' Editor Reporter :
You will find enclosed one
dollar for one year's eubscription
to the Dan bury Reporter com
mencing at the expiration of my
I present subscription November
26, 1913» to November 26, 1914.
Being born and .raised among
i the hills of Stokes county, N. C.,
I admire the sterling qualities
of the Reporter and all causes
for the uplift of the county that
it so highly espouses and I don't
want to miss a single issue as
there is not an issue of the Re
j porter in which I do not see the
names of some of my personal
j friends mentioned and it seems
ljust like getting a letter from
j home when I receive my paper.
I am a subscriber to the Blue
field Daily Telegraph and the
Roanoke Times and bu/ the
Cincinnati Enterprise almost
every day but they are secondary
matters when I receive the Re
porter until I read it first. I
am very glad to see my friends,
the publishers of the Reporter,
adopting the business policy of
making the Reporter a strictly
cash periodical as any one that
wants the paper don't mind pay
ing for it one year in advance
when if they will look at the
proposition from a business point
of view the cash plan is
the only direct route to success
for any newspaper. So when
you receive my dollar please
enroll me on your books as paid
up to November 26, 1914.
Yours respectfully,
JNO. W. THORE.

Warehouse Men and Buyers
Think theCoid Weather Will
Continue to Keep Prices Up.
Reports from the tobacco
markets at Walnut Cove and
Winston-Salem are to the effect
that the price of the weed reached
the highest point yet known this
week.
On Tuesday at Winston-Salem
350,000 pounds of tobacco market
ed brought an average of 17 1-4
cents.
Tfit; cold weather is drying out
the tobacco and thus helping
prices on it, and it is the opinion
of the warehousemen and buyers
that prices will even go higher
yet or at least hold their own as
long as the present favorable
weather continues.
