DANBURY REPORTED VOLUME XL. BILL INTRODUCED Representative D. V. Carroll Put Stokes Road Bill Before Legislature Saturday. ELECTION IN MARCH Bill Will Not Likely Be Passed In Time For Commissioners To Call Election At Regular February Meeting Next Monday. Representative D. V. Carroll, of Stokes county, introduced in the House of Representatives last Saturday the bill providing for an election on the question of issuing bonds for building j roads in the various townships j of Stokes county. It was hoped by the good 1 roads advocates that the bill could be passed in time for the county commissioners to call the elections in the various townships at their regular meet ing next Monday, but it is very probable that this cannot be done, and a special meeting of the commissioners will be necessary some time early in February, just as soon as the bill is passed by the Legislature, ana the elections will be ordered at this special meeting. As it is necessary to give thirty days notice before holding an election it will probably be about the 10th or 15th of March before a vote can be had on the question. In response to numerous re quests from-our readers the Re porter will in the near future print the full text of the bill to be voted upon.

Now, my friends, it is im -1 portant that you should attend I these meetings as I have import ant business with you, and I ; will bring you good news. There i has never been a time in the history of the order in this county when prospects were so bright. If we stand together this year we will get better prices on fertilizer than we did . last year as four big fertilizer companies that have never made prices before have now made I prices to us which are lower | than prices made last year. We will pool tobacco again ! this year at Walnut Cove and we want each member to be j loyal and true, and if we will 'do this the Union will be pro fitable to us. Take the matter of co-opera tive buying in the Union and 1 contend that the Union has saved for its members in this county on fertilizer alone not less than SIO,OOO in the last two years. Not only have the members of the Union been benefited, but the man on the outside has been benefited too, as the local fertilizer dealers had to put the prices down to him. The members of the Farmers' Union in this county have some thing to be proud of, for we lead any county in the State, having more money invested in Union enterprises than any other county in N. C. We have two Union roller mills, capital $22,000, one tobacco redrying plant, capital SIB,OOO, one Union bankr—capital $25,000 and one co-operative store, capital $lO,- 000, with branch offices, making a total of $75,000 invested in Union enterprises in this county, and if we all will only work together we will see greater things in the future.

Joyce Sells Livery Business To A. W. Davis, Who Leases Piedmont Springs Trans fer Line Other News'. SpeHnl 'i>rreni>oiiilenet' ltei»oru*r. Walnut Cove, January 28. Mr. A. W. Davis has purchased the entire livery business of Mr. R. P. Joyce. The transfer in cludes only the personal proper ty—horses, vehicles, etc., Mr. Joyce retaining the building and other real estate. The new owner has leased the Piedmont Springs livery line. Mr. John C. Bailey will pur chase an automobile as soon as the weather clears up to be used on his R. F. D. line, as well as for other purposes of both busi ness and pleasure. Possibly Mr. Bailey is wise with an eye to future parcels post require ments. Mr. Bailey is one of Walnut Cove's most popular carriers. Joe Whitten, Walnut Cove's star wag, says that daisy mid dlings, corn licker and mules are legal tender in Stokes, and that horses and wheat bran wont go. Mr. John M. Linville, one of Stokes county's best men, died at his home a few miles south east of here on the 22nd. Mr. Linville was aged 81. He is surviyed by seven children, as follows : W. S. Linville, of Indianapolis, Ind.; D. L. Lin ville, of Louisville, Ky.; P. H. Linville, of this place; W. G. Linville, of King; W. D., Robert and Julius Linville of the home neighborhood. The deceased was considered an excellent gentleman, honored for his integrity and his kindly dis position. He raised quite a large family, all of whom are good citizens. The citizens of Walnut Cove are discussing a bond issue for the improvement of the streets of the town. The stockholders and directors of The Banlt of Stokes County will hold their annual meeting here tomorrow. The Bank has just closed its most successful year. Owing to the great in crease of deposits and business the stockholders will probably vote to increase the stock at this meeting. Good roads is the chief topic here. The opinion is general that Sauratown will vote the bonds, though there is some opposition. An errone ous impression seems to have gained currency that the prin cipal portion of the funds derived from the sale of the bonds are to be spent for the benefit of this town. The bill, which is now before the legislature for passage, plainly states that the road funds shall be spent for the building of modern roads in all parts of the township, and does not allow any section to be discriminated against. All the Walnut Cove people with whom your correspondent has talked are in favor of giving every sec tion of the township the square deal. A wedding of social promi nence occurs here today when Miss Frances Jones, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Jones, will be united to Mr. Norman P. Stone, of Winston-Salem. Miss Jones is distinguished for her attractive personality, and her rare gifts of mind and heart. She is universally popular, and is one of Stokes county's most lovable characters. Every one who knows her feels like congrat ulating the successful young business man of Winston-Salem who has been so fortunate as to win her for his bride. Mr. J. Irving Bolt has return ed to his loved Carolina after sweltering for a few weeks in Florida. Now comfortably fixed by Mr. Dodaon'a fires, he is determined that never again shall the lure of the Everglades attract him away from Walnut Cove.
