A PINAL TRIBUTE
Tribute must here be paid to the
late James Yancey Monk, who guid
ed the establishment and destiny of
the Farmvilie Tobacco market m its
early years and successfully operat
ed Monk's warehouse from 1907 to
the time of his lamented passing,
May 1941.
Coming to Farmvilie 1907, two
years after the Farmvilie market
mas- established, he had personally
conducted leaf- sales on the same
site for S3 years when death put an
end to his active career. Fhrmville's
profound sorrow waa mingled with
gratitude and pride . . . gratitude
for having known one of Nature's
noblemen and called him friend, and
pride in the honor he brought to this
community as a progressive citizen,
and in his salient service as leader
in bringing prestige to the Farmvilie
tobacco market TV> thousands the
name of Monk is synonymous with the
Farmvilie market
J* Y.'s entire life was interwoven
with tobacco interests. He traveled
tiie main highways and back roads
of Eastern North Carolina for "many
years in his endeavor to bring pa
trons to this market, thousands of
whom found when they reached
Farmvilie, a man, who gave with his
warm handclasp a wealth of human
* sympathy and understanding. He
knew thousands of people by their
names. Few other figures in the
history of Farmville's business life
can lay claim to higher rank in the
hearts of its people and in the esteem
of rich and poor, black and white.
Though his personal interests were
strong, they were not the'dominant
force in his undertakings, for J. Y.
K was primarily concerned in the ex-,
pension of the Farmvilie market and
the ultimate results .. the bearing of
the material fruits of prosperity and
happiness to people of this communi
ty.
* The methods and policies advocat
ed by Mr. Monk have proven soond
and adequate and the results have
drawn the attention of the entire to
bacco world to this market . . . this
is said in view of a statement broad
cast on a coast to coast radio pro
gram in recent years to the effect
that Monk's warehouse for several
seasons had sold more tobacco under
one roof than any other in the world
. . .tangible evidence of his success
ful methods.
Belief in the destiny at Farmville
as a great marketing certer, animated
the man from the time of his coming
until his going again, and J. T. set
himself to a task of great magnitude
in fulfillment of his dream. He ad
vocated and bant all of his efforts
towards a con si stent improvement
and development of marketing fa
cilities until he snr a model tobaeco
market brought into ori stance and
thp gates at opportunity flung wide
in thia community.
A man of natural cordiality, en
thusiasm and without peer in the
yeafcn of Ms activity, he worked ttts
lesel^in the interest of Farmville,
and in winning for the market; the
^cognition ly isught, he won the.

FRIEND FARMER
Hie farmer knows that America
is definitely going forward, and the
sum total of that progress shall be
seen in the better way of life the
greater number of its people shall
enjoy, through their higher stand
ard of firing. -
Rural electrification has brought
light and freedom from the most
arduous toil to hundreds of thou
sands who work the farms for the
nation's sustenance. Low priced
means of transportation, and more
far reaching free schools, libraries
and museums, are giving them a
well balanced life and making them
a thinking people, vitally concerned
with every measure taken by the
government, and by industry.
Such a people as the fanners,
whoee interests are not only for
themselves, but for the nation as a
whole, are contributing to that very
unity which shall be the most pow^
erful factor in the new era of Amer
ican progress.
At our invitation the Governor of
North Carolina and other officials
of the many branches of State and
nation, whose time and thoughts are
devoted to agriculture and who have
their fingers on the pulse of this
industry, will speak in the pages
of this issue to cur farmer friends,
and we appeal to you to read these
timely messages carefully and of
ten, as they are based on the pres
ent world and national situation in
regards to matters that effect you
primarily. t
It would be a splendid idea to pre
serve this copy of the Enterprise and
use it as a source at reference in
connection with the warehouse and
merchandising firms and for this in
formation in regard to certain phases
of agriculture, which will be very
helpful in the months to come.
We would like to express our
grateful appreciation at this time to
Governor Broughton, the State De
partment of Agriculture, and the
U. & Department of Agriculture for
their splendid assistance in giving us
timely articles by their specialists,
and to Mr. John T. Thorne, one of
our own citizens, who is president
of the North Carolina Cotton Grow
ers Cooperative Association for the
interview, which is being printed in
this issue.
This issue was planned first, of
oourse, to bringing the advantages
offend by warehousemen and mer
chants of Farmville to the attention
of farmers; secondly, to stress the
necessity for cooperating fully with
the administration's defense program
of Full Speed Ahead, and to give
the farmers such information as will
be valuable to them in carrying for
ward their part of this vast pro
gram. ..

Looking Ahead
Characterizes
Officials' Policy
? 1 1 . r''\ ?
The policy of looking ahead has
characterised the administration of
the present Mayor, George W. Da
vis, and the'town board, which is
composed of Dr. W. M. Willis, J. W.
Joyner, R. 0. Lang, J. M. Stansill
and R. LeRoy Rollins.
Mayor Davis is serving his third
term, a period of marked advance
ment and several of the board mem
bers have been rendering faithful
and efficient service to the town
for ten years and more. The ef
forts of City Clerk; R. A. Joyner,
and W. A. McAdams, Superintendent
of the Water and Light Department,
have contributed in large measure
to the success of the municipal un
dertakings for more than 20 years.
This looking-ahead policy has
marked a new era for the town and
represents the major wfactor in its
progress. The achievements of the
administration for the past few years
have been a triumph of ambitious
thought and coordination with Fed
eral forces in the successful culmi
nation of various civic projects,
which have provided the town with
a recreational center and improve
ments so vast as to almost be un
believable, the span of years has
been so short Paramount in these
opportunities for advancement, which
town authorities foresaw and grasp
ed, was the provision of employ
ment for hundreds of jobless men
and women during these years.
The meritorious progress, written
in the history of Farmville under
.i ?
will be celebrated hy the showing
