He has 100 acres in hay from which he will gat from 200 to 250 tons an average of from 2 to 21 tons to the acre, and is already selling part of the crop &t Sv0 a ton. In other words, he is getting as much off his land as he would get for cotton, and his labor expense, he declares, is only one tourth as mucch. Two college boys J'no are with him are all the help he nas had excent, of course, improv ja implements and machinery. "I Put cither one of the college L,,ys against any two negroes in the country in getting work done," he Glares. The Progressive Farmer.

Daniel Boone is coming to Madry's opera house Wednesday night, 22nd. Let U3 do that job printing for you right away. Prices the lowest. How about that Thanksgiving tur key ? Nobody has promised us one yet. You will miss a rare treat if you fail to hear the English Opera Sing ers.'the 28th. Don't forget "The Thief" at Madry's opera house to-night (Wed nesday.) The rain for the past ten days has been damaging to the cotton that is in the field and has hindered peanut threshing. It is mud or dust, one or the other, all the time on our streets. The past few days it has been mud, and how awful. , Be sure to hear the English Opera Singers at the school auditorium the 28th. This dramatic company is said to be the best in the lyceum course. The Atlantic Coast Line good road? train will leave Richmond, Va.. about the 24th of this month. Look out for the date that this train will visit Scotland Neck later. Mr. W. B. Bulluck, of Battleboro, gives out the statement that he has gathered from 11 acres, ginned and packed, 22 bales of cotton, averag ing 437 pounds per bale, and has a good picking yet on the land. This is pretty good farming. We invite the attention especially of our saw mill men to what L. B. Walker & Company, wholesale lum ber dealers, of Norfolk, Va., have to say in their advertisement, ap pearing for the first time in this issue of The Commonwealth. Look it up right now. Mr. R. J. Mauney has completed the job of putting down the pave ment on the sidewalk leading from the drug stox-e of E. T. Whitehead Company to the Josey Hardware Company's. The improvement is noticed and complimented by every body who walks this side of the street. Mr. Justus Everett, of Palmyra, advertised fifty bushels of wheat for sale in these columns last week and sold out his supply in less than twenty-four hours after the paper was published. Advertising surely pays when you use the right medium (The Commonwealth) to let the peo ple know what you have for sale. There is a movement being put forth by the local Merchants Associ ation to secure better accommoda tions at the Atlantic Coast Line de pot. The agent s office and waiting rooms are entirely too small. The town has simply outgrown the depot. We are anxious to see these improve ments and believe if the matter is properly presented to the railroad officials they will give them to the town. Mr. R. J. Madi-y, owner and man ager of the Madry opera house, re quests us to say that beginning with tonight, (Wednesday) the curtain will rise promptly at 8:30 o'clock at all plays given at his house. This notice is final and will be strictly ob served. Let everybody be on time and take in the play from the rise of the curtain. "Daniel Boone on the Trail.' Nothing has created the excite ment in a long time as will the ar rival of "Daniel Boone on the Trail" with its tribe of Sioux Indians, cag es of Siberian wolves and trailing doss. Manager Robt. H. Harris has spared no expense in framing this big production. The story of the play follows closely the historv of Daniel Boone when he invaded Ken tucky, then a wilderness infested with Indians and wild beasts. When Boone's cabin is burned it is done bv real Indians, who give their bloodthirsty yells and war dance in the reflectio of the flames When Boone had to figth for his life with wolves, it i3 the real beasts that have been trained to at- tacthim. This is one of the most daring scenes ever attempted on any stage. Not a single detail has been over looked. A noted scenic artist spent several weeks at Boone's old home in Kentucky in order to reproduce the exact atmosphere. A strong cast has been selected and those who witness the perform ance of this play will see a real live exciting melo-drama, as true to life as it is possible to produce. "Daniel Boone on the Trail" will be seen at the Madry opera house one night Wednesday November 22. Mrs. Purrlngton Entertains. On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 11th, "The Round Table Club" was de lightfully entertained by Mrs. A. L. Purrington: The subject under dis cussion was. Scotland, on which were read most interesting and instruct ive papers. Mrs. W. H. Josey being absent, the presidents chair was filled by Mrs. Chas. Albertson, who called the meeting to order promptly at 4 o'clock, after which an excellent program was rendered. "Edinburgh and Edinburgh Castle" by Mrs. Chas. Albertson was well worth hearing, then Miss Sallie Baker gave a very instructive talk on "Gretna Green" followed by a read ing "The University and other plac es of interest" by Miss Margaret Bowers. Mrs. J. S. Bowers next gave a very interesting reading on the "Incidents in connection with the Scottish castles." Mrs. G. Hoff man was on program for "Current Events" but being absent was read by different members of the club, War. Politics and Woman Rights be ing discussed. After being thor oughly convinced of "Womans Rights" the guests were ushered in to the beautifully decorated dining room where refreshments were serv ed by Mrs. Purrington assisted by Miss Cornelia Josey. Those present were, Mesdames J. B. Aiken, Ander son, C. W. Albertson, J. S. Bowers, Dickerson, Robert Coleman, C. H. Herring, A. C. Livermon, O. L. Powers, G. S. White, E. T. White head, and Misses Sallie Baker, Mar garet Bowers Cornelia Josey, Bessie Hancock and Mary M. Smith. Each one left declaring Mrs. Pur rington a charming hostess, and hop ing her turn would come again soon. At the Slate Farm. The public sale of horses and mules at the State farm near Tillery Tuesday drew quite a crowd. The stock sold at fair prices and especial ly was this true of the young moun tain horses offered by Congressman R. L. Doughton, of Alleghany county. Our visit was made quite pleasant and interesting by a look through the camps. We found everything clean and well arranged and the health of the convicts good, and those we talked with expressed themselves in the highest terms of the management. Camp No. 1 is looked after by Supt. Christian and No. 2 by Supt. C.J. Rhem. These are men of ex perience and thoroughly understand their business. Dr. F. M. Register looks well after the health of the camps, and Capt. J J. Laughinhouse has a watchful eye over the entire premises. The work of gathering the crops, which is the best, possibly, in the history of the farm, is well under way, yet there is lots of work to be done. The day at the farm was very pleasantly spent and all visitors spent the time well. The Rev. Irl R. Kicks 1912 Almanac. Before the great drouth of 1901, the Hicks Almanac gave timely warning. For over two years prior to 1911, the Hicks Almanac again sounded aborning of drouth danger. And so for forty years this same friend of all the people has stead fastly refused the offers of specula tors and continued to to warn the public of the coming dangers of of storm and weather. As they should have clone, the people have nobly stood by Pi.i.sor Hicks, their faithful public servant, who has grown old in their service. Send only one dollar to Word and Works Publishing Company, 2401 Franklin Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, and get his Magazine and Almanac both for one yer. The Almanac, alone, a fine book of 150 pages, is only 352. by mail. Let everybody respond and receive the warnings of our National Seer for the coming year. Bogus llolh. What is paint? Some people think anything labelled "paint" is paint, but there's difference, just as much as between one kind of cloth and another. Cioth nine-ter.ths cotton and one-tenth wool, is bogus cloth. Cloth all woVi wears to thelirr.it. Paint at a price between 75 cents and $1.50 is like bogus cloth. Mhe L. & M. Paint is all wool and wears to the limit. There's a reason.
