THE DANBURY REPORTER OLUME XXXIX. WALNUT COVE NEWS I NUMBER OF LOTS SOLD Building To Be Done In The I Spring —Good Prospect For Union K Depot—Mr. Hanes Linville Buys ■ Out Mr. J. E. James. I Walnut Cove, Feb. 22.—The Big lot sale was pulled off on Schedule time here the 16th. large crowd was present and fthe bidding was lively. This was ■the second lot sale that has been ■held here recently and some 50 lor 60 nice town lots were sold at ■reasonably low prices considering ■their beautiful locations. They ■are all on Main and Depot streets. ■The purchasers of these lots are from all parts of the country and quite a lot of building will be done on them as soon as the weather will permit. This means a great deal and speaks well for Walnut Cove. There are 30 or 40 dwelling houses needed here, and they can be rented at a fair price. Mr. Pfaff, of Winston, is here installing the machinery *in the Farmers' Union Dry Prizery, which he will complete in a few days. Mr. Pfaff says that when this dry prizery is completed it will be one among the best of its kind in the State. It has a first class brick building and the best grade of the latest type of ma chinery, It will soon be ready for the farmers to unload their tobacco there instead of pulling it to Winston. The engine and boiler have not been put in yet owing to the fact that the weath er has been too cold to do the brick work necessary to install them. We have been reliably inform ed that Walnut Cove is to have a union depot in the near future, and it is badly needed. The transfer of express, such as heavy drummers' trunks and other heavy stuff, some 175 yards, is burdensome. If we I I should be so fortunate as to get a union station it will add quite a little to our magnificent little town. Say, boys, when you pass this ■ way some time in the early fall cut your eye around and look for a large up-to-date warehouse for the sale of leaf tobacco, which | will go along with the dry prizery. The farmer can then use his pleasure about selling the same day or storing his tobacco in the dry prizery for better prices. Mr. Hanes Linville, of the Belew's Creek section, has pur chased the stock of goods of J. E. James, next door to Jacob Fulton, Sons & Co. Mr. James i is a good business man and we " 4 regret hid retirement from the mercantile business. We think lots of Mr. Linville and wish him much success in his new under taking. He is worthy of a large patronage' and has a host of # friends in and around Walnut Cove. By the way, has Mr. Humph rey*, the Danbury attorney, a law office at King .?, He went to so up that way quite often. Smithtown School Closes On Account Of Measles. 1 Mr. L. L. Spencer, of Camp j bell, was here yesterday on busi | ness. Mr. Spencer told the Re | porter that the Smithtown school, taught by Mr. Elmer Biggs, was closed yesterday on account of a number of the pupils having been exposed to measles. This is to be regretted.since it is said that the school at Smithtown was better this season than for sev eral years. Only last Thursday Mr. W. R. Stovall, a good citizen of that section, was in the Re porter office and requested us to thank Supt. Smith and the Board of Education for giving them such a good teacher. It is hoped that the school can soon open again. Big Slaughter Sale to Be Conduct ed By Mrs. R. L. Hartman It Son. Mrs. R. L.

No. 2,027 ON KING ' jTE 2 y IPLEASURA' APRON PARTY HJ' ! j Mr. Edwards Entertains — Death of Kiss Minnie Eaton — Death of Mrs- F. Combs. King Route 2, Feb. 20.—0n last Saturday night at the home of his mother, Mrs. Rena Ed wards. Mr. S. F. Edwards gave for the pleasure of his and his j mother's many friends an apron party which was a very pleasant social event. Quite a number of their relatives and friends were present. The time from 7 to 11 o'clock flitted away only too soon. Of course the principal feature of the evening was the I hemming of the girls' aprons by j the boys, which, by the way, was jwell done—infact so much so | that it was the conclusion of all I that some of the boys had had isome experience in this work. There was a healthy spirit of rivalry apparent during the performance, every lady think ing that her partner should have the prize. Miss Olive Boyles, of Pinnacle, in some way succeeded Jin landing her partner, Mr. C. i Boyles, who won the prize, a nice tie. In addition to the above mentioned features the guests were entertained by playing many fire-side games, which were enjoyed by all present. Following are the names of those who enjoyed the excellent enter tainment given bv Mr. Edwards, as well as the hospitality and interest of Mrs. Edwards: Messrs. Wiley and Ed Edwards, Tom Ham, Charlie, Roy, Corne lius, Sam, D. L. and N. 0. Boyles, Lewis and Ernest Bowen, Clarence Boles and others; Misses Grace and Ola Ham, Pruna, Vallie, Genie and Mattie King, Olive, Ella and Rozella Boyles and others. Miss Minnie Eaton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Eaton, of Pinnacle Route 2, departed this life on Saturday night, Feb. 18. She died from that dreadful dis ease—consumption. The remains were laid to rest at the family burying-ground Monday at Olive Grove church, with a large num ber of relatives and sympathizing friends present. The deceased was one of Stokes county's most highly respected young ladies. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Mr. F. Combs, wife died on last Friday and was buried at Little Yadkin church Sunday. She leaves a husband and four chil dren, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss. It seems that apron parties have been our most amusing and entertaining events of the seas on. But in order to make a change in social circles a most exciting and side-splitting play will be pulled off at Oak Grove on Saturday, March 4th, at the close of the school. Everybody is cordially invited to come out and see it well done. SCRIBBLER. Rock salt.* Boyles Mercantile Co. ,' v Seed oats. Boyles Mercantile Co.
