FORMER STOKES MAN RETURNS
Brings Bride With Him From
the Far West—Farm Work
In the King Section.
King Route 2, Sept. 27.—The
farmers of this section are finish
ing cutting and curing tobacco.
The crop is not as bright as was
expected. Some of our farmers
are plowing and preparing land
for a wheat crop. Fertilizer is
so high that the people should be
very careful in preparing wheat
land and get it well pulverized.
It will cost between six and
seven dollars per acre to get a
wheat crop sown and if you don't
average as much as 10 bushels
per acre it is a loss of time and
money, but this is one of the
sure ways to make bread.
On March 1, 190S, Mr. Thos.
Smith, son of Mr. T. B. Smith,
of King Route 2, left home and
went to Portland, Oregon, where
he spent five years of his life
after which he went to Califor
nia, where he spent two years,
and on the fith of August he
was married to Miss Minnie
Drafig, of Oregon. On Monday,
Sept. 20th thev started on their
journey to the groom's parents
and arrived at King Sept. 19th
at 11 o'clock where the groom's
father had a conveyance ready
to meet them and on his arrival
Farmers Warehouse The Gorrells I I Gorreil's Warehouse
"ALL THE TIME"
Headquarters For Stokes Tobacco Farmers Who Want The Highest
Prices and Best Accommodations.
TO OUR MANY FRIENDS IN STOKES :
Our market will be in full swing within a few days now and we are expecting you to come to see us. We are
expecting you simply for the reasons that we believe that you know that we have two of the best lighted warehouses
in the state, two exceptional good auctioneers, accommodations for you and your stock unsurpassed by any ware
house, an efficient force to handle your tobacco, and finally because
The Gorrell boys will get you MORE MONEY for your tobacco than any other warehouse
anywhere can get for you.
We have been in the warehouse business all our life--long enough to have learned what tobacco is and the
highest price each buyer will pay for each grade. It is our business to make every pile bring the high figure, and
this we do. Do you know that the highest price paid for a pile of tobacco on the Winston market last year
was paid in Farmers Warehouse and that a Stokes man was the grower? Do you know that we got $496.88 for
the tobacco that was grown on one acre in 1913, this being by far the highest price ever paid on our market for the
yield from one acre? Do you know that the highest average ever made by a Winston warehouse on a day's sale
was made bv Gorrells, the average being $23.06 ? We mention these facts merelv to prove to you that the GOR
RELLS SELL IT HIGHER.
Now as for the coming year. We know it is going to take harder work than ever to sell this crop. The to
bacco trade is not in as good condition as we had hoped it to be. Therefore, it is imperative on your part to sell
with men who have been selling Stokes tobacco for years. Our experience is worth something to you. We have
been selling Stokes tobacco so long that we know it as few others do.
We trust you will bring us your first load, and we feel sure we wijl get you prices that cannot be touched by
any other house. We will have a first sale every day after Oct. Ist--and you won't have to wait until late in the
day to sell. Come to see us. We will expect you.
Your friends,
THE GORRELL BOYS.

home he found lots of his relatives
and friends to congratulate them.
After the bride was introduced
to the relatives and friends they
were ushered into the dining
room where they enjoyed a nice
supper which was prepared for
the occasion. The writer was
one of the guests and enjoys a
day like this better than any day
of life.
One of our sports was out
driving last Sunday with hist
best girl and he returned late
Sunday night, so on Monday
morning one of his sister, on
examination of his buggy, found
the lady's hat. Of course this
caused some excitement and he
claimed that he only did this
through a mistake, but he guess
ed he would keep it as he aimed
to move the balance of the
property in the near future.
