PUBLISHED THURSDAYS The Danbury lieporter N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher Issued Wednesdays at Danbury, N. C., and entered at the Danbury postoffice as second class matter, under act of Congress. Danbury. N. C. January 9, 1941. A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM BROWN MOUNTAIN One of the pleasaniest incidents of the late Christmas holidays at the Reporter office was the receipt of the following letter: Moore's Spring's, N. C. Dec. 24th, 1940. Mr. N. E. Pepper, ». ■ Danbury, N. C. '• Dear Sir: M 4 lam enclosing check for $ — to be credited on my subscription. I don't know just how much it is but this will be a little Christmas gift for you. I have always differed from you politically but I like your fight for more help for England. I feel like they are fighting our battles as well as ■•.heir own. So wishing you a happy Christmas, I beg to remain, The intrinsic or financial value of Mr. Talley's letter was welcome, as are all letters to a news paper office enclosing- a check. But what we appreciated infinitely more was the spirit that inspired this little Xmas remem brance, this memento of friendship, of good will, of fine good sense and broad tolerance from a man whom we scarcely know. We remember you, though, Mr. Talley, when you came to our county. You were not half a man. (We are speaking physically). You were emaciated and cadaverous. You were almost beyond the help of medical science at its best. You chose well. You came to the mountains of old Stokes whose waters and air make truly the weak grow strong, and the strong grow brave hearted and true. It worked on you. You fire welcome. But if you were weak physically, you were 100 per cent, strong morally and intellectually with those qualities which after all mean the most — the things that money cannot buy. Your reference to political differences is inter esting and apropos in that it affords us oppor tunity to say that the things upon which we dis agree are so infinitessimal as compared with the things on which we do agree, as to be of minor consequence. We mean faith in our loved coun try, our reverence for our religious and political liberty, our devotion to the ideals for which wi are ready to dedicate our all. I believe, Mr. Talley, that I have many, many Republican friends. Down deep in their hearts they don't care whether I approve their ideas, their plans, their theories, and down deep in our hearts we don't care what they believe. We know that we all stand four square on those fundamentals which have made and will pre serve this country in its highest conceptions of patriotism, the right of us all to live our life in the way that we believe in. I honor and respect these friends. We are both of the same race, the same faith, the same hopes and aspirations. Ways and means to reach those aspirations are only incidents by the wayside. In conclusion we thank you for your spontar eous expression of the good will and the peace md happiness and hope of the seaL-m iu t/.is, t.erious time when all that we all hold d ;.ir | J2 threatened more seriously than at an> i.tne since the government was established.

Stories Qf Stokes Gounty >J~(unters When Jerry Baker was a young man of about 40 years, there Wt3 a red fox that for months an>i months had devasted the hen coops of all the Flatahoal section. This fox had been chased and chased by all the dogs in that sec tion of the county, but had never been caught for some mysterious reason. It seems that when his trail was struck and the fox was being pushed close by the hounds, he would invariably make for a cer tain hollow at the foot of the mountain, and immediately after the race had entered the mouth of the hollow, the dogs would stop, tuck their tails between their legs and light out back home as if they had been whipped or scared. The hunters of the Flatshoal neighborhood were puzzled. They i could not understand what hap- pened to cause the dogs to sud denly qtiit the hot chase when they had reached the hollow. Jerry owned at that time two of the finest fox dogs that ever made tftp woods ring with deep, musical tones, and Jerry prized them very highly. When his dogs, named old Lead and old Drum, would slink back with the other dogs and go home with their tails tucked between their legs, Jerry decided to do some thing about it. He says: "I'm gonna see what in the heirs a matter with them dogs." So in ? few days the hencoops ;of the Fratshoal neighborhood | were again raided by the red fox, jwho carried off several of their [fattest hens and one old rooster. Right straight the race began again. All of the neighbors put in their dogs, and old Lead and old Drum were again leading the race. "Wait a minute," Jerry told the hunters. "Now that fox will make a large circle around the mountain, and when the hounds git in close to him, he will head straight for the hollow, and then you kno'7 vhrt will happen. Our dogs wi'l cjme out with their tails between their dam legs and make for h" *:c Y.u fallows fol low the do ;>ing to the hollow and i* * ~iyse!f to see what's the mutter."* The boys sai.t ''O.K." and they ail Ut out in the ehaae w!

He waited an hour and a half, listening to the hounds who were inow running the red fox close. Soon. Jerry says, he saw the old red bush-tail enter the hollow | with the dogs in full cry and pushing him hard. Jerry says ( old Lead and old Drum were in front of the pack. Jerry says then he so w tbe old red suddenly stop and enter the base of a big dead chestnut at a slick hole. | He barely bad time to get in side before' old Lead and old Drum were at his heels. I Now, Jerry says, when the dogs started to follow the Ccxx in the den, they suddenly stopped, tuck ed their tails and fled from the / hollow with all the pack follow ing them. Jerry was amazed. But de termined to find out the mystery of this thing, he grasped his gun to be ready for a bear or wild cat and started towards the fox den. But he had advanced but a few yards when the fox darted out and went past him at the speed of the wind. Jerry stood a moment, just as the wind veered east from the west. • He waited no longer, bat slow ly trudged back to the pFace where the hunters were awaiting. ;All the dogs had come in, and i were lying around, some of them i asleep. j "Jerry, did you find out any thing," asked Mose Carroll. "Yes," replied Jerry. ! "What was it," Mo3e inquired, j "A dam pole: cat's ire that tree." PATOVI Theater MADISON, N.
