himself by going to Roanoke for

A large number of acholars are
enrolled in Stuait High School.
County teachers are coming in

PRISCILLA.
Hon. B. S. Royster Announces His
Candidacy For Congress in the
Fifth District.
Oxford, N. C, March 18, 1908.
To tho Voters of the Fifth Con
gressional Distriot :
lam a candidate for the nom
ination for Congress in this Dis
trict, subject to the notion of the
coming Democratic Convention.
Since attaining my majority,
twenty two years ago, I have la
bored earnestly for the cause of
the Democratic Party, and as to
how well I have done my duty in
this repect I refer you to the peo
ple of Grauville and adjoining
oounties.
I do not claim, nor do I believe
any man has the right to claim,
this high honor upon the grounds
of party service alone.
I believe every man who loves
his State, who has a due regard
for her best interests, and who
has a reverence for the sacredness
of home and lor purity and
protection of woman, should be
proud of any work done for that
party which has given to North
Carolina the good government of
which her people boast.
It should be the pride of every
patriotic North Carolinian to do
his best in such a cause.
I have no pet schemes in poli
tics, nor have I any private or
personal platform.
I believe in the principles of
the Great Democratic Party
which have made it so dear to the
hearts of the people and which
make for civic righteousness and
equal rights.
The platform announced by the
State and National Conventions,
through the wise and patriotic
leaders of the party shall be my
guides.
lam simplj o )emocrat, with
an abiding faith in my party and
a fixed determination to serve
my people. Their needs and
demands shall be my watch
words.
I believe in that same standard
of political integrity that honor
able men observe in business
transactions.
I most earnestly ask your sup
port in the primaries and in the
County and District Conven
tions.
Respectfully,
B. S. ROYSTER.

The Bank of Stokes County
has reached $85,000 in deposits,
having gained about ten thousand

they have been trying, will be
reached some time during the

increase continues, will get there
in a few days.
The growth of the bank during
the past three months has been
phenomenal. Let every person
in Stokes county who has any
money, whether a large amount or
small amount, deposit it with the

your money will not only be safe,
