NEW LEAF HOUSE
Will He Erected In Which To
Store Tobacco —Mr. and Mrs.
" Woodruff Entertain At
Watermelon Feast —
Personal Items.
Walnut Cove. Aug. 21. At
their beautiful home on Summit
avenue Sunday afternoon Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. Woodruff royal
ly entertained about a hundred of
their neighbors and friends at
an old time watermelon feast.
The occasion will be long remem
bered by those who partook of
those {treat, red, juicy melons
which adorned the long table
prepared in the magnificent grove
of oaks. Raising watermelons
is one of Mr. Woodruff's hobbies
and already this year he has
"pulled" from his "patch"
more than two thousand of the
luscious fruit, to say nothing of
the hundreds of cantaloupes
gathered.
Reports from the Eastern
Carolina tobacco markets are ex
ceedingly encouraging to the
farmers who raise the weed.
The sales are averaging around
ten cents despite the inferior
quality of the offerings and ware
housemen are optimistic over the
prospects for a good season at
this place. To verify their con
fidence ih regard to this market
a new leaf house, much larger
and better than the one already
here, will be erected on the lot
in the rear of Stephens' hard
ware store. The outlook for
fair prices for tobacco at this
date are unusually bright.
On Sept. 17, 18, 19 and 20 the
biggest event ever pulled off
in Walnut Cove will be staged
in the commodious new ware
house when the "Booster Club
Chautauqua," a series of amuse
ments consisting of various at
tractions attended by many of
the best lecturers, musicians,
and artists in the world, will be
with us for four big days. The
first day will be agricultural day
and some of the nation's experts
in this line will be present to
address the throngs. The second
day will be devoted to education
and many speakers of nation
wide repute will be here to de
liver addresses. The third day
which will be on Sunday will be
observed an Church Day, and
eminent ministers will be here
tj> hold the services. The fourth
day will be town-boosters' day
and Old Soldiers' reunion. Be
sides the speakers who will be
with the Chautauqua Club such
orators as Hon. T. W. Bickett,
Hon. Frank Linney, Hon. H. B.
Varner and others well known
throughout the State will be
present. It is going to be a big
affair and every man, woman
and child in Stokes and adjoin
ing counties are invited to come
to Walnut Cove with the expec
tation of having a good time.
Accommodations are being amply
arranged for a great crowd, and
the town will have on its Sunday
clothes and will be on the
lookout for its neighbors and
friends from everywhere. A
complete program of the Chau
tauqua will appear in a later
issue of the Reporter.

Opens Willi Prices
Higher Than Last Tear
S|wfial t■ > l»anl>ur,v lteimrter.
Winston-Salem, Aug. 25.—The
tobacco market has opened here
with very pleasing prospects. A
good many primings are coming
in. and the prices are higher
than the opening last year. One
gratifying feature is the strong
bidding of the Imperial. All the
big buyers are on the market.
Publicity is Life.
A business that is advertised
judiciously is always a live busi
ness. The most successful busi
ness concern in North Carolina
is the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, which concern spends
upwards of a half million dollars
a year in newspaper advertising.
