THE DANBURY REPORTER. VOLUME XXXIX. FROM ROCKINGHAM LETTER FROM R. L. NUNN Calls For County Meeting of Union On the 30th—At the Partinft of the Ways. Reidsville, Sept. 11. Editors Reporter : To the members of the Stokes County Farmers' Union I would like to say that we will hold our next county meeting on Satur day, Sept 30th, at 10 o'clock A. M. This will be the regular meet ing for the third quarter and will be an important one We want each local to have a full delegation and try to get each member to come. Especially do we want each member who has pledged his tobacco to attend this meeting. Please take a day off and attend to your own busi ness, as this meeting is for that purpose- Try and get to Dan bury punctually at 10 o'clock, as I will address the convention for 30 or 40 minutes on an important matter which we will have to contend with at this meeting The County Council will be ex pected to meet on Friday night at one of the hotels at 8 o'clock. So let each member of the Union make a special effort to attend this meeting I am in Rockingham county now assisting in completing the pool down here We find all the good Union men of this county determined to win the battle or die trying Brother Union man of Stokes | county, we are at the parting of the ways on what we do in the next few months. The success or downfall of the Union in this county depends on our actions. If you will only be loyal and true success is ours. But on the other hand, if you prove unfaith ful to the cause you can't expect anything but defeat. The ware houses are going to make tobac co sell high this time, or at least do their best to do so, and they will try to convince you that there is no use to pool if you can get your price on the warehouse floor. Mr. Joel B. Fort says find out what your enemy wants you to do and then don't do it. I call that good advice. The ware house buying must go before we ever reach success, for of all the farces the world has ever seen auction sales of tobacco on a warehouse floor is the greatest. So be on your guard, watch the enemy, be loyal to the Union, stand up for your rights and don't do what your enemy wants you to do. Your fraternally, R. L. NUNN. Pres.

It is not a stupendous, flaming body flashing through the skies like some of its fellow wanderers, but is distinctly vis ible and is receiving great at tention from astronomers. All the observatories of the country are fixing their lenses on the heavenly tramp. Last Friday night the comet was un der observation by astronomers at the Naval observatory. The observations were made through the twelve-inch glass, and the body appeared surprisingly large. The comet is moving rapidly in a northwesterly direction. It is now visible in the constellation Caphus, which at 9 o'clock ih the evening is in the northeastern sky. It appears as a star of small magnitude. It is now in the best position for observation about 9 or 10 o'clock in the even ing. Because of the brightness of the moon at present the bril liancy of the wanderer is decreas ed. The mists which have been overcasting the skies lately have kept astronomers from seeing the come at its best. The celestial tramp is now abqut 49,500,000 miles from the earth. On September 17 it will be at its nearest point to the earth, about 45,000,000 miles. In October it will reach its peri helion, its nearest approach to the sun.

A lot of tobacco has been cut and cured and the re port is a very good cure Since the rains have fall en, late tobacco is doing fine Rev. J E Simmons, of the Vade Mecum section, preached a very impressive sermon at Oak Grove school house on last Sun day He used for his text a very good passage of scripture found in first John, second chapter and tenth" and eleventh verses which reads as follows : He that loveth his brother abid eth in thee and there is no oc casion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in dark ness and knoweth not whither he goeth because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. The writer was somewhat surprised to find such a change as has taken place at Oak Grove with not much Sunday School and singing choir with no female voices to be heard It seems like there has been a cyclone or some great calamity had swept over that section, but hope they will reorganize and have a gjod school yet There is not much sickness in the neighborhood at this writing.

Many queer voices were heard !in the bushes on the wayside [ but nothing very made its appearance as we jour nied on. Two boys and two girls dis covered a watermelon patch, , which on closer investigation proved to be very prolific, and it was consequently raided to the satisfaction of the crowd.
