Mr. William A. Sams Reads the
Reporter \V it.i Much Pleasure.
Jackson, Ohio, Feb. 7.
Dear Editor.
As I am a reader, of your
paper, and a former resident of
Stokes county, and having many
relatives and friends there I
thought I would write through
your paper so they all could
hear from us. Myself and my
wife visited our old home county
last October, having been away
for 37 years, and have raised a
large family of 9 girls and 1 boy,
! making 10 in all. Seven of the
girls are married and two girls
: and the boy are yet single. The
girls that are married are scatter
; ed, two of them are in Indiana,
; and others here in this State.
I see so many items in your
paper of different things in my
! old county, that it is a great
phasure for me to read. I
i would be glad if I could see
some items from the Rock
House and Brim Grove sections,
|as me and my wife have many
, relatives in those two sections.
! When we was down there I was
! surprised to see so much change
jin the country, so much land
| cleared, and so much building
! had been done, and the people
| was so kind and good to us you
| bet our trip down there left
memories in our minds that will
never be forgotten. Besides
reading the paper some kind
friend sends me the Western
Sentinel printed at Winston-
Salem. I am glad to get the
i news from our old home State.
|
I saw a letter in your paper
a few weeks ago from Robert
Venable, of Michigan, another
North Carolinan. I like to read
letters from anybody of my old
neighborhood. We visited his
parents while there. I hope
some of our friends will write
through the Reporter so I can
hear what is going Qn in our old
country.
We have had lots of snow and
cold weather here this winter.

No meeting of the local Farm
ers Union was held owing to the
severe weather. The next meet
ing will be held Saturday night,

DEATH AT DILLARD
| INFANT OF MR. AND MRS. DAVIS
1 Good Deal of Sickness in the Com
munity An Entertainment at the
School.
Dillard, Feb. 14. Farmers
have begun burning plant beds:
in oar vicinity.
We have quite a good deal of
sickness at present. It seems
to be something like lagrippe.
William, the little one-year-old \
boy of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Davis died last Tuesday of
pneumonia, and was buried at
Bethesda on Thursday.
Mrs. Boge James, who has!
been in declining health for!
some time, went to Danbury
Sunday to spend some time,
under treatment of Drs. Mc-
Canless,
Mr. E. W. Carroll, of Wins
ton, was here a few days ago.
Mr. J. Wilson Mitchell is
having his residence painted.
Mr. Jay Adkins and sister,
Miss Susie, and Mrs. Delia
Adkins, of Red Shoals spent
last Tuesday at the ,home of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adkins.
The people of this community
were given a treat Saturday
evening, at our school, by the
teachers and pupils,—in the
form of an entertainment. Not
withstanding the inclemency of
the weather, a large crowd at
tended and all enjoyed the exer
cises very much. To sit and
listen at country boys and girls
sing and play and recite like
1 this, makes one feel like illitera
icy has passed into oblivion.
But these boys and girls should
go on and on and, "not let it
l rest till the good is better, and
the better is best."

CHILD DIES WITH HYDROPHOBIA
Daughter of Andy Fletcher of Pilot
Mountain Dead From Mad Dog
Bite.
The six year old daughter of
Mr. Andy Fletcher died at Pilot
Mountain Tuesday morning of
! last week from the effects of a
dog bite. About six weeks ago
a little pug dog, a pet of the
child's, had fits and snapped and
bit at everything in sight. Be
fore the family realized the sit
uation the dog had bitten the:
j little girl. Then they killed the
dog. Time passed on and last
Saturdav the child was taken
with cramps and gradually grew ;
1 ( worse. Monday morning it be- i
I gan to have spasms and Dr. J. j
jB. Smith was called in. He!
i found it suffering with all symp
toms of hydrophobia and nothing
i that he could do would bring re- j
lief. The child could not swallow!
and yet it was thirsty and cried j
i, for water. Every time it saw i
, water it would go into spasms.;
Its sufferings were indescribable,
; it would bite and scratch and
, it was almost impossible to keep |
it on the bed. All during the
1 night Monday until death reliev-1
; ed it at 3 in the morning the lit
: one suffered all the agonies of:
1 the dreadful disease.—Mt Airy;

• LIFE SAVED AT DEATH'S
i DOOR.

grave," writes W. R. Patter
son, of Wilmington, Tex., as
when a frightful cough and lung
. trouble pulled me down to 100
• pounds, in spite of doctor's
I treatment for two years. My
father, mother and two sisters
' died of consumption, and that I j
' am alive today is due solely to
jDr-. King's New Discovery,-!

FROM ALEX MOORE.
.Citizen of Missouri Whose Last
Visit to Danbury Was to Attend
A General Muster, Writes Enter
tainingly.
Farmington, Mo., Feb 8.
Editors Danbury Reporter :
Will you please allow sptce
'in your paper to tell of some cf
the things of my boyhood days - ,
so that my many friends and j
! relatives may know that I still
have the memory of old Stokes I
I
,county. The last time I was;
'in Danbury was in the year of!
( 1856. I went to «attend a j
general muster; of which Jink
Terry was General. In those
days we had petit musters once
a month and a general muster
once a year. The leading men
of those days in Stokes county
were Risers, Helsabecks, (Au- j
gusta Helsabeck was my school j
teacher,) Peppers, (Dr. Pepper}
was our family doctor,) Terry's,
Moody's and several others. I
haven't space to mention all
of them. Mr. Moody kept
a hotel in Danbury. Mr. Moody 1
hired an uncle of mine to feed
horses and do work about the
hotel. Two ]weajthy_ gentlemen
were stopping at the', hotel;i;"so
my uncle thought after his work
was done at the barn, he would j
go in to hear those gentlemen |
talk a while. The conversation
drifted to how hard it was to
poor. Mr. Moody said to
my uncle, that is so, isn't
it ? Uncle said he didn't
know, he had never had any
experience. Many other incid
ents happened that I remember
so well.
