WALNUT COVE LETTER
I
Arrangements Being Made
For Chatauqua At
the Cove.
LATE IN SEPTEMBER
Operator of Blind Tiger Is Captur
ed - Selling Many lords
Various Other Items.
Walnut Cove, Aug. 17, 'ls.
Dixie Williams, colored, was
placed under arrest Saturday
night by sheriff W. C. Slate
charged with the importation of
more corn juice than the law
allows to the average man.
When arrested he had upon his
person about nine quarts of
intoxicants which he had just
purchased in Virginia. Upon his
failure to secure the required
bond he was committed to jail.
Many arrests of this nature have
been made here within the past
few months and it is having its
effect upon the walking blind
tigers which have infested this
place for many years. The
quart law is fulfilling its designs
and its mission has been stongly
felt by former dispensers. Less
drunkenness has been reported
on the streets here during the
past six months than ever before
and the decline is due directly to
the enforcement of the law,
Mr. Numa Vaughn and Miss
Pearl Sink who were quietly
married in Greensboro Thursday
arrived Friday to spend a fern
davs with the groom's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Vaughn, who
is well known here and holds a
resDonsible position in Greens
boro, while the bride is one of
that city's popular young ladies.
After a few day 3 stay they will
return to Greensboro where they
expect to make their home.
Bill Fulton, one of our typical
young Americans, who is a
familiar character to the general
public, had the misfortune to lose
one of his fingers Sunday after
noon while inspecting the
mechanism of a cutting knife in
his father's barn. The young
fellow is getting along nicely
and was able to exercise his
German cavalry horse on the
streets again today. No doubt
his finger will grow out again
with proper attention.
The supper given by the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Bap
tist Church at the New ware
house Saturday evening was a
splendid success in every par
ticular and a neat sum of about
thirty dollars was realized for
the furtherance of the society's
work. Many visitors from Win
ston-Salem, Danbury, Mt. View
other places were present.
Messrs. Jacob Fulton and Wat
soil Joyce spent Monday and Tues
day in the western part of the
county selling Ford automobiles.
A great many farmers are avail
ing themselves of the advantages
of this low priced car and a great
many will be sold during the fall
months. Fulton & Joyce will re
ceive their second car load Sep
tember 1 and orders are being
taken rapidly for these. The
following have bought Fords
since Aug. 1: Messrs. J.R. Tuttlo,
J. Wm. Morefieid, A. Smith, H.
H. Davis, J. C. Shields, and J.
H. Fulton.
Messrs. W. G. Dodson and son,
Eugen?, left today for New York
and Baltimore to buy fall goods
for the progressive firm of Dod
son & Co. While away they will
probably spend a few days at
Atlantic City.
Walnut Cove has been throng

I Have Been Granted License
In Stokes Bv the Secretary;
j of State.
The Secretary of State re
ports that up to this time eighty
jtwo automobiles have been
, granted licenses in Stokes for
| the present year.
, The license tax collected on
j these machines is $425.00. All
!of this money except twenty per
i cent comes back to this county
; and the law provides that it all
be used on the public roads.
It is probable that within the
next thirty days Stokes will
J have been granted license for
more than one hundred machines
and the number will no doubt
continue to grow. The taxes
derived from machines will soon
!be quite a little help in keeping
' up the public roads.
- 1 The Supreme Court meets for
'' the examination of applicants to
1 practice law on Monday, August
>
i' ed during the past few weeks
[ by visitors from nearly ever*
. section of the state. Among the
> number are people seeking
i the health-giving qualities of the
I excellent mineral water, others
I i attending to important business
. I matters tending toward the de
-1 velopment of business enter
, prises. The greater number
'however belong to the fair sex
, who are possibly attracted by
the presence of so many hand
jsome widowers, bachelors and
dashing young fellows who never
j tire of meandering in the direc
| tion of the mineral spring, keep
ing time to the croaking of the
| frogs and the familiar song of
the mosquito. Its a great town
I when the visitors are with us.
! Arrangements are being made
for a Chatauqua to be held at
some date in September or Octo
ber at this place. Noted lec
turers from different states will
be in attendance and the affair
promises to be an eventful one
for the town. The Chatau
qua will be in charge of the
"Booster Club" and will do
much toward advertising the
town and placing Walnut Cove
on the map.
While enroute home from Mt.
Airy with his family Monday Mr.
P. T. Harrington had the mis
fortune to break the axle of his
I car while traversing the moun

j and others.
j Mr. Samuel H. Stewart went
to Madison Sunday, presumably
on a pleasure trio.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Wesley More
field returned Monday from
Greensboro where they attended
the Primitive Baptist Associa-;
tion.
Mr. Joseph Lewis, of Winston- j
Salem, spent a day or two here,
this week looking over some pro- j
perty with a view to buying and j
locating here. It is hoped that i
Mr. Lewis will find a suitable 10-1
; cation and become one of our
citizens.
