J. Byerly, of Mount Airy, Visited Danbury and Walnut Cov Mr. W. J. Byerly, Preside the Bank of Mt. Airy, ar. .j' is also one of the largest jck-1 holders and one of the directors | and the Special Examiner of the! Bank ot Stokes County, was here j two or three days this week, ex amining and checking up the Danbury bank. He also spent some time at Walnut Cove this week examining the Walnut Cove bank. Mr. Byerly was well pleased with the growth of the Stokes County Bank in which he t is interested. By careful man-1 agement and conservative policy, he finds the bank year after year growing stronger through the in crease of its surplus, and Mr. Byerly was much gratified to find the institution enjoying the con fidence and the liberal patronage of all classes of the people of the county. I Mr. Byerly has been designa ted by the State Bank Examiner as one of the best posted, most conservative and most success ful bankers in North Carolina. The Bank of Stokes County is fortunate in its connection with this astute and able financer. His bank at Mount Airy has a capital of $50,000, and a cash surplus of $20,000, making $70,000 protection to its officers. There is no stronger and more conservative Bank in the State. A Bunch of Winston-Salem To bacco Boys. Messrs. Geo. S. Norfleet, of Piedmont Warehouse; John Simpson and Arch Bennett, of Brpwn's, and Pete Gorreli, of Farmers, have been in town and the vicinity for several days talking with the farmers, esti mating the size of the tobacco crop, and shaking- hands with their friends. Here is a bunch of the best posted tobacco men in the State, and there are no better friends of the Stokes county farmers anwhere. While they realize that the pooling of the tobacco crop, or any part of it, may in that degree work in jury to their business, yet have we learned of either of these boys, by no- word or act, doing anything to hinder the success of the Union farmers in securing better prices for their crop. Some of these fellows have been j farmers themselves. All of them are farmers at heart. Whether tobacco usually sells high or low, it is certain that the Norfleets, John Simpson, Arch Bennett and the GorreM boys are always found at work trying to get the highest prices for their farmer patrons and friends. The Reporter talked with all of them and their unan imous opinion was that tobacco will sell high this fall, and that those Stokes county farmers who choose to selkwith them on the Winston-Salem marl Ast might be assured of the best prices that any market in the world would give. 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.
