The progress ia agriculture that . the people of North Carolina have made in the last few years is a lit subject for pride as well as re joicing with every Tar Heel. The increase in the total of agruniltural products is by no means the chief progress that has been made, but it is the tnauner in which it has been brought ' about not in the cultivation of more acres, but in the improvement of the fond and in other judicious and intelligent manner of farming, the kind which makes two ears of corn grow to the stalk where before therfc was only one; where each cotton stalk pro duces many more bolls than was done before; where a few well kept milch cows supply home and the market with more and better milk and butter than formerly did a herd of scrubs; where cotton or tobacco is not the only crop, but many kinds of food products are produced. This is the new style of farming which is becoming the order of the day in this State, and it is rapidly increasing the pros perity of the farmers and thereby addiug wealth to the Common wealth. Never again will intel ligent farmers in this State be con tent with a third or a half bale of cotton r ten bushels of corn to the acre. Already North Car olina produces more cotton to the acre than any other State except Missouri, and with the advance t beirij; made in intensive farming it '11 soon be at the top of the list. 5 1 hat is still better than the in creased yield per acre is that while this is being done the land is steadily enhancing in value. These are the true conditions in this State and they point to still greater prosperity among the peo ple ' Pinnacle Personals. Pinnacle, Sept. 13. Sheriff C. M.

To Danbury and Stokes County Sunday School Convention Says Nice Things About Danbury People. . ' ', ' . Guilford College, Sept. 20. Editors Reporter : ' ; When a visitor has beeu well entertained, well treated, he is somewhat derielect if on his return home he does nut write back to his friends, his host, somo words of grateful remembrance. Having had the kindliest hospitality and most generous consideration shown me by the Stokes County Sunday School Association while in at tendance on its county convention in Danbury, August 2Mb, I gladly hereby thankfully acknowledge the same without mental reserve. I have been in the homes of many people in all parts of North Car olina from the mountains to the sea, from Manteo to Murphy, with the rich and the poor and all grades between and recall no lack j e of kindly hospitality but none lias been more cordial and unstinted than that of Danbury. Five years ago I spent a day or two in that town by the Dan. bridgless then, now a good bridge of iron l.0 yards long. Then a shabby jail with prisoners whom I visited, now a tine modern jail empty. Then an inferior court house with an excellent Superior Court Clerk preparing to marry, now a com modious, convenient, well equip ped court house, model and mod ern in appointments, and an ex cellent Clerk better than before well married, with I think the best set of books I have seen in any of many court houses I have been in. I did not see a blot, erasure or interlineation, and such fine legible penmanship. And bet ter than that, he is a good Sunday School teacher. So far as I saw, the Sheriff is as good an officer and the active spirit of County . Sunday School Associa tion. 'And so far as I know, the same is true of the Register of Deeds. And I am glad to. know that one lawyer, successful, too, is a good S. S. Superintendent and teacher. I wish I could say as large a proportion of the county officers of the other counties in North Carolina were as well in terested in Sunday School work. Such a state of affairs speak well for the people of Stokes oounty. I was glad to be in the home of my old friend and whilom student, Ham Joyce, as he is familiarly called, in town, and to visit, his venerable and honored father, A. H. Joyce. It was a privilege to be in Sunday School class of Mr. Marion Chilton, a graduate of the college here, and at 11 o'clock to hear one of the best, finest and most practical sermons of my life by Kev, Mr. Robertson of the Presbyterian church from the text, Pbillippians 4-S. I have said I think it would be well if his de nomination would send him out to preach that sarmon everywhere as far as he can the balance of his Tf he could do that and people would believe it, there would be no more war. I have written more than 1 ex pected, still I have not come to Sunday School work, which if the Editors will allow, I will write of at another time. F. S. BLAIR. Coal Miners Wanted.
