Such an undertaking would undoubtedly attract many visitors, besides proving beneficial to our own citizens. . '. . u- il i ' . ' -:-X:" FARMERS INCOME IMPORTANT Evidence continues to accumulate that business In Duplin Coun ty this fall will be better than for several years past. It is an obvious illustration of the farmer's buying power, which removes merchandise! from local stores, and by causing our merchants to reorder, keeps the wheels of manufacturing plants busy. ',, , . ' Of course, there are sections of the United States which do not depend upon agriculture,' and consequently do not appreciate the sig nificance of farm income In appraising the economic state of the nation. In fact, we have sometimes been amazed at the failure of so-called business services to include in .their statistical calculations some index figure that would tend to show the buying power of the American farmers. 'V'-V' ' Progress has been made In retsorlng farm purchasing power, it la true, but the fact nevertheless remains that there is room for new forward strides. Let us hope that the day will soon dawn when every American farmer can find a market for all of the products of his soil at prices which will give to the farm family a standard of living com parable to that enjoyed by. other component parts of society. - OLD 'CANNON OPENS FAIR ' Dallas, Texas, September 12th The old brass cannon of Gonzales which fired the first shot of the Texas Revolution a hundred years ago, will roar defiance again Octo ber 2 to usher In the celebration of the Texas Centennial. The state-wide observance of the one-hundredth anniversary of Tex as Independence will consist of a number of celebrations at historic shrines of the state, commencing at Gonzales, and climaxed by the $19,. 000,000 Texas Centennial Exposi tion in Dallas from June to Nov ember, 1936. i, , ' :. Because Texans first took up arms at Gonzales In ' defense of their liberty,: this charming little South Texas town is known as the "Lexington of the , Lone : Star State.'? , 'i When war appeared Imminent be tween Texas and Mexico In 1835, the Mexican government demanded that the citizens of Gonzales sur render a six pounder brass cannon which had been given to them for defense against the Indians. The cannon was practically worthless having been Bpiked and the spike bored out, leaving a -touch hole as big as a silver dollar.. The demand for the gun was merely an excuse to start hostilities. , . Mexican dragoons attempted to capture the gun and the town. Tex- When in KINSTON Make Your Head quarters at E. B.
