THINGS PRESENT AND TO COME.
Danbury is given over to the Teachers' Institute these days.
We are all delighted to have this band of enthusiastic educational
workers with us for two weeks, and such a welcome as we are able
to give is theirs. Among the teachers are representatives from
our county's best families. No calling is so indispensable in
the affairs of the world, nor charged with such sacred responsi
bility. as that of the public school teachers, because their work is
the shaping of lives that will guide the destiny of our country
when you and I shall have handed over the labor to younger and
stronger hands.
Next Saturday the Farmers' Institute and the Women's Institute
will hold forth here. The Farmer's Union, which is the biggest
thing in the county, ought to take official cognizance of these Insti
tutes, which are trying t> do a work in keeping with its principles, i
On the same day the Republicans will hold their county conven- j
tion. At the same time and place the Union financiers are coming
to make arrangements for building the first dry prizery in the I
county.
On Saturday. July 30, the Farmers' Union Rally and Picnic will
be held here, anil it is promised that the crowd in attendance will
be larger than any previous gathering at Danbury. A table 400;
feet long i> being built to hold the dinner, and several State ora
tors will be present.
On the Saturday following occurs the annual reunion of the ex-
Confederates August (!. Major W. S. Ray, the present Com
mandant. informs the Reporter that the attendance is expected to
be very large.
August 20 is the date set for the County Sunday School Conven
tion, and August 27 for the Democratic County Convention.
Picnics, camp meetings, revivals, rallies- gatherings galore
will fill out the program of the summer's entertainment.
THE DEADLY TYPHOID.
Every year in the United States 35,000 lives are lost from ty
phoid fever. In addition, 350,000 are sick for an average of six
weeks from this wholly preventable disease.
Of 107,01M1 American troops assembled to fight the Spaniard in
Cuba 20.178 had typhoid: 1,580 died from the disease. One out of
68 soldiers were killed by the germ of this disease.
The loss of life in our own county of Stokes yearly from ty
phoid, is enough to make us tremble, if we considered it seriously
as an economical question.
The disease can almost be entirely prevented by keeping the
premises cleanly, the water supply pure, and the filthy flies out of
the house. Fly screens are far cheaper than doctors' bills, and
when our people once realize that a single fly will carry a million
germs of fever on its feet, every home will be screened.

Tobacco Good But Late—Mr J. E.
Simmons a Good Preacher.
Oak Grove, July 18—The far
mers of this section are wearing
gloomy faces. There is so much
rain, the grass is getting the
start of them.
Threshing wheat is all the go
nowadays. The machine men
say wheat is good. A lot of far
mers have not got up their wheat
owing to so much rain. Corn is
looking well, which bids fair to
make hog and hominy for the
next year.
Some of the farmers say they
have as good a crop of tobacco
as they ever had, but it will be
rather late, which was caused by
a scarcity of plants in the early
seasons.
The general health of the peo
ple in this section is good at this
writing.
There was preaching at Oak
Grove school house on last Sun-, 1
day at 11 o'clock by Kev. Mr. 1
Simmons, of Vade Mecum. He ,
is certainly a good speaker, and
gained the attention of the
crowd for quite a while. His
words came with full force and
effect. lie certainly told the j
church members how they
should live and lot their light
shine, that the world may know
i
from their example that they'
are living a Christian life.
New Members Going Into Union At
King-A Maddog Killed.
King, July 11 The people of

speed here. We had eight new

brother farmer, let us put a
shoulder to the Union wheel
while it is turning.
The Old Maids of King are go
ing to have a vaudeville show in
behalf of Dr. Taylor of Stone
ville Saturday night. Everybody
invited.
A maddog chased through
King Sunday. A fellow by the
name of Venable shot five times
at it. You bet he got it, as he is
a good shot and is up to "Wild
Jim." RASTUS ROAST.
