THANKSGIVING .IN ROXBORO.
The Beautiful New Methodist i Church
Opened for Divine ; Services-tTwo
Great Sermons. .
Th anksgiving was a great day in
Roxboro. The elegant hew brick
church erected by the Methodist
congregation was opened for wor
ship at 1 1 o'clock. Rev. J; C.-Kil-go,
D D., president of Trinity Col
lege, preached one of the greatest
sermons ever heard here. The
church was filled with; happy, cul
:ured men, women and children.
He was at his best and delivered a
message that gave . thoughtful peo
ple greater reverance for God and
stronger faith in men
The night v service was a unJon
meeting oft the Methodists, trie
Presbyterians and the. Missionary
Baptists. The sermon was preach
ed by Rev. H. M. : North, Head
master of Trinity Park School. His
was a powerful message, delivered
with unction. - . 4
This beautiful new church has
just been completed and it is a credit
to the church and to the town. Erec
ted at a cost of nearly $10,000 it is
well furnished and convenient as
well as attractive. -The Sunday
School room is connected with the
main auditoriam when so desired..
Altogether it is an edifice of which
both the Methodists ancTall the citi
zens of the town ; ! may . well - be
proud,

good business. During the month
of November there was sold in
Roxboro 81 4,293 oounds of to
bacco for a; totaLof $95,874,19,
and every pound of it was paid for
bv our two banks in cash. There
has been no scrip issued K by the
banks of Roxboro during this pe
riod of strtngency of money; '
i This is a most remarkable record
and it fias been the most astonish-"
ing thing that has happened in Rox
.boro for many years. While all our
neighboring markets have' been
forced to issue -scrip." for tobacco
and other commodities sold in their
towns, Roxboro has 'met every
emergency, and every big break of
tobacco with the cash. W,e say it is
a remarkable record, and one that
every citizen should be proud of.
It shows good business judgement
and forethought in the officials of
our banking institutions. They
should hereafter have no trouble
in holding the confidence and hearty
supi5orr of our people, both in the
town and the country: , 7 f

Mr; J. A. Long, President of r tbe
Peoples Bank for the : interest he
took in this. matter. All during the
most exciting period. ? "of the panic,
when everybody thought) to
rowrow would be the- lastvday
the banks of Roxboro would or
could pay cash, he left his other
business interests here, and gave
his entire' time to discussifig , the
iCondition of the banks with our
farmers, explaining to them the
advantage of depositing their mon
ey and leaving it - in the : banks in
stead ofv taking it ouythus withr
drawing it from circulation- The
confidence the p'eopleof Person
county have in him was shown by
the numbers5 of farm erslwhjr took
his advice and left their money in
Roxboro.
The foregoing are facts, having
been proven the past few weeks.
Roxboro has 'shown her ability to
do things, now it is, the duty oall
our people to stand together; stick
to our county town, ;take:a pride in
its- in terpris'es-her J6.accmarket9
her banksxher sToresm;fact every
industry thar is started here, help
push them to success. Whenever
an opportunity affords speak a good
word for the town and its- indus
tries. ';.
It is no new thing to us to krrow
that Roxboro is the best town in
Nofth Carolina"" in many respects,
we have known, it for many years;
but there are many of our people
who have seemed not to have found
it out before, but it does look like
this should convince, them that it is
true. The, number of pounds of to
bacco sold in Roxboro during the
pasi month and the larg amount
of cash paid out for it, with the big
average per- pound that was made,
should convince them that every
farmer in the county should stand
by the the Roxboro TQbacco Mar
ket. It looks to us like the record
made by our warehouses and our
b nks during the crisis should
awaken an admiration and pride in
every citizen in the county that no
amount of persuasion could over
come, or make them forget.
We hope the future will prove
this'to be true.
