Next Saturday, Sunday and Monday
—Crowds Expected to Be Large.
The Primitive Baptist Asso
ciation begins at North View
next Saturday, and will con
tinue for three days, embracing
Sunday and Monday. From all
reports and indications the
crowd in attendance will be a
reeord breaker. On account of
the bridge here being torn down
and repairing, a good ford has
been arranged right under the
bridge, but all persons who do
not care to ford the stream,
can go around via the Seven
Island ford or the Buck Island;
bridge, which is only a little
farther.
The Winston Fair the Best Ever
Before—W A. Nelson Sells Load
of Primings at Good Price-
Messrs. W. A. Nelson, Aug
mon Nelson and F. E. Nelson,
and many other Stokes citizens
returning last week from the
Winston Fair say that the occa
sion was the most successful
that it has ever been before.
The crowd was unusually large,
the exhibits fine, and the
attractions of unusual interest.
Mr. W. A. Nelson says the
fireworks alone were easily
worth the cost of the trip.
While in Winston Mr. Nelson
sold a load of primings, which
averaged him 11 cents. He is
one of the finest tobacco
raisers in the county, and
1 makes good stuff, but he says
ihe was not expecting such a
j good price for his primings.
; He was very well pleased.

on me by my party, it will be
impossible for me to accept the
5 nomination on account of my ill

i properly fill the place if elected.
Thanking you again for the
, honor rind hoping that you will
select a better fitted man for the
! place, I am.
Yours truly,

an hour, defended his party well,
