of Dr. Taylor, of Stoneville,
which proved quite a success in
spite of the rain. About 75
young people gathered on the
lawn of Mr. W. R. Keiger about
7:45 and began making ice
cream. When the rain began
falling they all took their best
beauxs and retired to the taber
nacle to eat cake and cream.
. All seemed to enjoy the occasion
fine. Dr. Taylor is a jolly young
fellow, or at least the girls seem
to think so by the way one was
carrying him around Saturday
evening with a load of bananas.
Boys if you want to get set up
go to King. For there are
plenty of old maids and but a
few young men.
Miss Bertha Rumley, of Rural

Guess the girls are very blue

"Seventeen-Year Locusts" Due To
Appear This Year.
Raleigh. June 10. The State
Department of Agriculture at
Raleigh calls attention to the
fact that the "seventeen-year
locust" is due to appear this year
in the region of Kaleigh, in
Wake county, to the northern
limit of the state, and in the
counties of Cabarrus, Davie.
Iredell, Rowan. Surry and Yad
kin.
The insects appear in some
places at regular intervals, ow
ing to the fact that there are
several broods, and that some of
them come every thirteen years,
and others every seventeen
years -the crop of this year is of
the seventeen-year race, it was
present in 1893, and its progeny
is predicted to come in 1327.
They will not appear every
where in all the territory named,
but only in definite localities.
They usually appear from about
May 20th'to June 20th.

VESTAL SMITH HURT
HIS COLLAR BONE BROKEN
Farmers Finishing Up Tobacco
Planting—Scribbler Replies to
Bob Fox.
King, June 13.
Mrs. Mary T. Wilson, who
has been very low with pneu
monia fever, is some improved.
Little Vestal, son of Mr.
B. N. Smith, happened to a very
painful accident last Saturday,
While climbing on a chair he acci
dentally fell and broke his collar
bone.
The heavy rain that fell
Sunday morning very badly
disappointed a couple of the Oak
Grove boys. They had planned
to attend preaching at Cedar
Hill. Surry Co., and everything
was in readiness for a nice trip,
but when Sunday morning
dawned to their great surprise
it was raining.
Mr. Ernest- Jarrett, of the
Volunteer section, attended an
ice cream supper last Saturday
night, and of course went home
with his best girl. The night
being very dark and rainy, he
got lost on his way home and
took up refuge under a log for
the night. He says no more ice
cream and going home with the
girls for him that he will remain
at home and read the dear old
Reporter.
The farmers of this section
are about through planting to
bacco since the nice showers'
that have recently fell. They all
have plenty of plants and they
could plant an even larger crop
than they have already planted,
but if the showers last long!
there will be something doing,
as harvest is here ami general
green is making a fine show.
The wheat crop promises to be
the best in several years.
Now for a few words to my
friend. Bob Fox.
I can't congratulate you on your
article of May 16th, but I can
sympathise with you very much
in trying to claim the honor
which was l>estowed upon man,
by a more higher or divine
power. We are aware of the
fact that "Love" has many
different definitions, which I
feel the incompetency of trying
to explain, as you have so faith
fully done. Now it seems to
me from from your writing, that
for some cause or other, you
have a special desire or inclina
tion to dwell on the word love.
I find from reading my Bible
that wine is a mocker and strong
drink is raging, and whosoever
is deceived thereby is not wise.
Now. my friend, please be care
ful or you will show to the peo
ple the way in which you desire
to term the word "Love."
Judging from the place in which
you are taking up your present
abode since leaving this com
munity, and having so great a
desire to become a medical
student. Now, Bob Fox, bring
forth your light from under the
bushel, and place it on a candle
stick that it may shine bright in
this world, that when you have
long departed this life that its
effects may be as a token or
some trace of the great and
marvelous works you claim the
honors of having done.
Now I hope you will come to
some permanent decision and
settle down in life, as the peo
ple know you have squandered
so many of your valuable
moments changing from one
thing to another.

He divided his discourse into
three parts, making two classes
of people to be dealt with and
then put the two classes
together, thus forming the third
class. The first class which he
so plainly described was the 1
fathers and mothers, it being
their duty to prepare themselves J
and go to Sunday school and to.
prepare their children and take i
i them too, and he said that it was 1
the duty of the children to go to|
Sunday school and by this act be
obedient to their parents and to
the teaching of the scriptures.
Brother Johnson's words were as
a fine mist and they did cover the
entire audience and captivate
the understanding of every one
present.
At 2:00 P. M. Every one pres- j
ent was invited to take part
in the Sunday school. They
were divided into three classes:
j the advanced, intermediate and
I primary. The teachers in

class, Hattie Smith and Mrs.
Mary J. Smith intermediate
class, and Mi's. Hessie Smith for

THE POLITICAL POT
NOW BOILING IN STOKES
Democratic and Republican Can
didates, and Gossip On Both
Sides —Next Few Months to Be
Spicy in Political Circles—R. L,.
Haymorc Wanted By Republicans
For the Senate.
The next few months —from
now till the election in Novem
ber political circles in this coun
ty will lie animated with life.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Republicans have been in
possession of the offices for
about a quarter of a century,
with characteristic vitality Dem
ocratic candidates are bobbin's;
up all around. There is a strong
belief in many parts of the coun
ty that the Democrats, if
thoroughly organized and put in
trim for fighting, could win this
fall. The people are talking
more about Sheriff than any
thing else as the Sheriff's office
is always the center of attraction
for the politicians. Recently a
new man has l>een mentioned for
this popular office, and one that
many people believe could l>eat
Charley Jones to a finish. This
is Joe Carter of Pine Hall. Joe
is a young fellow with plenty of
grit and vim. and is a natural
born vote-getter. Others men
tioned are E. C. Sheppard, of
Lawsonville ; J. C. Frans, of Big
Creek: Will Bowles, of Walnut
Cove: Bob Lawson. of Lawson
ville; L. M. MeKenzie, of Ger
man ton. All of these are good
men, and either of them would
make the Republicans sit up and
take notice. The Sheriff's office
pays about $2,000 a year and is
quite a nice plum.
The hottest fight among
the Republicans is for Treasurer.
The woods are full of candidates.
. Messrs. (1. W. Neal, J. K. Tilley,
:W. M. Mabe, Hilary Tuttle, T.
jS. Petree and others will enter
J the lists. The Treasurer's office
|is really one of the most desira
: ble of the offices, as a person can
hold it and conduct his farming
j operations at the same time, not
IN'ing compelled to live at the
'county seat. It pavs about
S7OUM) a year.
The Reporter man learns that
R. L. Haymorc is the choice of
the Republicans for the Senate,
if Surry must have the naming
of the candidate this time. Mr.
(Juy Carter, of Dobson, has been
mentioned, but will not IK- in ii
with Haymore. Mr. llaymoreis
a lawyer at Mt. Airy, and has
strong personal friends here.
He used to practice in the coun
tv.
The Stedman - Jones - Mebane-
Royster campaign is quite dull.
Hut little interest is shown in
the contest, and each of the can
didates for Congress will have
some strength in the county. It
does not in any degree resemble
the three-cornered scrap two
years ago. when the friends of
Messrs. Brooks. Reid and Buxton
canvassed the county.
Death of Former Danbury Boy.
Mr. Ollie M. Rierson, of Wins
ton, died at his home there
Wednesday night of tuberculosis.
Mr. Rierson was the son of
Tony Rierson, who was a citizen
of Danbury up to the time of
his death some years ago. Ollie
left here a number of years ago
and was for somo time employed
by the Fries Manufacturing
and Power Company at Winston
,in the capacity of street car
conductor. Recently he has
been a member of the firm of
Rierson & Jones, tailors. Mr.
Rierson was an estimable young
man and had only been married
for two years. His wife, moth
er and one brother, Mr. J. W.
Rierson, survive him.
Pension Board to Meet July 4.
Major W. S. Ray requests the
Reporter to announce that the
Stokes County Pension Board
will be in session on Monday,
July 4. All applicants for pen
sions will rememl>er the date
and be present.
The Mayo Cotton Mills Com
pany, at Mayodan, has fded a

Secretary of State providing for
