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.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE
YOUTH'S COMPANION.
We have had to make The
Youth's Companion larger to
get in all the good things that
Companion readers ought to
have. The added amount would
make four hundred pages of
standard magazine size and
print; but we have kept the
price just the same—sl.7s for
the fifty-two weeks of 1911.
We would like to tell you what
is in store for Companion read
ers during 1911. We cannot do
it here, though; there is not
room. But send us your address
on a postal card, and we will
send you the beautiful Pros
pectus of the Companion for
1911, announcing many new
features, together with sample
copies of the paper.
We think you will agree,
when you have read them, that
there is no other paper that
gives quite so much of such a
high quality as The Companion.
The new subscriber receives a
gift of The Companion's Art
Calendar for 1911, reproducing
in twelve colors and gold a
beautiful water-color garden

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.
