DANBURY REPORTER Volume LI. MAYO BAPTIST ASSOCIATION Crowd At North View Sunday Estimated At 7.000 T» I(>,- OOii—Two Thousand Am >nio bdes—Proceedings ()t Asso ciation At Which .'UI Preiteh e»s OtlHated—Plenlv T Eat F r Crowd—Next Assoria tion At Pleasant Grove I". ) toher. The biggest crowd that ever attended a Primitive Baptist association in Stokes county—or protubly in this State or Virginia was at North View last Sun day. being estimated at from 7,000 to 10,000 people. A con servative estimate would place the number of automobiles at J.(Kio. No serious accident oc curred, the crowd was quiet and orderly,and scarcely any drinking was observed. The people of the North View community than whom there is none more prosperous, and none more hospitable anywhere—had prepared for t'ne event on a huge scale. Fatted calves had been slaughtered, fatted pigs had been toasted, fried spring chicken was abundantly in evidence, and wagon loads of cakes, pies, pickles and pastries and all the good things to eat which the ladies of the North View section know so well how to prepare, were plentiful. Tables spread un der the leafy trees groaned with the weight of the edibles, and it I goes without saying that the multitude did ample justice to loaves and fishes. The glad hand of welcome en couraged the bashful stranger to come forward and be rilled with out money and without price. More than preachers were present from near and far, a list of whom follows: Elders «J. A. Fagg, Issac Jones, G. O. Key, 0. J. Denny, S. 11. lieid, J. F. Spangler, Joel E. Marshall, H.F. Hutchins, J.

The loan was made by the first i , , i national bank of New York City, j i The interest rate is the lowest the state has ever paid on hi# ! sums of money. Governor Morrison, Treasurer Ben Lacy and members of the council of state made the loan after bids had been opened sub mitting proposals for the pur chase of ten millions in highway bonds. The bond bids were all rejected as it was found a finan cial saving would result from the use of money on short term notes in view of the low rate at which it was offered. The governor and Mr. Lacy were particularly gratified over the loan, looking upon it as a demonstration of New York's high regard for the state's credit.' Money al 1.50 has been con-J sidered reasonable and four per cent money cheap. Yesterday the bankers offered fifteen millions at 4.10 and that was looked upon as a good bar- j gain. This morning they cut it j to three and seven eighth. Mr. and Mrs. R. R. King and j children expect to leave in a few ! . lays to spend some time at i Asbury. Mr. King will con-1 struct a bridge across Dan j river, near Joyce's mill, while the family is at Asbury.
