Week.

John R. Smith and O. Stouten
burg In Mayor's Court—Work
Starts On Watkins Building—
Pinnix Bailey Appointed Rural
Mail Carrier—Other Items,
(f Walnut Cove, Nov. 3. —Work
on the new sidewalks has been
begun in earnest this week ami
it will only bv' a short while, pos
sibly a month, before the con
concrete wv.iks will e::tend on
either side of Main street from
the bridge to Fifth street. The
grading was commenced this week
by Contractor Martin .iust beyond
Dodson hotel and this part of the
undertaking is progresing rapidly.
Owing to weather conditions
making wheat sowing very urgent
upon the farmers, comparatively
«mall breaks of tobacco are boing
experienced by the warehouses
this week. Still every day finds
a few loads on the floors and
those who are selling here now
are receiving good prices for their
product. l T p to the present this
market has made a far better
showing in pounds sold than in
any other year since the market
was established. Stokes county
people should appreciate the fact
that the hardworking proprietors
of both houses here are doing all
in their power to establish a
home market in the county town
that will tend to better market
conditions and at the same time
paying as much for tobacco as
elsewhere. For many years the
farmers have been hauling their
tobacco many miles to other
counties, in some cases to other
states; each year these counties
have become richer, villages have
become cities, while Stokes has
remained as when tobacco was
floated down Dan river on a raft,
dependent upon the resources of
other counties. It would seem
that it is time to think to patron
ize homefolks and help to build a
market in Stokes county where
the price is just as pood and
where other direct benefits may
•be realized.
Under the direction and super
vision of Prof. E. S. Hendren,
assisted by his splendid corps of
'?achers, a "Moonlight School"
>
was organized Tuesday night for
the enlightenment of adult illiter
ates and others who care to ac
cept the instruction given. The
school will hold its session two
nights each week throughout
November and as long thereafter
as sufficient interest is manifested
by the students.
In the mayor's court Tuesday
night, John K. Smith was ar
raigned charged with having as
saulted G. Stoutcnburg, a watch
and clock tinker who has had of
fices in Mr. Smith's store for the
past year. The trouble arose, it
seems, from some dispute in re
gard to rents due by the tinker
nnl after a brief quarrel Mr.
Smith proceeded to choke the
tinker ur.d extract a few teeth.
Smith was fined three dollars and
the costs while no charges were
preferred against Mr. Stouten
berg.
Excavation has been made for
the new brick building of Mr. D.
S. Watkins' and the work will be
pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. The Hedgecock Brick
Co. have secured the contract for
the erection of the new structure.
Business here has undergone a
wonderful change during the
past thirty days, especially in the
stores of the different merchants,
all of whom are having a good
trade every day. They have pre
pare'l for a big fall trade and
have placed full stocks of new
goods in anticipation of a good
! patronage. It goes without say
ing that from now until after the
Christmas holidays the retail
stores will bo busy scenes.
Messrs. \V. (J. Dodson, J. A.
Fagg, J. 11. Fulton, John A. Bur

lar agent of the X. & W., has re
turned and resumed his work
' after a month's stay in Baltimore
, in theinterestof his health which
his many frierds will be glad to
learn is greatly improved.
Mr. B. Pinnix Bailey has re
ceived his appointment as rural
mail carrier on route number
three to fill the vacancy of Mr.
C. H. Marshall, who resigned
last summer. Since Mr. Marshall
resigned, the mail of this route
has been delivered by Mr. J. A.
Marshall. Mr. Bailey is experi
enced in the work, having been
for a number of years substitute
on route one and will no doubt
make a valuable addition to the
excellent corps of rural carriers
from this office.

;M. j. Smith of King Making
Money Grow ing Tobacco
and Other Things—To
bacco C rop Will Average
Over Twenty-Five Cents.
Mr. M. J. Smith of King paid
us a pleasant call Wednesday of
this week. Mr. Smith is a
Yadkii. township farmer who is
I making money growing tobacco,
jeorn, grain and grass. He has
! already sold two lots of tobacco,
averaging 25 cents, and says
that his whole crop will average
at least 25 cents, considering
present prices. Mr. Smith pro
duced this year seven barns of
; tobacco, 96 bushels of wheat, 34
■ bushels of oats, and will make
'45 or 50 barrels of corn. Accord
ing to County Demonstrator
Holt, Mr. Smith grew the second
| best field of corn in the county.
!In addition to the above pro
duction, Mr. Smith mowed a -
acre meadow twice. The only
help he had during the year was
his wife and a 9-year-old child,
and hired one hand two days.
Such farming as this pays.
As a consequence, Mr. Smith
will have supplies enough to do
his faniiiy and will bank a good
surplus in cash.
Who .-an beat it'.'
This "washing-down" habit is
bad, for it prevents the thorough
mastication of the food, which
is necessary for a proper diges

good becrinninc: by securing
several thousand votes. Mr.
Hall, who was unfortunate in
losing his crop by hail last sum

load Sign Mutilated.
Dr. Wade H. Bynum, of Cler
jmanton. was a visitor at the Re
-1 porter office Monday. He stated
that some unknown parties had
i mutilated the large road sign re
i cently placed by the Ciermanton
people at the junction of the
(lermanton and Walnut Cove
roads at Meadows. Dr. Bynum
says that the sign only stated
that the road lead to (lerman
ton and this being the case it is
not known the cause for its be
ing mutilated.
Few people drink sufficient
water. It is a good rule to take
two tumblers of water first thing
in the morning and then from
six to eight tumblers during the
day, two or three during the
evening: this would make from
ten to twelve during the day.
One or two the last thing before
retiring. No water should be
taken one-half hour before eat-
inK anil never during the meal.
It Is best to wait from one to two
hours after the meal before tak
ing water.
