the matter of Route 144. This, if you will look at a road map. is the most direct route from Greensboro and points North to Richmond, the route at present is completed from Burling ton to a point on Route 62. when you strike about 12 miles of sand clay; just about a mile of this sand clay is in Person county, where you again get on hard surface. Contract has been let for about six miles from Roxboro to Virgilina, leaving a gap of about ten miles on the northern end. Mr. West says Greens boro is interested in this road; after leaving Greensboro he had. a very pleasant talk with Mr. Mitchell, sec retary of Burlington chamber of commerce, who was likewise inter ested in the projpct. If all of us will get busy, as has Mr. west, we will soon see something doing on this long delayed and much needed road project. - -- ? -o Pttt County cotton giowerA re ceived $30,000 recently as a payment on rentals of cotton land taken from production this year According to contract. 6 6 6 Liquid.

Unable To Get Labor Tarboro. July 18.?A report has reached here that a fanner who re sides within a few miles of this city has been unable to secure labor with which to gather his tobacco crop. It was stated that he would ^have to wait for a neighbors laborers to help him as some of them on relief would no* work Bird's Eye View By F. O. Carver, Jr. The only energy that disturbs the peacef ulness of the hot weather this week is that which comes from the contestants in the tennis tournament that is being sponsored by the Ro tary and Kiwanis Clubs. Bo far pair ings have been drawn and a few of the preliminary matches have been played, but nothing like near all of I them have even gotten a chance to jplay yet. MQ6t of the playing 1st be ing done on the court of Bick Long land the court belonging to Ca-Vel (Circle. Every day you see these folks who are promoting it around j talking in little groups about the matches, when they are going to be j played and speculating on the probably winner In each. Oh well, (the good old summer time, when the thermometer never seems to quit [going up is the time for such ener getic fellows as tennis and baseball [players while we other luckless fel lows have to sit back and watch the fun, enduring the heat as well as we can. But. really there Is a lot; of fuss about this tournament and we hope the best man wins. The community house. What can we say about the community house this time. Last week We said that they had started work on it, and we must admit that this was a big improvement over what has been done there in weeks heretofore. But as yet we can not see any' signs, of any work having been done. Now! we know'that we are neither engi-! [neers, nor contractors, nor carpen ters and that perhaps we are show-j ing the impatience of, the. ordinary layman when we say that we .see' no signs of anything having been done. But, honestly, we are so anx-) ious about the community house, be cause we do not wish to see barri cades put up around this project which was the fate of cne of our I local projects a few weeks hence. So lets keep the barricades down and the old chin up, and pretty soon we'll be having a house warming in the new community house.
