TENDANCE.
At the Tegular quarterly meet- 4

ers' E. and C. U. of A. a resolu
tion was introduced and adopted
by a unaminous vote looking to
the early building of a tobacco fac
tory at Walnut Cove for the
manufacture of the pooled
tobacco. A committee consisting
of several leaders of the Union
in the county was appointed to
formulate plans, confer with
wealthy farmers in regard to
what amounts of stock in the
proposed factory may be enlist
ed, etc. The report was current
here Saturday that B. J. Savage,
of Germanton, and W. M. Watts,
of Walnut Cove, among the
county's wealthiest citizens and
farmers, would subscribe liber
ly for the stock, the former
agreeing, it was said, to take as
much as $lO,OOO. The matter
was discussed in the meeting
with a good deal of enthusiasm.
The following officers were
either elected or re-elected for
the ensuing year :
R. L. Nunn, President.
J. R. Martin, Vice-President

Misrepresentations Circulated By
Enemies of Dry Prizery, Corrected
Certain enemies of the Union
Warehouse Company have circul
ated the report that Oscar Lash,
a colored man, offered to pool
at Walnut Cove, and the price
tendered him was so low that
he carried his tobacco to the
warehouse, where he sold it for a
much higher price. The report
is entirely untrue. The facts
are as follows: Lash brought
his-tobacco to our plant, but
under the rules of the organiza
tion,- he was not allowed to pool
on account of the fact that his
tobacco was found to be encum
bered with debt. He then took
it to the warehouse and was paid
less than we would have offered
him, which was 8 1-2 cents
average.

Cissy Negro Brought Back to Jail.
Dave Finney, a crazy negro,
who was some timesince brought
to jail here and later released,
has again become violently insane
and was brought back to jail a
few days since. He is giving
the authorities considerable
trouble, having to be kept tied
in his cell all the time. An effort
is being made to get him in the
insane asylum at Goldsboro, and
he will probably be sent there in
a few days.

Walnut Cove, Dec. 11.—Mr.

Central Monday and said he was
on his way to Winston to see his
daughter, who has been sick
, with fever for seven weeks. We
are glad to know she is a little
better
Dod Watts and John R. Smith
had a sparring match and after
the smoke of the battle had
cleared away, Mr. Smith had a
gash on his head made by a
stone in the hands of Dod Watts,
and Dod in turn had a sore head
caused by a stick in the hands
of John R. Smith.
There has been a stock com-
Eany formed by the base ball

The Roanoke and Southern in

ran an Agricultural train from
Roanoke to Winston-Salem, stop
ping two hours here on last Sat
urday morning. One speaker
made a talk to the school chil
dren and three made talks to
the farmers, one on soil culture,
and one on beautifying the
country homes, and last but not
least one on good roads and the
advantages to be derived there
from. The agricultural display
was just fine and taking it all
together it was very helpful and
instructive.
Mr. J. E. Cookers has moved
| in his new house on Main St.
j Mr. James Tuttle has moved
in' Mr. John Davis house.
The roller mill has been shut
down for ten days owing to hav
ing some needed repairs done to

ing quite a success of the mill

•is having lumber put on the lot
where he will soon commence
the erection of a brick block.
Does It Pay to Advertise ?
Mr. M. D. Hart, of Birming
ham, Ala., wished to sell his
one-third interest in a lot of land
in Stokes. He put an ad in the
Reporter one time, and then
j ordered the ad out, for he sold
his property to a Winston man
who saw the ad, in less than a
week. i

! you advertise in the Reporter, it

meat they have ever made.
Work like this means prosperity
to the homes of the people.
The people ought to remember
that in some way or other the

there is no time to be lost.

MR. ROSS TO SPEAK
l
COMING TO THE CORN SHOW
Saturday, December 23, Will Wit
ness Really a Very Interesting
and Important Event at the Re
porter Office —Many Corn Grow
ers Probably Coming.
The announcement of the Corn
Show to be given at the Dan
bury Reporter office on Satur
day, December 23, seems to
have struck a very popular chord
in a number of sections of the
county. Already samples of
corn are coming in to be entered
for the prizes. The first person
to enter is Mr. 4 Walter L. Nel
son, of Danbury Route I, who
sends an ear which will be hard
to beat
Remember the contest is open
to any corn grower of Stokes
county, man, woman or child,
and the prizes to be awarded
are as follows:
For the best ear, $5.00 in gold
given by the Danbury Reporter.
For the second best ear $2.00
in cash, given by the Bank of
Stokes County.
For the third best ear, 1 year's
subscription to the Danbury
Reporter.
In all probability there will be
a good sized crowd at entrees
here to contest for the prizes,
from various sections of the
County. The judges who will
render the decisions, are Messrs.
I. G. Ross, J. Spot Taylor and
W. H. Flinchum.
An interesting feature of the
occasion will be a corn speech
by Mr. I. G. Ross, the head of
the county corn demonstration
work. The following better
just received from Mr. Ross ex
plains itself:
"Locust Hill Farm, Dec. 9.
"Editors of the Reporter :
"As I am a judge at the Corn
Show, I want to say to the corn
growers of the community that
I will be toere to talk to them
about seed corn, how to choose
it iind what kind is best suited
t6 their localities, and what is
required of an ear to be a good
sud ear. I want as many as can
to be there, for knowing good
seed corn would be adding great
ly to the average of our acres,
and a great incease to our next
years' corn crop.
"I. G. ROSS."
Hunt through your corn pile,
Eick out two or three of your
est ears, you may get one of
the prizes.
A full account of the show,
together with the names of the
prize-winners will be published
in the Reporter the following
issue.

The above shows the standing
of the contestants in the Popular
Voting Contest as the Reporter
goes to press today.
Since the last issue of the Re
porter went out, a large number
of votes have been issued, and a
good many of them cast. One
man alone received 4,950 votes,
which he declined to cast now,
and which he remarked he
would hold till later develop
i ments.
Miss Daisy Dearmin, the lead
[er this week, is the deservedly
popular daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Dearmin, of Westfield.
Miss Daisy is well known, es
pecially in the western part of
the county, where she has many
friends. She is certain to make
a good run in this contest. No
one has yet ventured a predic
tion as to who will win the high
est vote and receive the silver
engraved cup. It would be
much easier to say who will go
on the trip to the ocean, than to
speculate on the cup-winner.
Because a girl has eight chances
to go to the sea-coast where she
has one to win the highest vote
premium. «
The votes will pour in during
and after Christmas. During
the week from Dec. 25 to the
31st there will be many social

events and gatherings at which
the crowds will speculate on the
winners, and on these happy
occasions thousands of votes will
be cast for the various candi
dates, when the holiday feeling
runs high, and the generous
Christmas spirit is abroad in the
land. Some of the friends of
the girls, as is the custom in
these contests, will get in bug
gies and scour the neighbor
hoods for votes, and the figures
will run high.
The publishers of the Repor
ter find it necessary to omit the
printed coupons from the paper
after December 27. No coupons
will be printed during the re
mainder of the contest which
runs into the new year. The
reason for this ruling is on ac
count of the difficulty of count
ing the coupons, which would
otherwise pour in by the thou
sands on the last day. All cou
pons being held should be sent
in by the first of January, if
possible. No coupons received
after January 10 will be counted.
All coupons received up to and
including January 10 will be
counted.
Remember it costs nothing to
vote, and all amounts paid on
subscription, job work or adver
tising are good for votes.
Save every coupon, get every
subscriber you can, as every
vote will be valuable in electing
your favorite young lady. But
remember she will need every
every one you can muster.
