VOTE FOR STEDMAN
HONOR THE EX-CONFEDERATES
Probably the Last Opportunity that
Will Ever Be Offered to Honor
the Thin Gray Line.
To the Voters :
Tomorrow we will have an
importunity, and probably the
last «■' will ever be offered of
*■ thin, gray line of
- ojrvivors of a cause,
though lost, yet one whose
memory should remain forever
green in the hearts of all true
Southern men. This State,
whose boast is that she sent
more soldiers to the war than
any other Southern State: whose
greater and prouder boast is that
she was "First at Bethel: farth
est to the front at Gettysburg
and Chicamauga. and last at
Appomattox." now appears to
be again first: but first in failure
to honor the truest, the bravest,
and most self-sacrificing men!
that ever shouldered musket or
fought for altar and fireside.
It is true that North Carolina
with jealous haste has erected
monuments to mark where the
'Tar Heel" sfood and stuck
when balls were crashing!
through the bones of her men'
like hail pattering on a window,
pane: it is true that she has j
marked where her brave sons J
fell at Gettysburg: and it is true!
that she has erected a monu-,
ment to mark the spot where
her men fired their last volley at
Appomattox. She honors her dead
and boasts of their glorious
achievements. But what is she
doing to honor those who are
left of that immortal band ? It
would touch a heart of stone to
view them as they march each !
year to the cemetery to place
flowers upon the graves of their
comrades who fell in that glori- j
ous canse. How much better j
that we scatter flowers in the j
paths of the living! Will the i
people of this district not re
move the disgrace that rests
upon this grand State, and place
in Congress a man as brave as
Richard, the N lion-hearted, a
Chevalier Bayard, a man whose
every heart-beat is true- to Caro
lina and her traditions ? The
name of S ted man should arouse
you. Remember the old soldier, j
remember your duty! "Lord
God of Hosts, be with us yet, |
lest we forget, lest we forget." !

SAFEST IN THE BANK.
It Is Easy, Convenient and Busi
» ness-like to Pay Bills By Check.
At Lynn, Mass., last Friday
' John L. Landrigen drew $4,000
from the bank to pay some large
bills, and shortly afterwards
was shot dead and robbed of
i every dollar of the money. It
1 is most business-like and always
the safest to pay all bills by
check. We receive any amount
on deposit from SI.OO to SIO,OOO.

Enough to Make a Spider Shed His
Hoofs. !
Dear Miss Dora:
The more I think of you the
more I love you. I cannot see
how anyone could hate you.
You have always been to me an
honest, faithful friend, and I!
■ hope my love is not an object of,
1 contempt. It is true! I once
said I would never marry, but j
! that was before I loved you. (
| That assertion you know wasl
I uttered in a bragging manner.
In fact naught but a lie. and 11
'don't know why I made it. If!
II could ever pluck up enough '
courage to offer you my hand. I
know very well you would be
surprised, and I doubt if you!
would accept it. I don't think!
I could listen to a refusal from
your lips, and thus make my
1 whole life miserable. To die
i without ever expressing my
: love for you would be preferably '
j to that.
If you write to me I shall be
j very happy, but if you do not I
shall be miserable and gloomy,
i for your letters are a source of
pleasure, and a failure to get
them always make me feel like
committing suicide.

The Stokes County Fair.
It is now time to begin to
think and finish our plans and
go to work for the Stokes Fair,
i which is or.lv about three and
one half months. It is time to
get busy if we wish to make a
social effort in one or all depart
ments. It is not only the pleas
ure we get out of a fair that
urge you so to partake, but we
are benefited so much and it is
': a part of our education. We
gather so many new ideas that
Iwe may compare with ours, and
| then produce one to excel all.
The fair is a grand thing for the
farmer, it serves as an institute
| wherein they have an oppor
! tunity to learn much in the ag
' riculture line. They have lie
fore them the finest specimens
of seeds, also the very best
! methods of farming explained to'
jthem. This is not only tri;e
with the farmers but other lines'
have an equal chance because j
at a fair we see the finest of,
fine stock of all grades, also
1 the poultry man picks up many j
; fine features that will be of
much benefit to him in his line
of work.
One word to the ladies: The
fairat King, N. C., has been com
plimented on the artistic work
of the ladies of the Stokes coun-
I
ty. You have given us a
j pleasant display of your work
J and how we have longed for the
many desirable things ia the
i canning jellies, perserves, bread,
butter, cakes and oh! so many
good things now give us a fine
display this fall. All the ladies
of Stokes help to make this
a successfull fair. We all can
help some I know, the ladies
will work, now boys let's go to
work and be on time with our
displays. We will if we try
learn more than enough to pay
for all of our trouble preparing
for the fair.
