Magistrate: “What is this man
charged with?”
Officer: “Bigotry, your honor, he’s
got three wives.”
“Your father is an old crank,”
said the youth who had been told by
her father that it was time to go.
Her father overheard the remark.
“A crank is necessary in case of the
lack of a self-starter,” he retorted.

Mr. Donald Dunlop, the Kinston

they did defeat us by one point.

The Roxboro Courier
Established 1881—Under Same Management 54 Years
If we have had any success it has been due to the fact that
we have tried to publish a newspaper which could be read in any
home, which gave the news of the County without bias or
prejudice. In short, we have tried to publish a real newspaper,
which meant something to each individual reader, the County,
the Town, and the State.
This policy shall continue to rule in this shop, and when we
have to deviate from such a policy The Courier will be for sale.
Help us to make it a better paper that it may serve in a larger
way.
Coca-Cola Bottling Works
0. B. McBroom, Owner
The above business was begun in January, 1910, by W. E.
Osteen, under the name of Roxboro Bottling Works. The present
owner assumed management February of the same year, and has
managed the business for the past 28 years. At that time Lemon,
Orange, Cherry, Strawberry, Root Beer, and Ginger Ale were
being bottled. In August, 1911, a contract was secured to bottle
Coca-Cola, in addition to the above flavors.
The business was done mostly on credit and without deposit
on case and bottles until 1916, when it went on a cash basis, and
in 1919 the name was changed to the Coca-Cola Bottling Works.
In 1927 all flavors were discontinued with the exception of Coca-
Cola, which has been bottled exclusively since then.
For the past 20 years the business has been conducted strictly
on a cash basis with a deposit on case and bottles, and all cus
tomers, both big and little, are treated as nearly alike as possible.

Why Can’t We Have
Student Government?
(Continued from page 1)
to pass an examination without doing
any mental work at all.
Other high schools have student
government, and have made it a suc
cess. Roxboro high school can do the
same, but we must have the coopera
tion of every pupil and every teacher
to make it a success.
Student government does not have
as its aim, to establish a group of
people to tattle on others, neither
does it promote a “bossy” spirit. Its
purpose is for all to show disapproval
of anything that isn’t what it should
be on every class, throughout the
building, and on the campus.
Every student should be proud of
his school and want to see it appear
then departed, expressing a most
enjoyable time.
Industrial Arts Has A Definite
Place In School Curriculum
(Continued from page one)
It is an incidental part of the course
being taught. There are two classes
taught a day, each lasting three
hours.
Problems made in the shop range
from what-nots to garages. Some of
the problems made this year are book
shelves, magazine racks, foot stools,
plant stands, tool boxes, and tables,
as a leader of high schools.
Miss Bowers has started student
government in her sixth period study
hall, and although a small seed
planted, we hope to see it grow into
an organization that will mean a
great deal to our school.
The members of the Council are
as follows: Ann Brewer, Helen Hall,
Earl Wade, Evelyn Long, Lewis
Adams, Clyde Whitt, Merritt Fou-
shee, Nellie Pleasants, Nancy Broks.
We are asking fro your coopera
tion and hope that every teacher and
every pupil of the Roxboro High will
gladly and willingly help us to make
student government a great success.
—Evelyn Long.

ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
An orphan, at the age of 14 years, I came to Roxboro in 1888, from
Woodsdale, my old home, a village seven miles north of Roxboro, named
for my grandfather, who settled there something over 100 years ago.
During the first ten years of my life in Roxboro, I attended school
and worked for the firms of C. H. Hunter and W. J. Johnson &
Cmpany, both of whom were in the grocery business.
In 1901 I went into the grocery business for myself, in a small
building where the First National Bank building now stands. I later
moved to the Merritt building, now occupied by Pender’s store, and
operated there until the growing need for more space caused me to
erect the building I now occupy, in 1921.
For the last 47 years I have served the people of Roxboro and Person
County in the capacity of Grocer and Seed Merchant, and for the past
37 years have operated my own business, under the policy of “Square
dealings to my fellow man, regardless of race, or creed,” and I am
deeply grateful to those of the past and present who gave, and are
giving me, their patronage and support. I believe that “Courtesy” pays
the highest dividends, and costs nothing, and you are always assured of
a courteous reception by me and my sons when you visit this establish
ment.

Prior to the opening of the Princess Theatre on January 28, 1918,
Roxboro had been without a theatre for about eighteen months. The
Princess was located in the building now occupied by the Carolina
Power and Light Company, and boasted 250 seats—quite a large theatre
for Roxboro in those days, with its population of approximately 1,600.
On October 24, 1924, the new Palace Theatre opened in its present
location. The seating capacity of this theatre more than doubled that
of the old Princess. It also had a balcony, which was later divided to
provide a place for colored patrons.
On April 9, 1935, the Dolly Madison, with a seating capacity of 335,
was opened in order to accommodate the rapidly increasing population
of Roxboro. Already it has become necessary to increase the seating-
capacity of the Dolly Madison, and plans have been completed by the
architect for a balcony to be added in the near future.
During the twenty years that we have been in the theatre business,
it has been our aim to give theatre-goers of Roxboro the very best in
entertainment. From time to time, welcome and helpful suggestions
have been made by our patrons, which have proven valuable to us in our
effort to improve the courteous and efficient service it has always been
our policy to render.
