DANBURY, N. C., SEPTEMBER 24. 1913.
BEATH OF W. W. KING
Passed At His Home In Dan
bury Early This Morning.
WELL KNOWN LAWYER
Funeral From Presbyterian
Church Friday At Eleven
O'clock.
Danbury and community was
shocked early this morning by
the sudden death of Mr. W. W.
King which occurred at seven
A. M. While Mr. King was
known to be in a serious condi
tion, having been confined to
his room and bed for several
months, it was not thought bv
even his dearest friends that the
end was so near. He had been
in failing health for a vear or
two with heart affection, and
other complications.
The deceased was well known
not only in Stokes county, but he
enjoyed a wide acquaintance in
many sections of the State, and
during his active life he held
many positions of public trust.
He represented the county in the
legislature for one or more terms,
and was judge of the old system
of county courts for several
years. He has been a leading
lawyer at the Danbury bar for
about 40 years, and practiced
considerably in adjoining coun
ties.
Mr. King is survived by his
wife, and four sons, as follows:
Messrs. R. R. King, of Danbury;
John W., Everett B. and Walter
W. King, of (ireensboro.
The interment will be made at
the M. E. church here tomorrow
(Friday) after funeral services
from the Presbyterian church at
11 o'clock A. M.
The Reporter joins the many
friends of the family in extend
ing to them deepest sympathy.
Mr. J. A. Simmons, of
Keystone, W. Va., who has re
cently been visiting his people
in northern Stokes, was in
Danbury Monday enroute home.
Mr. Simmons is a native of
Stokes but has been residing in
West Virginia for nearly
twenty years.
Mr. Thos. J. Covington, of
Walnut Cove, was here
yesterday representing the new
warehouse at Walnut Cove. Mr.
Covington reports that he finds
the prospect very encouraging
for a good season at his
warehouse.
PUT YOURSELF IN OUR PLACE.
To Mr. Farmer Reader of the Danbury Reporter:
You raise a crop of five thousand pounds of tobac
co, you take it to Winston-Salem and the ware
housemen pay you the cash for it.
But suppose you had to sell in one or five pound
lots to buyers all over the country. Could you af
ford to wait twelve months, or two or three years for
your money? Would not you need your money to
buy food for your teams to eat, tools, fertilizers and
other supplies.
Well, consider the newspaper man in this fix.
The Reporter has to settle with its printers and
employes every week, while paper, ink, gasoline and
postage are spot cash.
Do we mean offense to you when we ask you to
pay us cash for the paper that costs you less
than 2 cents a week? We certainly DO NOT. »Ve
have hundreds of as good and true friends as any
body ever had on earth, who will understand our
position, and know that it is not because we are afraidy
to trust them, but it is because we need the mono
to pay our bills. If it were only YOU, we could send
the paper to you for years and wait for our money-s
--hut think of the case when there are several thou
sand. You see what it means to us to adopt the
stop-when-the-time-is-out plan.
All friends of the paper are requested to settle up
and pay in advance by December i, and thus help us
inaugurate the new system and carry the business
on in a business way. Thus may our relations con
tinue pleasant, and pleasanter, and we shall be
able to give you the benefit of it in a greatly improv
ed paper.
Your friends,
PEPPER BROS.,
Pubs. Danbury Reportor.
DON'T CUT IT GREEN
Ice And Frost May Scare
Farmers Into Considerable
Loss.
MUCH TOBACCO OUT
Probably a Third Of Crop Re
mains to Be Saved*-Prices
Very Gratifying —To Market
At the Fair.
i.iglit frost and even ice occurred
in many section* of the county the
first of this week, which has hail the
effect of hurrying lots f farmers in
the Having of their crops of tobacco.
There 1« nearly always more danger
that tobacco may he cut too green
at this season of the year than that
frost will get it. The loss from
green tuliacco In years past has
been many times more considerable
than damage from frost. However,
no mall can tell what the weather
Is going to do, and the farmers are
left to rely on their own judgment.
I'sually from the middle to the last
of September there Is a snip offrost,
which Is harmless except In very low
places. Killing frosts are very rare
earlier than the sth to l.'itlt of Oc
tober.
l'robalily one-third, certainly tine
fourth of the tobacco crop In this
counjy. Is uncut. This will lu
lu rgely reduced by the last of the
week. By the last of next week the
crop will be practically saved.
Many farmers are liiilshlng this
week
Next week hundreds of Stokes
farmers will attend the Winston
Fair, and many will take advantage
of the trip to market a load of
tobacco. Prices are usually at the
best about fair time. The promise
is that tln* attractions at the fair
tills time are the best ever before.
When have you bad a cold you
want a remedy that will not
not only give relief, but effect a
prompt and permanent cure,
a remedy that is pleasant to
take, a remedy that contains
nothing injurious. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy
meets all these requirements.
It acts on nature's plan,
relieves the lungs, aids expect
toration, opens the secretions
and restores the system to a
healthy condition. This remedy
has a world wide sale and use.
and can always be depended
upon. Sold by all dealers.
