The table. 400 feet long, groaned with the weight of the good things from the farms of Stokes county. Fair and dainty hands waited on the vast crowd of eaters. If anybody didn't get filled, it was his or her fault. There was plenty, and good cheer and happiness.

STOKES TAXABLES INCREASE SIOO,OOO Total Value For 1910 Shows $3,582,564--But While We Gain In Property Values, We Lose Nine Polls. The tax returns tabulated by the Register of Deeds show that the taxable values of Stokes county for 1910 are $3,582,564. This is an increase of SIOO,OOO over last year. While this increase in prop erty values has been going on, we have sustained"a loss of 79 polls during the last 12 months. This depreciation in population is doubtless owing to the con stant moving out of citizens from the country to the towns on account of our bad roads, and no disposition on the part of the authorities to seek relief. Many people also leave to obtain bet ter school facilities for their children. It is believed that the 1910 census will show only a slight increase of population in the county over that of 10 years ago. Whooping Cough Raging At Smith Other items. Smith, Aug. I.

Miss Kary McMillion Given Surprise Birthday Dinner —G. W. Smith Candidate For Matrimony—Mr. Willie Sisk Happens to Accident. Brim Grove. Aug. 25.-The farmers of this section are through with their threshing, and the yield was much better than expected, and with a good corn crop and hogs in the pen we think that the farmers will be in the ring for another year. Quite a host of friends and neighbors assembled at the home of Miss Mary McMellion and gave her a nice and pleasant surprise birthday dinner last Tuesday. Miss McMellion was 67 years old. Her sister lives with her and it was a surprise to both. There were about forty in number, and all present seem ed to enjoy the good dinner that was spread under the large oak trees in front of the house. A Rood many people attended the was-to-have-been ice cream supper at Mr. S. W. Sams' store Saturday evening l . It was post poned until another time. All that came returned as joyful as they came. Mr. J. P. Covington was out twelve days with his machine and threshed 2,900 bushels of wheat, which was good for this com munity. as they had small crops. We judge from the appearance of Mr. Geo. W. Smith that he is a candidate for matrimony. Mr. Smith says that he has made wheat enough to do him, and he is out looking for a cook. Look out, girls, he will give you a call, as this is campaign year. Mr. Willie Sisk happened to an accident Saturday evening while returning from the ball game at Rock House. His mule that he was driving took fright and ran away, demolish ing his buggy, but Mr. Sisk es iaped with a broken finger. Mr. Dallas Gordon spent Sun diy with his best girl as usual. Mr. Will Bullington spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bullington, of Pilot Mtn. Route 2. A good many people are plan ning to attend the association at Shilo church at Pinnacle, which begins Thursday of this week, and will continue four days. TWO COW BOYS. Ollie Bullin Arrested. Ollie Bullin, who resides about one mile east of Danbury, was arrested Monday night by Depu ty Sheriffs T. S. Petree and J. D.
