TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance 50c Six Months, in Advance 25c WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11. 1911 Up to this hour the population of Mocksville and Cornatzer has not been made public. Only a little more than a month until the ground hog is due. Cheer up. the worst is yet to come. The last of the hash, the pumpkin pie and the locust beer have disap peared, and the world wags on just the same. Patronize the merchants who ask for your trade through The Record. You will save money by dealing with the people who use printer's ink. For fear the Greensboro News gets ahead of us this year, we would ad vise our readers to do their Christ mas shopping early. Now, by jings. Owing to the continued illness of Mr. W. A. Bailey. Davie county wiil not be represented in the present legislative session, which convened last Wednesday. The many friends of Mr. Bailev throughout the county and State wish for him a rapid re covery. The Record stili goes to all those who care to read it, for 50 cents a year. It is worth a dollar, but we are dividing profits with our sub scribers. The Record and Progress ive Farmer both one year for 75c, which is less than either of the coun ty papers alone. We give more lo tal and county news than the higher priced sheets. For the past two weeks we have been mailing "iove letters" to our subscribers, and up to this hour we are still engaged in that laudible un dertaking. We have received sev eral replies, with the filthy lucre en closed, for which we extend sincere thanks. Only a couple of the boys have got wrathy and had their paper stopped. If any of those who owe us have failed to receive a letter, we here and now apologize, and ask 'em not to wait for a bill, but to send in their contribution and save us a pos tage stamp. May we hear from you all, is our earnest desire. Postmaster is Assulied. Winston Journal, 4th. Advance, Jan. 3. W. T. Myers, postmaster at Bixby. next station above t his place, wasasulted by John Enoch Brock and his two sons yester day. Mr. Myers' coat was cut into shreds by one of the- parties. How ever, he received only a cut on one of his fingers, as the knife did not go to the skin. Mr. Myers' version of the affaires tnat Brock came into the postoffice and then he invited him to have a seat, and made apologies that he had no fire, as he was doing some carpen ter work in an adjoining room. Then Brock remarked with an oath that it was a poor business that could not afford fire. Mr. Myers says that he toll him not to swear, that he was in the postoffice and that it was a gainst the rules, whereupon Brock went outside and got his two sons. Returning, one of the boys collared Mr. Myers and the other did the cut ting. Mr. Myers said that if it had not been for the intervention of Thomas Roberson with a shot gun drawn on the parties, that they evidently would have treated him very roughly. After the difficulty two of the par ties boarded the vestibule for Win ston. Mr. Myers came to Advance, swore out a warrent before 'Squire H. T. Smithdeal and telegraphed to the chief of police at Winston to arrest the parties on arrival there. He will also go before United States Com missioner Chaffin at Mocksville and swear out a warrent, as they have violated the federal laws also. It is supposed that the two sons are on their way to Iowa, and may slip by Winston Salem without arrest. From information obtained at po lice headquarters here, it seems that two young men answering the des cription given by Mr. Myers got off the train at Hanes Monday, but the police have been unable to find fur ther trace of them. John Brock was tried before H. T. Smithdeal, at Advance Friday and fined $5 and costs. His sons have net been captured. -J Reedy Creek News. Mrs. J. F. Ward of Lexington, visited at j I Mr. W. A.
