Opening of the Season Full
Set of Buyers on the Opening
Date.
At a meeting of the Rortboro
Tobacco Board of trade last' week
it was decided to open the Rox
boro market on September 5th,
1916. This is a little earlier than
last season, but the crop this year
is more advanced than in the past
All the big tobacco companies
will be represented from the very
beginning and several independent
buyers will also begin buying oh
the opening date. .
Every effort for convenience to
the man who sells his tobacco- oh
this market is being made by the
warehousemen of Roxboro, and
they are going to see that you get
the very highest price for all you
sell here.
There is no reason why the
farmers of Person County should
not sell their erop in Roxboro. It
is a known fact that Roxboro is
the highest average market in the
Old Belt and this in itself should
be convincing.
The Banks here have certainly
been loyal to its customers standf
ing by them when they needed
help the most and there is no rea
son for opening bank accounts
other than in Roxboro. Let us all
do business
goosj)ex
you, know and -people whouv yori
can depend upon. Home first is a
mighty good motto. How often
have we heard the remark, "I nev
er have any trouble in Roxboro,
getting what I need." Appreciate
this sufficiently well to make up
your mind to do business at home.
Lend a helping hand towards build
ing up your own County and
town.
Remember that if you had a
loan at either bank in Roxboro
last year the bank crrried that
loan at a loss, ask yourself the
question, would any bank out of
the County have done as much for
its customers? Wouldn't it be wise
to make connection with the banks
here and rest assured that you can
depend upon them in times of J
stress.
Remember too that Roxboro has
four or five miles of good roads
each way to haul over, figure the
cost of freight and your expenses
to other markets and see if it
doesn't save you money to sell
your tobacco at home.

A HAPPY MfJl.
One of the happiest men we hayo4 -; ;
seen in many a day was our good TV
friend, Equire .S; P. Gentry, I and.br , '
it was all occassionedbythe action,,
of the board of County Gommis-v;,, .

thousand dollars' to 'complete th y -link
in the. Lee and Jackson niem.-
oriajhigh way which of .course is
based upon the idea of the Nationr J -v
al, Government appropriating ' a ,
lite amount.' Mr,. Gentry has.la-,; - i

It ras fortunate i indeed . that Mr.
Fallis the State; ' .Highway Engi
neer 'came into townv just at this
hour,, for he appeared before the
Board and told them of the funds
and the; working . of the . act ap-'
propriating certain sums from the
NationalGoyernment for building
good roads, k He was enthusiastic
ovef therpropbsitipn to complete
this' link through the County and
gaVe theV Board some ;valuaole

Gentry who spoke enthusiasfclcat-
ly oi uie vaiue oi iihs roau u iue
Gounty,;and pleaded, wiih the
f foam not to turn aown ine prp-
passed an order authorizing : tne
County to borrow ten thousand
dollars, to be duplicated by Uncle
Sam; for the completion of this
work. The Board was divided on
this question, Mr. Montague vot
ing for it, Mr. Hunter against it,
which necessitated the Chairman,
Mr. Reade, to break the tie, which
he did by casting his vote for the
motion.
We unhesitatingly say that no
act of the present Board has ever
meant so much for the County, as
it will enable us to get a through
highway from one end to the oth
er of the County at half price, the
Government paying one half. It
was fitting that there should be a
demonstration over this great vic
tory, and vhen Uncle Barnette
Reade cast hisi vote for the meas- j
ure those present gave a ringing
demonstration with cheers and
handclapping. It was a great days
work, and though pressure was
brought to bear to show that the
appropriation would be unpopular
with some Uncle Barnett's re
marks were those of a patriot. He
said: "Though this vote should de
feat me and cause me to retire
from office, I feel that it is right,
and I cast my vote for the meas
ure." Oh, for more men of such
principle It was a great
days work and this road
when completed will be a monu
ment to Messrs. Reade and Mon-tague.

improved our building we shall
also greatly improve our stock
and have it in keeping with the
surroundings.
We have been fortunate in
securing
Miss Myrtle Peed
to take charge of our Millinery
department. She is a native
North Carolinian, having been
reared in our neighbor County,
Granville, and comes recom
mended by high and reliable
authority as being one of the
best milliners that goes out from
Baltimore and also a splendid
lady.
She and Mr. Burns are now
in the Northern market making
purchases to complete our fall
stocks, and we feel confident
that all of our previous efforts
will be surpassed.
