SERIOUSLY SHOT
Kobt. Dunn of Hurdles Mill Ser
iously Shot Tuesday night by
Engrim Wilson.
Last night Robt. Dunn of Hur
dles MiH was seriously shot by
Engrim Wilson, of Hurdles Mill.
The ball taking effect in . Dunn's
arm and lung, which is thought to
be serious, if not fatal. Dunn was
taken to the hospital in .Durham
last night. ,
Wilson was brought to Roxboro
last night by Deputy Sheriff Mor
ris and is now in jail. Few parti
culars can be gotten as io the real
cause of the shooting. It seems
that Wilson has obstructed the
road near his house with some
trash, etc. and that Dunn, who
has an automobile was removing
the trash, when he was ordered by
Wilson not to do so, Dunn refus
ing to stop and then Wilson shot.
Both men are respected in their
community and both have fatm7
lies. Wilson will, be held in jail
until the preliminary trial, which
date is not yet known.

CO
Pursuant to the call of Col. - ffi'l
L. Lewist Chairman of the Tob
co Board of Trade, a large and en
thusiastic meeting was held in the.
Commercial Club Rooms onr last
Friday night This was the larg
est gathering we have ever ) seen
here composed of the business and
professional men. u f 1 ;"
The meeting was called to order
by Col. W. L.. Lewis, Chairman
of the Tobacco Board; of . Ttade?
and after stating the object of the
meeting he called Mr. R. A. Burth l
to the chair. T. C. B radsheir ) and
J. W. Noell were requested to act
as Secretaries. The Chairman up
on taking the chair stated in few
well chosen words what he thought
the meeting should mean to Eox-
boro and Person County, andclos
ed by calinjg upon every one pteV
ent to speak out and tell whatfie;
thought the town needed to start
it on a more lively gait. ;;
The following were called upon
and responded: L. M. Carlton, W;
T. Swanson, W. D. Merrittr Col.
W. L. Lewis, J. A. Long, J. W
Noell, Col. R. L Featherstone, Dn

.The remarks by each oi the!
speakers were timely and brought
to light some things which will
evidently mean much to the future
of the town. It was hown that
this town, easily ranking among
the best in this section, was try
ing to go along and , do business
and let the outside world know
nothing about what was taking
place in its borders. This was
shown to. be a suicidal policy,
even if it was modest, and the
sense of the meeting was that we
should let our light shine, and
then help it to shine a little more.
It is an acknowledged fact that
Roxboro is the highest market in
the State for tobacco. This is prov
en by the figures furnished by tbe
tobacco journals, which show that
this market averaged more in both
1913 and 1914 than any other
market around us. Yet, with these
facts known by many of our good
farmers they will insist on run
ning off to nearby markets with
some of their tobacco. Now, it is
all right to travel, but what is the
use of throwing away money when
you do so. Sell your tobacco in
Roxboro and get the HIGHEST
price, then take a part of that
money and go off for a real vaca
tion and good time. This was the
high note of the meeting.
We wish every farmer in the
County could have heard all that
was said at this meeting, for it
would have shown to them that
there is not, and never has been, the
slightest excuse for : any one to
feel that the citizens of Roxboro
were not interested in their wel
fare. Not only do they crave your
business, but they more - strongly
crave your good will. Roxboro is
the capital of Person county, it is
your town, and you are invited to
feel this way about . it. Come to
town, come often, get better ac-
ouainted. and then you will find
3 out just how clever the people of

This was really and truly a great
meeting, there being something
like one hundred , business men
present, and each and every one
present expressed a-desire to see
something done which would
bring about a stronger tie with
the farmers and the citizens of the
town. It was deplored . that good
I citizens of the County would Ia
bor to help build up other towns
at the'expense 1 of Roxboro and
Person CiJunty, simply for the sake
of a few paltry dollars, and most
of this paid for by their neighbors
who received nothing in the way
of profit for their help in the mat

of some kind will be "effectedand
committees appointed for theyari
ous things looking to the better
ment of conditions both for the
farmer and the town. These things
auger well for all and we sincere
ly hope now that such a good start
has been made that it will not be
allowed to die'aborning.
