DANBURY REPORTED"
VOLUME XL.
NO BONDS YEI SOLD
Maybe the Would-be-Pur
chasers are Waiting For
Six Per Cent.
NO BIDS RECEIVED
Outlook Not Bright For Early
Road Building in Stokes —
The Money Market Is
Easy, Though Rates
are Stiff, and the
Bond Market
Crowded.
No bids have been received for
any of the Stokes county road
bonds. The bonds have arrived
from the engraving company,
and a number of them were
properly executed with signa
tures and county seal by the
county commissioners here Mon
day, but there were no takers.
The outlook for any early build
ing of roads in Stokes county
is therefore rather indefinite.
The probable reason for the
slowness of the would-be-pur
chasers of the bonds is that
the bonds' only bear aj
rate of five per cent, interest. |
While the money market is i
easy, the rates are stiff, and j
money at live per cent, is hard;
to get- It may be that before!
the Stokes bonds are sold the i
Commissioners will have to offer j
six per cent. On account of the !
fact that hundreds and thousands |
of issues of municipal and other!
bonds are crowding the market, j
investments at five per cent, are
not attractive to buyers
A number of ths township
road commissioners were here
Monday. All of them alike re
ported no bids for their bonds.

MAGNIFICENT CROP
Stokes Will Break the Rec
ord On Both Quality
and Quantity of To
bacco This
Year.
PRICES ARE HIGH
These Tilings Mean that Stokes
Farmers Will Reap Pros
perity For 1913—Busy
Times Now On the
Farms.
Mr. Peter Gorrell, of Farmers'
Warehouse, Winston-Salem, who
has been visiting many farmers
in Stokes recently, making his
base at Piedmont Springs, gives
it as his opinion that the 1913
crop of tobacco ih this county is
the finest and largest in the
history of the county. Elder
Jesse A. Ashburn, of Winston-
Salem, who has recently been
traveling considerably, is of
practically the same opinion.
From all sections of the county,
with the exceptions of one or
two nail-damaged neighborhoods,
reports bear out the conclusion
that the 1913 crop of tobacco
in Stokes is not only of increased
acreage, but of excellent quan
tity.
Farmers are now very busy,
cutting and curing. Possibly!
one-third to one-half the crop
has been cut. Cures are general- 1
ly good, especially those of
primings.
From every tobacco market
comes the good news that prices
are higher even than last year.
There is no doubt that bright
tobacco will bring fancy figures,
while the darker grades will sell
high.
Stokes farmers ought to reap
an abundant share of prosperity
this fall. If following last year's
good prices for tobacco, a
splendid crop of wheat this
year, and with the com crop
good, the farmers do not get
in fine shape, whose fault will
it be?
These are busy times now
on the farms cutting and cur
ing tobacco, and saving fodder
and hay.
