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.

THE COMET NOW VISIBLE
Celestial Wanderer Now Visible In
Northeastern Sky —Can Be Seen
In Tbe Constellation Cephus
R/vtk's cornet, the newly dis
covered heavenly wonder, which
was discovered less than three
months ago, is now visible to the
naked eye. 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.
Diarrhoea is always more or
less less prevalent during Sep
tember. Be prepared for it
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy is prompt
and effectual It can always be
depended upon and is pleasant
to take. For sale by all deal

NEWS OF OAK GROVE
SAVING THE TOBACCO CROP
Is Now the Order of the Day—An
Impressive Sermon—A Surprise
Birthday Dinner.
Oak Grove. Sept, 11.—Priming,
cutting and curing tobacco and
pulling fodder is all the rush
now adays. 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.
Mr. J. H. Gibson, who has had
typhoid fever, is able to sit up
again now.
Mr. J. E. Wilson is all smiles
now adays, it's a fine boy.
Mr. C. H. Boyles, of Pinnacle
Route 2, is in good humor now,
and it's a boy. Mr. Boyles has
bought some more land and says
he is going to farm some now.
The Farmers' Union is doing
some good for the farming class
in some sections. They have
caused a drop in kerosene oil
from IS cents per gallon to 8
cents per gallon and many other
articles in proportion.
A lot of the young people of
this section are attending the
school at Dan bury preparing
themselves for teaching.
There was a surprise birth
day dinner at Mr. A. J. Smith's
last Sunday. A large crowd
was present.
SCRIBBLER.
FORCED TO LEAVE HOME
Every year a large number of
of poor sufferers, whose lungs
are sore and racked with coughs,
are urged to go to another cli
mate. But this is costly and
not always sure. There's a bet
ter way. Let Dr. King's New
Discovery cure you at home. "It
cured me of lung trouble," writes
W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark.,
"when all else failed and I gained
47 pounds in weight. Its surely
the king of all cough and lung
cures.' Thousands owe their lives
and health to it. It's positively
guaranteed for Coughs, Colds,
LaGrippe, Asthma, Croup—all
Throat and Lung troubles. 60c &

BALL CAME THURS.
uuRY LOSES AGAIN
Game Between The Locals And The
Visiting School Boys Called Off
On Account Of Darkness.
The second ball game played
here Thursday between Danbury
and the School Boys was a very
nice game, but a little one sided.
The game was called to play by
umpire W. R. Stewart at 4:30
o'clock P. M. Carter pitched
the >rame throughout for the
School Boys, and did some fine
work.
Danbury's pitcher, Culier, was
batted out of the box in the
fourth frame, and Ray succeeded
him. The game was called off
on account of darkness, and
Ray only pitched three innings
and only allowed one safe hit.
The School Boys ran.away with
Danbury in the fourth frame,
scoring 8 runs. They al
lowed Danbury to score only in
the first and second frames
The School Boys have
won the victory of the best two
out of three. The last game
resulted in a score of 11 to 2
in favor of the School Boys.
The bright and good looking
young ladies, who are attending
the school here, rooted for the
School Boys and did them
much good.

TRIP TO SHEEP ROCK.
Pleasant Tramp By Party of YounJ
People.
Wednesday evening of last
week a crowd of Danbury's
young people paid a delightful
visit to Sheep Rock, an inter
esting point on the side of the
mountain a mile and a half from
town. The start was made at
5:30 and the destination reached
about 6:30.
On the way to the rock, one
of the gentlemen got very much
interested in a muscidine vine
and came very near forgetting
| his basket on the roadside and
|would have had it not been for
! the thoughtfulness of a gentle
j men in the rear.
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.
After spending a very pleas*
ureable hour or two with water
melons. moonshine and chigoes,
the crowd returned home.
The party was as follws: Mrs.
E. C. Edmonds and Mrs. H. M.
