God blessed us. There were
about fifty professions, thirty
three by baptism, one by letter
jand one restored. The writer
I preached a special sermon to the
[young converts last Sunday
! morning. In the afternoon
| there were three more baptized
: and one restored. Total additions

Germanton, Aug. 28. While
the Germanton, baseball nine

ground Saturday afternoon they
were supprised to see coming
across the field toward them a
crowd all dressed in yellow that
looked as though they wanted

j short time to get into position.;
! The fir»t inning of the game;

i

three triple plays by German

Lawsonville Man Invents Valuable
Machine.
A man near Lawsonville has
invented a machine that must
have a commercial value render
ing it indispensable in hundreds
of households. It is a contriv
ance which \ 'es the energy
of a cow's tail. The cow fs
tied near the house, and from
her constantly wagging caudal
appendage runs a cord which
is attached to a crank and pulley,
which in turn are connected
with a fly brush over the dining
table, a patent churn and the
baby cradle. Verily, science
hath accomplished wonderful
things.
Patent applied for.
Cuts and bruises may be heal
ed in about one-third the time
required by the usual treatment
by applying to Chamberlain's
Liniment. It is an antiseptic
and causes such injuries to heal
without maturation. *. This lini
ment also relieves soreness' of
the muscles and rheumatic pains.

CONDITION OF CROPS
MUCH IMPROVEMENT GENERAL
Tobacco Crops Have Come Out Won
derfully -Corn Is Generally Fine,
With a Largely Increased Acreage.
Farmers Can Now Plow For
Grain.
A most wonderful improve
ment has taken place in crop
conditions during the last few
days, as a result of the copious
showers of rain with which
every section of the county is
being blessed. The most re
markable come-out is noticeable
in the tobacco crop\ Late to
bacco, which many people be
lieved would hardly be worth
the saving, is growing with
leaps and bounds, and will ripen
I
in good time before the frosts.
Forward tobacco is looking
splendid, and cuttirg and cur
ing will be in ord: >- now within
a few days, .viany farmers
have already cured primings,
and report the color good. Mr.
Hayes Duggins, of Danbury,
finished a barn of primings this
week, and says it is a beauty.
The corn crop is excellent,
with a greatly increased
acreage over last year. Much
land intended for tobacco was
planted to corn, on account of
drouth conditions, and the con
sequence will be far and away
the biggest crop of corn ever.
The rains are making it fast.
If the farmers, whether on
: account of a short crop of tobac
co, or from other causes, may
realize high prices for their
: tobacco, say an increase of 23
•percent., then taking into con
; sideration the facts of a bia: corn
! crop, and general economy set.
in practice by the drouth, they
will be as a rule in better condi
tion than they were last year.
After these rains are over,
lands may be broken for the
fall grain sowing. The acreage
in wheat this fall probably will
be, and should be, larger than
ever before. But for the
splendid wheat crop this sum
mer, the farmers would have
certainly been seriously hurt.
A full grain yield for both
man and beast saved the coun

Crops Looking Well on Tobaccoville
Route Two—Successful Meeting
At Mt. Pleasant
Tobaccoville Route 2, Aug. 38.
—Crops in this section are look

There has just closed at Mt.
Pleasant M. E. church a success
ful meeting. There was a
large crowd attended the meet
ings. The weather was fine
and all seemed to be interested
in the meetings. There was
extra good preaching both day
and night. Some conversions
and several additions to the
church.

TOLL ROAD WILL PAY
GOOD INVESTMENT SU P E
The Summer Visitors Alone Would !
Pay the Interest On the Money j
—The Traffic Of All Kinds Would
Create a Handsome Surplus.
There is no question in the
minds-of conservative business
men that the proposed toll road
from Walnut Cove to Danbury
and the Buck Island bridge
would be a paying investment.
Let the capital be, say, $50,000.
The interest on this sum would
be $3,000 per year. Figuring a
fee of 25 cents to 50 cents per
head each way, the summer
visitors alone would pay the in
terest. This season about 1,500
guests have made the round trip
from Walnut Cove to Piedmont,
• even over the bad roads, paying
from $2.00 to $4.00 cash for the
i transportation, not counting
i what they paid for trunks, va
lises and other baggage. It
could quite safely be estimated
that with a fine modern turnpike,
i the number of visitors would be
trebled or quadrupled. This
is taking into consideration only
[ Piedmont. With the building of
i the road, all of the Moore's'
i Springs visitors would come this |
! way, also. Then when it is cal
. culated that a largely stimulated
• traffic of both passengers and
freight would travel the in 1
| every month of the year, the to
-11 baec crop would go out over it,
. i the fertilizers and other supplies
• come in over it, the mail use it,
• etc., etc., we are* sure the road
, would pay handsomely on the
. investment.

Mt. Airy Items.
There are those here who have j
the idea that the dog law that was
passed last summer was to be
enforced for only a few days.
The Mayor asks us to inform the
public that that law is for all
time to come and that a long for
bearing public will never again
allow worthless dogs to prowl
around public places as in the
past. Yes the law is here and
here to stay. Those who have
recently been allowing their dogs
o run at large are hereby noti
fied that there is trouble ahead.
The low water in the streams;
is seriously interfering with
business that is dependent upon !
!
power furnished by the city's;
power house. They tell us that
there is now less water in the
streams in this section than at
any time this year. Springs are
ceasing to flow that were never
known to fail before. The wheels
at the power house are run about
six hours during the day and
sometime not that long The re
cent rains were not sufficient
to wet the earth to any depth
and the real drouth is yet with
us.
Buy it now. Now is the time to!
buy a bottle of Chamberlain's |
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. It is almost certain to
i be needed before the summer, is

|R. F. FIiLK'S FARM
PLEASANT VISIT THERE
Mr B. F. Bynum, of Germanton,
Wakes a Trip to See His Old
Friends On the Little Yadkin.
Germanton, Aug. 28.
Dear Editor :
Last week I make a little trip
to Pinnacle and vicinity, and
while up there I went down to
visit my old friends, Riley Fulk
and Mr. G. W. Barr, who live
on Spring Valley Farm, lying,
on little Yadkin River. Mr.
Barr has been blind for twenty
five years or more. He lost his
eye sight fighting fire. He is
now in his 84th year and is hale
and hearty. He takes life very
quietly and looks on the bright
side.
Mr. Fulk carried me over his
farm of 400 acres and I saw
some very fine corn on his 1 well
cultivated bottoms. He and his
sons and tenants have between
30 and 40 acres of fine tobacco
on the up-lands, though a hail
storm passed over that section
on the 12th of August and dam
aged their crop probably SSOO,
j but they will yet make a splen
did crop if no other accident
happens.
Mr. Fulk is greatly improving
his land by sowing peas, clover
and other grasses. His peas
are looking well for the season
and he can mow a fine crop of
hay the first of September.
in walking over tha place we
rested i.i tin* shade at some of
the fine springs with which it is
dotted and drank of the pure
j clear water that fi >ws from the
| hill-sides and if you want tu en
i joy old-time hospitality with
• plenty of the good things of the
! farm to eat such as fried chick
i en, snap beans, roasting-sars,
tomatoes and good cold milk,
pay a visit to Spring Valley
Farm.
With best wishes for the Re
porter.

TOBACCO WILL SELL HIGH
The Crop Is Going to Bring Good
Prices This Fall —This Is a Fore
gone Conclusion.
It is given up by nearly every
body now that tobacco is bound
to bring a good pries this year.
The indications all point that
way. The Reporter copies the
following items from this week's
isse of the Reidsville Review,
as bearing on the subject:
Mr. W. T. Barber, who has
been buying tobacco for the Im
perial Tobacco Company at Lake
I City, S. C., returned home Satur
day and will go to Smithfield this
week where he will be stationed
for the next two or three months.
Mr. Barber says the crop in
South Carolina is short this year
and already three-fourths of it
has been marketed. He says the
weed is selling very high, averag
ing around fifteen cents.
Our countvman, Mr. Henry W.
McGehee, who runs a warehouse
at Nichols, S. C., has been mak
ing some record-breaking sales
this season. One day recently
he sold over 25,000 pounds at an
average above $19.00. On another
' day he sold 45,000 pounds at
' average of $16.50. The tobacco
was nearly all "in the rough"
—ungraded stripped leaves.
These are good prices and show
that tobacco is in good demand
and will doubtless sell at satis
factory prices all this season.
