Sheriff Jones and Sam Stuart
May io Into Business—A
Beautiful and Ware
Christmas Present.
It is rumored that a tobacco
warehouse will be established
at Walnut Cove h the near
future. The parties behind the
movement are Mr. J. F. King,
a well known leaf buyer of Win
ston. and some Martinsville, Va..
people whose names have not
been learned. It is expected
that the new warehouse will
be erected in time to handle the
1913 crop.

business at Walnut Cove the

The Reporter representative
was shown by Capt. R. L.
Murphy a necklace made of
gold and roserpetals. It is a
beautiful creation, and in its
case, prepared as a Christmas
present for a friend, you could
easily detect the fragrance of the
roses, which clung around it.
The chain was made by Mrs. R. I.
Murphy, and is certainly a work
of rare art, and one which does
eminent credit to Mrs. Murphy's
deft fingers. Capt. Murphy
stated that the rose-petals were
ground in a meat chopper, until
in a compact mass, and were
then woven into balls. The balls
were then strung on a gold
chain, alternating with gold
balls the same size of the rose
leaf balls, forming a most rare
and beautiful chain.
