NEWS OF .CAMPBELL
MANY DEATHS RECORDED
Sunday.School Convention,at Delta
Protracted Keeling to Begin at
Oak Ridge Crops Fairly Good
Campbell, July 24.—Death,
tho grim reaper, has been busy
in our section for several
months. We give below a list
of those recently called from
time to eternity, since our lust
letter :
Evelyn, the 10 year old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Watkins; A lon 7.0, the three
week's old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ewell Hutcherson; the infant
son of Charlie Shelton, whose
mother died quite recently at
Carter's Mills, Va.; the infant of
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Wood, aged
0 months; one of the infant
twins of Mr. and Mrs. John
Ferguson; Mrs. John Shelton,
and one week later her baby
died, aged about 10 days; Mrs.
Mammie Martin Land ret h died
last week and was buried at the
home of Mr. T. Martin.
She leaves a husband, 5 child
ren and many relatives to
mourn their loss. During her
last illness she professed strong
faith in Christ, and died trust
ing his power to save her.
Burial services were conducted
by Miss Viola Smith, who paid
a loving and fitting tribute to
the gentle faith and christian
1 life of this dear mother and
friend, May the words of this
dear lost one be not soon for
gotten by those left behind.
Mrs. Will Murphy continues
quite ill. On last Sunday
services were conducted in her
home by Elders. Priddy and
Mabe, after which she related
her christian experience to the
church and was gladly received
into their fe'lowship.
It was the writer's good for
tune to attend the Sunday
School convention at Delta.
An excellent program of songs,
drills, marches, recitations, etc.,
was rendered, and the audience
was delighted with the fine
singing and beautiful decora
tion. Dinner was served on
the grounds, after which Oak
Ridge Sunday School presented
a short program. Most of the
children were small from this
school, made one think of olden
time singing : "Out of the
mouths of babes and suck
lings than hast perfected
praise." We cannot bring our
little ones to Jesus as did those
mothers of old, but we can at
least do our part to bring them
up in the way they should go,
trusting to God that when they
get older they will not depart
from it. We do not know of no
better way than this to carry
I them to the Sunday School. No
one pretends to teach them
Christianity, only tell them of
our Father and His love.
The protracted meeting will
begin at Oak liidge the first
Sunday in August. Everybody
is invited to come, and all will
be heartily welcome.
Crons are fairly good consider
ing the dry 1 season, while we
• have had more rain than other
sections. Still we have not had
as much as needed. There is
not half a crop of tobacco
around here, and what we have
is small and late. Irish potatoes
are almost a total failure, and
snap beans are scarce. Wheat
I turned out very well, some
averaging 15 bushels to the
1 bushel sown.

A Letter From Fries. Va.
Fries, Va.. July 22.
Dear Reporter:
Ties that bind me to the old
hearth stone and to the old folks
I reverence who used to spank
me when I was little to make me
a good boy, turn my thoughts to
j the Old North State and cause
!me to search your columns for
news of home and of home folks.
Am at Fries, a little town
nestled in the valley on the crys
tal span of New River, in Grayson
county, Va., near the west line
of Carroll county, 45 miles from
Pulaska, 5 miles from Grayson
Springs, 17 miles from Inde
. pcndence, the county seat of
| Grayson, 5 miles of Galax, where
the twin county Fairs for both
; counties, Grayson and Carroll are
i held each year. Am as well con
! tent as I am liable to be any
| where. We have good neigh-
I bors. I love the people and the
[country. My family is healthy,
happy and content. The ties
that bind my heartstrings
about the old hearthstone, and
j fond recollections that bring my
i childhoold play-houses to view
| incline me to home and loved
| ones.
Old New River, figuring
j only as a snake's path on our
1 country's map, is one of the
| grandest in point of water power
ion the continent. Soon to be
| proven and put into use by the
gigantic plans presented by the
I Power Company now at work
! along her borders developing her
I power that has so long run un
hindered toward the ocean
| waste. In point of scenery New
River presents some of the most
wonderful features. Finding
source in Watauga county, N. C,,
far back between the Blue Ridge
and the main chain of the Alle
ighanies, she winds her way
| across, carving each outlying
j chain of the mountains, to the
1 Canoway river, thence to the
! Mississippi and the Gulf of
Mexico. Rising in the Holley
1 and rhododendron, crossing the
outlying ranges of one of the
! grandest chains of mountains on
I the continent, she winds her
way to the floral dells of the
| tropics, carving a path of floral
romance and beauty, the charms
of which by the loves of natures
handwork can only be seen to be
appreciated. The town is peace
j able and orderly. Occasion for
arrest is a rare occurrence,
j Pointing to the lock-up seems
[sufficient to restore peace and
I (juiet when disorder arises. All
! forms of gambling is frowned
down. Whiskey is not allowed
;to retailed in any form at all.
i The Company has erected
' public Lyceum, designed for the
entertainment and recreation of
| their weary employees where
any one may go and enjoy roller
skating, see the moving pictures,
enjoy public speaking, theatrical
performances. A public reading
room provided with the popular
journals of the day. With all I
have written of the Lyceumn
which only affords pleasant pas
time, entertainment and innocent
amusement for any one who may
choose to enjoy it, where good
order is invariably preserved.
Some call it the company's wheel
of fortune only designed to re
turn their nickle to them. Such
are usually blind to anything not
embraced within the church
walls. Without wide awake to
all that yields to them a penny.
The company is far sighted and
wide awake to their own interest,
It is true, seeking the best harv
est from their investment
shrewd in business—drive sharp
bargains and draw strict con
tracts, though liberal in many
ways. The smartest and best
men and women are employed by
them, and rewarded according to
services rendered. Their aim is
to make the best cloth and get
the greatest yield from their
looms for the number of hands
employed, turning everything to
best account possible. Theylown
many hundred acres of land on
which Fries is located.

BUMPER CROP OF
CORN IN STOKES
Mr. W. A. Petree Points Out the
Great Importance Of Attendance
At the Farmers' Institutes at Dan
bury and Walnut Cove.
Mr. Editor :
While we entered tho present
crop season with less water in
the soil than usual, and while
the rain-fall has been much less
than usual since the corn crop
was planted, and some of our
farmers have against our advice,
left their corn too thick on the
land. Yet notwithstanding the
dry weather most of them have
by proper methods of culture
conserved what little water
there was in the soil and made
the best possible use of it in the
growing of their corn crops.
And should it be reasonable
from now on there will be,
perhaps, the largest corn crop
made in Stokes this year that
has ever been grown in the
county.
Now just a word about the
Farmers' Institutes at Danbury
and Walnut Cove this year. I
want to insist that the farmers
of the county attend one of
these meetings, either at Dan
bury on August the 9th or else
at Walnut Cove on August 10th.
And especially I do want all of

our farm demonstrators in the
county to attend the meetings.
It is not so much a question as
to whether or not you can
afford to lose the time to attend
these meetings, but the question
is : Can you afford not to at
tend them. Last year there
were over 1,000 specialists ap
pointed to instruct the farmers
in such meetings, and over
2,395,908 attendants. And
when we remember these men
have been specially prepared to
teach the farmers and help them
to better suceed in their busi
ness, we should see that we
cannot afford to miss going to
hear them when we have an ap
pointment to do so.
May say that Mrs. C. R.
Hudson, wife of our State
Agent in the Farmers Demons
tration work, will be at Dan
bury to assist in the Women's

Let us all go and have a good
and profitable time.

BIG TIMEJXPECTED
AT DANBURY, AUGUST 12
Hon, Joel B. Hart, of Tennessee,
to Address the Farmers At The
Picnir.
Westfield, July 31.
The Danbury Reporter:
To the members of the Farm
ers' Union:
At the recent State meeting of
the Union "we secured the services
of the Hon. Joel B. Hart, of
Tennessee, and he will be at our
picnic at Danbury on the 12th of
August, and deliver one of
his great speeches. It is worth
going miles to hear, as he has
been in the work for many years
and in fact was the first man to
advocate the pooling system as
the only rational way of handling
or selling tobacco. Mr. B. F.
Conner, of Danville, will also be
there and possibly Mr. Hill, of
Granville county, N. C. So you
see there are great things in
store for us. Be sure and come
but don't forget that basket.
Yours truly,

Certain Times Best to Cut and Cure
Tobacco.
Mr. Editor:
Forty-six years ago, just after
returning from a four years
service in the Confederate army,
I began the work of growing to
bacco. A few years later I dis
covered that there were certain
dates to cut the weed in order
that it might have a heavy body
and cure up easily and with
brightness of color. Since that
discovery I have heen very at
tentive in studying the nature of
tobacco while growing on the hill
and the result of my experience
and much study is that I have
found how to tell the dates in
each season. There is a sap in
tobacco as in a tree. It also at
intervals, contains an oily sub
stance. When the sap (water)
rises in tobacco it runs the oil
out, as oil and water will not
mix, is a fact that we all know.
When the sap is out it leaves
only the oil and if then cut it
will cure up "oily and waxy" as
some express it. Tobacco makes
these changes as long as it
remains on the hill. Farmers
have experienced cutting one
week and their tobacco cures up
nicely—good and then cut a
week later off the same piece of
ground and it will cure mean by
"sweating" and turning black.
The latter is because the sap is
in tobacco instead of oil, which
goes to show that tobacco should
be cut at a certain time. I will
gladly correspond with those who
will enclose a stamp for replp.
Yours truly,

AN irin ERECTING REVIVAL
Many Conversions and Several
Added to the Church —Fire On
Pinnacle Route 2.
King, August I.—One of the
most interesting revivals has just
closed at Chestnut Grove M. E.
church. The meeting seemed to
be interesting to both Baptist and
Methodist. They all worked to
gether in union and seemed to be
in harmony with each other.
The weather was fine, and a
large crowd attended the meet
ing all the week and special good
order prevailed during the whole
time. There were many con
versions and a goodly number
was added to the church and
many seemed deeply con
victed on account of tneir sins.
There were good sermons preach
ed day and night. It was what
one might call a union meeting
in which religion was revived in
general. Those that took part
in the meeting were Rev. Richer
son, of Pilot Mt., N. C.; Rev.
Norman, of Yadkin county, N.
C.; Rev. P. Oliver, of King Route
2, N. C.; and Rev. J. M. King,
of Piney Mt., N. C., which lasted
eight days, closing July 30. Rev.
P. A. Simmons, of Vade Mecum,
and Rev. J. M. King, of Piney
Mt., will hold a several days'
meeting at Olive Grove Baptist
church, beginning the first Sun
day in August at 11 o'clock. All
are invited to come out and hear
these men speak.
Mr. E. W. Lane and Alex
Hooker, of Pinnacle Route 2,
happened to the misfortune of
losing their house and contents
by fire one day last week. The
fire originated from a defective
flue. They lost all their wheal
and meat. A few things were
saved. These men lived on rent
ed land. They belong to the
Farmers' Union ; they have the
sympathy of all. The Farmers'
Union will see after the needs of
these two men. They will ap
preciate any service rendered
them. None but those who have
experience knows how one feels
to see all that he has going up
in flames.
