"M.il, There is no better place in the Piedmont tm. s . ; ""v Juacaj your tobacco than in Roxboro. Buyers I representing all tobacco concerns are on our market! and eager to buy your tobacco. Also there is no bet-1 ter place in Roxboro to sell your tobacco than at the Planters Warehouse The largest and best lighted house in town and we are always anxious to get our frienas the highest 5 possible price for their tobacco. rocenes Prospect Hill News. It has been quite a while since I have seen anything in your val uable paper from our little city so here comes a few items your way that I hope you will give space if you think worthy of print if not cast in the waste basket and all will be well. First, I must say our city is on quite a boom, the wedding bells have been ringing now, the melo dy of the capenters saw and ham mers keeps the woods in a regular echo. Mr. J. M. Williams is hav ing quite a handsome feed barn and stalls erected at Brospect Hill where is to be his future home and it will only be a question of time before he will have a beauti ful mansion going up that will be well equipped with town advan tages such as lights and water works. Mr. R. L. Wrenn is also very busy cutting logs and hauling to have him a dwelling house on his new farm and Mr. F. R. Wrarren has already had a very nice little house put up for our famous black smith, Mr. B. F. Petti- grew. There has also been other improvements made too tedious to mention so all we can say if the people keep on hustling and im proving in such a manner we have the promise of cmite a little town in the near future so hurrah for Prospect Hill, There was a sale of the house hold and kitchin property of Mv.i. M. A. Warren, Saturday Nov. 28th. Quite a large crowd out and every thing sold high. Mr. C. B. Smith will sell out tomorrow, Nov. 30th and leave for his new'home near Danville, Va. While we are to lose this family as neighbors, we are to gain Mr. Dave Smith's family in return. I think there are to be right many changes made but while some are moving out others are moving in. Well the war is still raging but our most popular tobacco man, Mr. D. D. Satterfield is at home xvith the good nws of tobacco selling high on his prosperous market in the town of Roxboro. Mr. J. A. Warren one of the leading proprietors of the Banner Warehouse of Durham, was also out at his old home with the glad tidings of the weed selling high. I can only hope the.f will continue to have good sales with favorable prices. , . Now just a few words in regard -to oiir" public 'roads,. ' Wonder is all getting in a bad shape for the want of it, worst of all they have 100.00 extra to have this work done, for after giving the land a much better road bed from 18 to 2o feet ' wide, a much straighter and nearer way, board-' ed six men, three horses and fur-- nished the wood to fire the engine. ; Save yOU Ony on Mr. R. L. Warren and his sister II10St anything in the gave 100.00 extra to help build Grocery line. We have the road nearer their home about' , , r 1-4 of a mile or less.

So think if there is not something done soon they will wonder what has become of the robbers, for there is one place between Mr. R. L. War ren's and Prospect Hill that just simply never gets dry, and when a big rain comes it looks almost like some river for there is no way for the water to drain off and it can't be healthy. Now it is not long until the Holidays, hoping Santa Clauswill come to see you all and wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year, I remain your little friend, Pansy. ask you to get our price before you buy. It will mean money saved to you.
