There is a great deal of sick

measles. There are about 40 or 50
cases in this community.
The public school here has clos
ed for two weeks on account of
measles, but we hope it will
open again soon.
The teachers' here are prepar

FARMERS' UNION
BUYS WAREHOUSE AT MT. AIRY
Purchase Price Said To Be $12,000
—Will Take Possession About
June Ist—Will Probably Erect
Drying Plant On Property.
The Farmers' Union of Surry
county has made a deal in Mt.
Airy which the News regards will
mean much to the organization
in this county. By the deal the
union comes into possession of
the warehouse owned by Messrs.
John Banner and J. W. Lovill,
and known as Central Ware
house. It is the talk of the
street that the purchase price
was $12,000. The union comes
into possession of the property
at the close of the present tobac
co season, or about June Ist.
The property is considered
very valuable and is a most de
sirable location for any business.
It is on one of the main streets
leading to the depot and in the
center of town. The lot fronts
on Franklin street 142 feet and
runs back 260 feet and extends
from the rear to Willow street,
fronting that street 65 feet. The
warehouse is a well constructed
building, eighty-four feet wide
and two hundred feet long. On
the rear of the lot is a three
story house known as the leaf
house that is forty feet wide
and eighty feet long. It is the
talk of the street that the drying
plant will be erected on the west
side of the building and the
warehouse used either for a
storage room or for a sales floor
if the union should decide to
conduct a warehouse.

j THE PINNACLE HIGH SCHOOL
I We are anxious that every per
ison who is thinking about at
tending school this year learn
something of the advantages and
opportunities offered by the Pin
nacle High School. We offer the
same opportunities as are offered
by other State High Schools.
Any student who lives in Stokes
county, and can enter the eighth
grade, may come without cost of
tuition. You will not find your
school expenses less at any
scool than they will be here.
Board and room rent, light, fuel,
etc., furnished for SB.OO per
month.
It has been circulated through
different parts of the county that
students could not secure board
in the town. This is a mistake.
Students can secure board in
private families near the school
building, and there are several
families who are anxious to take
boarders. These houses are only
a short distance from the school
building. For those who wish to
work for board, there are oppor
tunities open to good, honest,
hard-working boys. This offer
is for a limited number only, at
the present time.
We have a large and commo
dious building. conveniently
arranged in every way. There
is no other school building in
Stokes county that is as large
and so well equipped as the
school building here. All the
people are proud of their school
building, and realize what a
S-eat benefit the 'school is • to.
e community. The good
ladies of the town through the
association for the betterment
of public schools, have present
ed to the school a nice piano,
and also have purchased some
new desks for the school. We
wish to extend to them our
many thanks for these valuable
gifts to the school.
If there is any information
you wish in regard to
school, we will gladly give you
the desired information.
