Page 2 The Danbury Reporter PEPPER BROS., El»rr«Rß AS it PUHI.ISHKBB. Subscription : 3 mo., 25c.; 6 mo., 50c; one year, SI.OO WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1911. The oyster-and-fish-feast of the Danbury Local Farmers' Union Saturday night was a success. Every member able to walk was there, while a number of applications for new membership were turned in. The Danbury ltcal is getting to be a strong body, with a power for good. It is learned that a certain commercial organization in North Carolina is working to secure the repeal of the homestead exemp tion law. This would require a constitutional amendment, we believe, and could never be enacted. The poorer classes cherish the homestead exemption law, deeming it their safety and bul wark, when it is really a detriment, depriving them of needed credit, and encouraging dishonesty. A law that would enable A to sue B for a justly-owed $2 debt, which is lost because Bis not worth over $1,500, would tend to make a goodly number of men more careful about incurring debts and more conscientious about paying them. The facts and possibilities of Stokes county corn demonstration work are interesting. Mr. W. P. Ray, who lives on the big 1200- acre farm of Mr. J. S. Taylor, near Danbury, last year planted a piece of ground (not quite an acre), in corn, and cultivated it after the demonstration method. When the measurement was made at the harvest, Mr. Ray found that, besides the stover, he had 52 3-4 bushels of corn. Questioned by the Reporter, Mr. Ray stated that he could cultivate 20 acres in the same way that his 1910 demon stration-acre was cultivated, provided he should not be bothered with a tobacco crop. Taking into consideration the respective ex pense accounts of a 20-acre corn crop and a 15-barn tobacco crop, as opposed to each other, and both cultivated demonstration fashion, the Reporter figures S3OO profit in favor of the corn. One can hardly pick up a newspaper without seeing something like this : Near Sherley, West Va., the other day, Mrs. Elizabeth Allen, a wealthy widow, was found dead in her home. A large sum of money which she had kept in the house was missing, and the coroner is of the opinion Mrs. Allen was strangled to death, after which the robbery was effected. Mrs. Allen lived alone and had no faith in banks. She paid for her distrust with both money and life. When persons hoard money the public usually finds it out, and the knowledge is a constant incentive to burglary and murder. People who live alone are usually supposed to be mys terious, and as often as not are supposed to hoard up money and hide it away, whether they do or not. If you are a frugal person, the best protection you can have is for it to be known that you keep your money in the bank. There are other things that con stantly menace the private hoards of money, notably fire and rats; for strange as it may seem, some people will hide away paper money rather than convert it into specie. Put your money in the bank, if you have any. The family of Rev. Cornelius Miller, who resided at Danbury some years since, m?ved the past week to Dalton, this county, and will reside at the old home of the late W. N. Dalton. The many friends of Mr. Miller will learn with regret that he is quite sick in the hospital at Winston and has not yet been able to join the family. Recently Mr. Miller, who is a minister of the Presbyterian church, has been stationed at Woodleaf, N. C. The peoplp of Stokes will be glad to have this good family back among them again. ». Mr. Jesse A. Lawson, of Law sonville, was here yesterday on his way to Walnut Cove. Mr. Lawson is President of the Stokes County Union Warehouse Company, a merchant and a far mer, and is one of the level headed and conservative Union men of the county. • DON'T FAIL TO EXAMINE OUR J • $15.00 SUITS IN ODD LOTS g • CI-IOICE $9.90 i iWe regret our inability to publish the list of the lucky numter.which we Lf announced by circulars recently, owing to the fact that we find that it is a violation of the Postal Laws and Regulations to have this lished in any paper or circular that is to be carried through the mails, under I penalty of SI,OOO fine and two years imprisonment L BOYLES BROS.
