NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL
ORGANIZED AT KING ON 19TH
Will Be Held At Baptist Cburch
But Is Not A Denominational
School Cordial Invitation Ex
tended to the Public.
King, March 27. —A Sunday
School was organized at King
Baptist church Sunday the 19th.
The Sunday School unanimously
voted to extend a cordial invita
tion to the surrounding com
munity of all denominations.
We do not see why we should
not have an enrollment of two
hundred, as there is no other
school near here. As teachers
are not elected yet, we hope to
get able and efficient teachers
for all classes. We wish also to
announce that on next Sunday
we want to organize a Barrocco
class for the benefit of the young
men of our community.
Literature will be here next
Sunday, and we wish to say
that we are not running a de
nominational Sunday School, but
a Sunday School for all, and we
sincerely give this invitation to
all. Sunday School opens strict
ly at 10:30 A. M.
We are trusting that God will
lead and direct this work and
bless every effort put forth for
the betterment of his plan of
Salvation.

Editor Reporter :
What has become of your

Reporter readers like some times
to see our names in print, and
know what is what, and who is
who, and if there is anything
newsy on our side of the county,
your readers ought to know it.
If the Reporter wants to keep

a lady can gather more news in
a day than we men can can get

tion from our Grand Chancellor,
three ranks or degrees were
conferred on Dr. W. C. Slate

Rabbit Hu .urn to Fishing—
Farmers L .uind With Their Work.
King, N. C., March 27.—1t is
learned that Mr. T. B. Smith, of
King Route 2, lost a pocket book
containing several dollars. Find
er will please return same to
owner.
Last Thursday was the time
to plant Irish potatoes, and we
learn that there was a lot of
them planted.
We have a lot of rabbit hun
ters in this section, but of late
the rabbit is no good, and those
rabbit hunters have changed
their occupation and gone to fish
ing. They went the other night
and it was so cold that their
lines froze fast. The idlesome
man is said to be the devil's work
shop. But some folks think be
cause the apostle Peter was a
fisherman that they must be a
fisherman a'so.
Owing to the cold, wet weath
er the farmers of this section are
behind with their work.
A lot of our farmers are
through selling their tobacco,
but they now have a nice path
to their plant-beds at which place
they make special visits to watch
those little things grow.
We understand that there is a
very strange voice being heard
over the phone line that is caus
ing some trouble to the service.
I The detectives are watching to
i catch the guilty one.
As the writer was out driving
! the other day I saw a strange
j looking sight, and what do you

TWO WAREHOUSES
FOR HUSTLING WALNUT COVE
To Be Erected In Time To Handle
Their Share of the 1911 Crop of
Tobacco —Will Be Leased to Ex
perienced and Wealthy Ware
houseman For Term of Five Years.
Mr. John G. Fulton, manager
of the Stokes Wholesale Grocery
Co., at Walnut Cove, spent last
night in Danbury. Mr. Fulton,
when asked about the prospect
of his town having a tobacco
warehouse, stated that it was
now an assured fact that Walnut
Cove is to have two modern
warehouses for the sale of leaf
tobacco, and that they would be
erected in time to handle their
share of the 1911 crop of the weed.
The warehouses, which will be
built by a stock company, will be
leased to a wealthy, experienced
warehouseman, who is a non
resident of the county, for a term
of five years, the stock company
to receive ten per cent, on the
money invested for the rent of
the houses.
The gentleman who agrees to
lease the houses has subscribed
one thousand dollars to the enter
prise. The other stock will be
taken by citizens of the county,
principally the business men of
Walnut Cove.
Riding the Goat.
Dr. Slate and Sheriff Jones were
initiated into the mystic rites of
Pythianism at Germanton Satur
day night. It is said that the
Germanton goat is a strenuous
proposition. Its head is hard, its
horns are long and it votes all
the time. Luther McKenzie
keeps it penned up tight, and
feeds it on old tin and barbed
wire three times a day, to keep
it mean. Consequently its ap
petite is very much depraved.
When Wes and Charley were
tied on, that goat, licking its
chops from a recent meal of to
mato cans, did some stunts
which have been likened unto
something awful by those who
enjoyed the scene. Charley
reached for his gun, and Wes
for his sulphuric acid, but both
victims had been precautiously
disarmed, and they had to suffer.
It took nine big men like Hardin
McGee and B. J. Savage to keep
them from breaking out before
the fun began, but after the
goat had finished, they were
quite subdued. Indeed, it lias
been hinted that restoratives
were applied.
New Methodist Church For Stew
art's School House Section.
The members of the M. E.
church in the vicinity of Stew

The building will be 24 by 30
feet in size and will be located
on a pretty ground about one
fourth mile this side of Stewart's
School House. Messrs. O. J.
•Cates, Jas. Lasley, C. R. Hutch
