HUTCHENS LIKES MISSOURI. Thinks It It A Much Better Country Than North Carolina—Land Is Cheap. Ellsiraore, Mo., Dec. 27. Editor of the Reporter : Please find enclosed check for subscription to the Reporter. I oannot do without the paper. I always go to the postoffice prompt ly when the Reporter is due to get all the news from home. I have been in this country nearly a year, and am well satis fied. I think this is a whole lot better country than N ort h Car olina. Wages are from $1.25 to $3 00 per day. Uncultivated land where the timber has been cut sells at 75 oents to $1.50 per acre. Timbered land sells from $.50 to $5.00 per acre. Cultivated lauds are worth from $7.50 to $15.00 per acre. The best grade of flour sells at $2.40 per hundred : meal, $1.20 per hundred; eggs, 25 cents per dozen ; butter, 20 cents per pound; potatoes, SI.OO per bushel; apples, SI.OO per bushel. This country is very thinly set tled. There is plenty of wild game here, red and grey foxes, j coons, deer, wild turkeys, squir-1 rels, grey Bquirrels, rabbits, and' some few wolves. There is not any stock law here and stock raising is a growing in | duatry. Hogs sold last week on the St. Louis live stock market at $5.60 to $6 40 per hundred pounds. Cattle at 4.00 to $7.00 per hundred pounds. This place is 144 miles south of St. Louis. The election passed off quietly here in this county (Carter). It went Democratic by 160 majority, while the State went Democratic by i 6,000. I will olose for this time, wish ing the Reporter and all of my ac quaintances a most happy and prosperous new year. H. F. HUTCHENS. North Carolina Leads By 18,000,000 Pounds. The United States government figures for the past fiscal year show that more tobacco of various kinds was manufactured in North Carolina than in any other State in the Union, the number of pouuds being 86,000,000. Missouri oame second with 67,000,000 lbs. Of the entire 85,000,000 pounds of tebaoco manufactured in North Carolina over thirty million were manufactured in Wiuston-Salem. THE RIGHT NAME.

Which brings to mind that a goat is by far the most interest ing speoimen of the animal king dom. A goat generally makes him self at home anywhere and under all circumstances. He will butt in whether the company be seleot or not. Caste never troubles his bearded physiognomy. He is no way particular about his diet which renders him less unwel come than the summer boarder, and was never known to have dys pepsia, which adds good humor to his sagacity. He eats indiscrim inately anything from old shoes to plow pointß. The tomato can is his favorite viand. We knew a goat once that was penned in a lot enclosed with barbed wire fence, with rich juicy grass to eat on. He first ate the fence and then swallowed the lot of grass. Hail and good-day to Tom Pe tree's goat. Long may he live to cast lustre on the most intellectual species of bis kind, and to keep Dan bury's streets devoid of bits of glass, pottery, tinware and bad little boys. SANDY RIDGE ROUTE 1.

I wish to say a few words to the teachers of Stokes in regard to the betterment of school work. Oar association has not had a regular meeting in some time, and some teachers from other counties have not been enrolled as mem bers, but we want every white teacher in the public schools of Stokes county to consider them selves members and to go to work and do all they can to beautify and improve their houses and and grounds, by hanging curtains or shades and pictures in the houses and cleaning off the grounds, grubbing up stumps, etc. There was some praise worthy work done last year by some of the teacher*, but we hope more will be done this year. While Stokes is not in the lead in this work, the reports read in the State Betterment Association last June show that it is up with some other counties and ahead of a good many. A good plan is for each teacher to organize an association in the sohool district and have the pat rons and children as members, get them interested, and then get their help and sympathy. Our Association gave a prize last year to the school that did the most to improve and beautify the house and grounds, that exhaust ed our funds, so there will be no prize offered this year unless the Board of Education has compass ion and comes to the rescue. While a prize would no doubt be a stimulus to many of us to do better work, still let us do all we can for the sake of the school boys and girls of Stokes county. I have a few pamphlets on the Betterment Work. Any teacher wishing one send address to me at Sandy Ridge, N. C. ELIZABETH ADKINS. President of the Association for the Betterment of Public School Houses in Stokes County. Peebles-Powers. Dillard, Jan. 5. The many friends of Miss Berta B. Peebles and Mr. Arthur T.
