j MR. GLIDEWELL WRITES
|ls Suffering With Throat Troublej
and Could Not Fill Appoint
ments.
In a letter to the Reporter 1
from County Organizer C. W.
Glidewell, of the Farmers' Un
ion, he requests us to state that
the reason he has not filled the
appointments he recently made
was that his throat has been in
such a condition that he was un
able to speak, and that his
physican adv'ised him to rest.
However, he hopes to be able
to address the people at the
following times and places:
j Stewart's School House. Mon
day, July 11th.
Meadows School House, Tues
-1 day, l'2th.
Pine Log School House. 13th.
Mt. View, 14th.
Moore's Springs, 15th.
Speaking will begin at each
appointment at 2 o'clock. The
appointments appearing else
where in this paper are void.

Oak Grove, June 27.—There is
a lot of sickness in this section

grippe and fever.
Mrs. M. T. Wilson, who has |
been down with grip and fever,
is so she can sit up again.
Mr. D. Hamm, who took a
back-set from fever, is some
l>etter, we ait* glad to note.
Messrs. Eugene Pepper and J.
;D. Cardwell, of Danbury, were!
visitors at Mr. G. W.Smith's 1

'on last Saturday. Judging from
!
1 the look and appearance of Mr.
Joe Cardwell. we think he is on
i the matrimonial campaign this
year.
Mr. A. S. Marsh, of Pinnacle,
j while working in his field one
1 day last week, found what he
j thought to be a lamphrey eel.'
| Mr. Marsh was somewhat ex- j
: cited, and when he had killed it j
! he found it to be a very large
j rattlesnake with 14 rattles
The stork visited Mr. W, S.
Rierson's one day last week and
left him a fine daughter. '

King, July 4. 1910.
Mr. Editor:
1 The Democrats of Yadkin |
township have decided to put
up Mr. J. T. Johnson, of Yadkin
Township, for treasurer of
Stokes county. Mr. Johnson is
a popular man, and has been;
loyal to his party and we think
he is a man capable of filling the I
office. He is a strong Demo
crat with a host of Republican j
friends.
Messrs. D. F. Tillotson, G. A.'
Jones, G. W. Smith and T. B. j
Smith, of this section, attended
the convention at Danbury on
last Saturday in the interest of
Mr. Stedman for. Congress.

Editor Dan bury Reporter :
There will he a Farmers'
Institute at Dan bury on Wednes
day. .July 27th. 1 shall thank
you very much to call the atten
tion of your farmer readers to
the importance of attending the
I institute. There will be held in
connection with the Farmers'
Institute a Women's Institute
presided over by Mrs. F. L.
Stevens. Women's Institutes
are not an experiment, but are
j regarded by those who are most
1 familiar with them of even more
! importance than the institutes
for men. It is at the womens'
I institute that home conditions
are discussed and improvements
suggested that tend to the bet
ter health of the family and to
other conditions that will-mean
■ better country homes for our
children. The uplift in the
I home is the first thing necessary
to bring about contentment and
prosperity on the farm.
At the Women's Institutes
we are offering a premium of
SI.OO for the l)est loaf of bread
baked and exhibited by a girl or
woman living on the farm.
Thanking you in advance for
your kindness in publishing a
notice of the institutes. I am.
Yours very truly,
T. B. PARKER,
j Director of Farmers' Institutes.
,
Notice.
| • All teachers.who have books
' belonging to the teachers'
| library, are hereby notified to
bring them in on or before the
first day of the institute.
Trusting to see all of the
. teachers at the institute.
