THE DANBURY REPORTER
Volume 66
This issue of the Reporter is dedicated to the;
promotion of better homes for our good county!
of Stokes, more comfortable homes, more sani-|
tary homes, homes furnished and equipped for
the pleasure and the happiness of those who,
spend their lives in them.
In another section of this paper Mrs. Dorothy
Clay Nance, an accomplished and sincere wo
man of Winston-Salem, writes for the Reporter
an editorial entitled: "Home— Where We Live,
and Where We Hope to Die."
No more inspiring- theme for an editorial can
be imagined than this, and Mrs Nance has done
justice to her subject.
The Reporter longs, to see the people of
Stokes county ,build, repair, remodel, repaint re
furnish, re-equip their homes.
Is there any purpose in the world to which
we should be more sincerely dedicated than this?
What better investment can we make with
cur money than to provide a beautiful, comfort
able and convenient home for ourselves, and for
those we love and cherish—ail of whom live in
this home, and hope to die there?

The War Department on July'
15th notified Major Genera' Most-'

number of trainees allowed to
attend the C• M. T. C. at Fort
Bragg, N. C., between August 3,
and September Ist, has been in
creased from 575 to 700- This
means that 125 more young men
are to have the advantages of
this camp.
Brigadier Genertl Manus Mc-
Closkey, Commanding General
Fort Bragg is most anxious to
see that the young men of North
Carolina and South Carolina,
avail themselves of the opportun- 1
ity to secure Uncle Sam's prize
one month vacation at the Citi-j
sen's Military Camp, which is to
be held at Fort Bragg, N. C-, the
largest Artillery Post in the j
United States, from August 3rd

quickly, according to information
received from General Manus Mc-
Closkey, the Commanding Gener

Camp life featured by Military
drill under experienced regular
army instructors is the main at

the afternoons are devoted to «th-|

at every precinct in Stokes coun
ty.
In the meantime the question
hourly arises*—how w|ll Stokes
vote in the flection of August 17.
Anybody's guess is as good as
anybody's else.
The man on the street will tell
you that it will be a victory for
the prohibitionists hands-down,
that the wet element won't come
out and vote, while every dry
will be at the polls with his
ticket in hia hand at sunrise.
Then you will meet another
fellow wh 0 advises that the peo
ple are afraid of taxes, and that
hundreds of them be'leve that
the only source of increased
taxes to pay old age pensions,
etc., is from an embargo on
drinks.
If the "control" crowd has any
organization, the Reporter has
not of it.
The voters were never so silent
as now.
No man can tell what the fig
ures will say at sundown on the
third Tuesday in August.
