THE DANBURY REPORTER. VOLUME XXXIX. liT BRIM GROVE [JNDAY SCHOOL TO HOLD PICNIC j oung People Having Ice Cream Suppers, Parties, etc.— Preaching By Rev S. F. Morton Next Son- ! II Brim Grove, Sept. 5. —The Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. j looker has been real sick with j erysipelas, but is improving ati this writing. Mr. T. J. Covington, who has been traveling in Virginia for the past three months, spent last week at home visiting rel atives and friends. He will re turn today to Guilford College, where he will resume his studies. He will graduate at tne end of the spring term of this college year. Rev. S. P. Morton, of Wins ton-Salem, N. C., will fill his J regular appointment at Brim Grove next Sunday at eleven o'clock. There will also be a *■ baptising at 10 o'clock. A. M. Let everybody come out and hear him, as he is an able speak t er. Miss Lois Boaze will leave to day for Winston, where she will visit her sister for the next three weeks. The farmers of this section are very busy cutting tobacco. What has been cured has a very fine color. The rains have put a good many behind with their work. Mr. S. W. Sams was seen one day last week going to Pilot Mountain at a 240 rate. On ' meeting the U. P. D. carrier he inquired of him where he could find the Census enumerator. The man's curosity was aroused at such an inquiry. He proceded to draw from Mr. Sams the reason for wanting the Census enumerator at this season of the year. The carrier's curosity was satisfied when Mr. Sams told him that a bouncing boy was at his home, and wanted its name on the list at once. Misses Berta and Martha Wilson, Vada and Rebecca Hall, Ora Stone and Corina Sams, and Messrs Elijah Sams and Adam Hall spent Sunday afternoon with Miss Ilessie Wilson. Mr. J. A. Covington will leave today for Virginia where he will travel for the Monitar | Hardware Co., of Big Prairie, Ohio. With the approach of longer nights the social life of this community is reviving. Ice cream suppers, fishing, parties and other divergancies which break the monotony of rural life, are frequently engaged in by the young people. ) The Sunday School at Brim Grove will hold its annual picnic at that place on Saturday, | October Bth. The local schools of Gibson's school house and i Flat Rockr which are conducted as arm's to the Brim Grove School, will join the Brim Grove i school in its picnic. Prepara tion for the occasion have al ready begun and a great effort is being made by the officers and teachers and leaders of the three schools to make it the best j that has ever been held at that ' place. We hope that the good I people of the adjoining com imunities will join those of three schools and aid them in pleasing the little folks as well as the older ones, by bringing out well | filled baskets. Come out and i enjoy the day. PONY BOY. ! Mr. Willie Southern Takes Unto I Himself a Spouse--Other News! of Walnut Cove. Walnut Cove. Oct. 1. i Dear Reporter: Mr. Will Southern got married j Sunday.

DON'T BREAK DOWN. Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, cause break-downs. You can't over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to your self. If you are weak or run down. or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters the matchless, tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de Sande, of Kirkland, 111., writes: "That I did» not break down, while enduring a most severe strain, for three months, is due wholly to Electric Bitters." Use them and enjoy health and strength. Satisfact ion positively guaranteed. 50c at all druggists. • Your patronage appreciated. Boyles Mercantile Co. DANBURY, N. C., SEPTEMBER 7, 1910.

Estes decided that he wanted to j sell his farm on Town Fork, and ;so he wrote a little ad and put it ;in the Reporter. He was at the i time a guest at Piedmont Springs, trying to get a few days' rest. ! But what a mistake he made in the matter of rest! Before the Reporter had reached half its ' journey to the homes of Stokes and adjoining counties, the re plies began to come in, and soon .these were followed by pros jpective buyers in person. Mr. Estes left for Mt. Airy and they , followed him there. Soon a mes : sage came like this from Mr. Es tes : "Take that ad out. I have had replies from everywhere. It i certainly pays to advertise in the Reporter." Any person wishing to sell a tract of land, mule. cow. or any thing, and any person wanting to buy, rent, or find anything, may have their wants satisfied quick and at a very low price. Don't waste your money buy ing plasters when you can get a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment for twenty five cents. A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment is superior to any plas ter for lame back, pains in the side and chest, and much cheap j er. Sold by all dealers Bring your produee. Boyles Mercantile Co. AUSPICIOUS OPENING WALNUT COVE HIGH SCHOOL Starts With One Hundred And I Twenty-Five Students, And More Expected Excellent Corps of Teachers. Walnut Cove. Sep. 5. 1910. ! The fall term of the Walnut j Cove High School began this | morning, the opening exer cises being conducted by the principal. Prof. E. C. Byerly. An unusually large number of the school's friends and patrons; were present at the opening, j and several of the visitors made ] interesting and encouraging re marks in regard to the import- j ance of educational work. It is indeed gratifying to note that the number of good school advocates in the community are on the increase, and that the majority of people in this vicinity are at last awakening to the fact that education is essential to progress. The total enrollment of stu dents to-day was one hundred and twenty-five (125). This figure marks a notable increase when compared with the num ber of students in attendance at the opening last year, and it is safe to predict that the number of students will continue to in crease for several weeks yet. Prof. E. C. Byerly, the prin cipal, will teach the High School department, while Miss Adkins will have charge of the third and fourth grades. Miss Ripple has the fifth and sixth grades, and Miss Crist will teach the primary department and music classes. With this corps of highly capable instructors the success of the school seems assured.

Since the 8-hour law be , came effective, and since the Wireless (Companies are estab -1 fishing stations throughout the country there is a great shortage of telegraphers. Positions pay beginners from S7O to S9O per month, with good chance of ad vancement. The National Tele graph Institute operates six offi j ctal institutes in America, under ' supervision of P. R. and Wire less officials and places all grad i uates into positions. It will pay ! you to wiite them for full details at Memphis, Tenn., or Colum bia, S. C. 7 sep 11 w The State library SATURDAY, SEPT. 19 STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING General Manager C. W. Glidewell Calls For the Attendance At Danbury Of AH Stockholders Of the Union Warehouse Company— Important Business To Be Traas acted. All stockholders of the Stokes County Union Warehouse Com pany are urged to attend the meeting of stockholders at Dan bury next Saturday, Sept. 10, 1910, and all who can possibly pay any cash will please come prepared to take up their notes or any part of same and get their certificates of stock. We will be prepared to do business on that day. Please come and fail not. We want to make a start on out building at once. Yours fraternally, C. W. GLIDEWELL, Washing Away the Roads Reports say that the work recently done on the road a mile or two south of Danbury. par ticularly on the Poor House hill and the Henry Dirret hi!!, has been destroyed by the recent heavy rains washing away the fresh earth. It does not pay to spend m:>n ney making roads in the old way. They must be grat'ed modernly. ditched and thrown up in the middle, so that the action of the water loses it? effect. Water either standing on a road, or running over it, will destroy the road. Sooner or later a large number of r\ids in Stokes county must be chang ed in their locality altogether. Roads that traverse hills ir.ust be re-directed to run round the hills, so that a level or something in the nature of a level grade can be obtained. The caprice of land-owners along the roads is inferior to the rights of tie public. The Reporter hopes that some action will be taken at the next session of the legislature looking to a road law for Stokes county, I whereby we may levy a reason able tax for the benefit of the roads. They will never be worked by free labor. Many | roads in the county since the late heavy rains are impassable. BEWARE OF OINTMENTS | FOR CATTARRH THAT CON TAINS MERCURY, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and complete ly derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. 'Such articles should never l>e used except on j prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they ' will do is ten fold to the good , you can possibly derive from , them.
