Democracy Wins in The County
In Both State And National
Tickets.
In our reports last issue the
vote was given before the entire
County was heard from and fter
getting the tail vote and same
canvassed it was found that the
County had u-one .Democratic for
the Presidential ticket, for Gov
ernor Bickett, while Major Sted
man and his opponent, tied, with
the County breaking even, four of
the Democratic ticket and four of
the Republican ticket being elect
ed. So, you see, after all the
Democratic party did not fare so
bad. Below we give the majori
ties received by each candidate:
Presidential electors democra
ic 953, republicae 917, democra
tic majority 36;

OLIVE KILL DEMOCRATS $
DID EXCELLENT WORK.
While the Democrats of the
County did a good days work on
election day we believe that old
Olive Hill Township should have
the banner for effective work, for
;it that precinct aft. extra effort
was made owing to the fact that
some of the candidates formerly
lived there, but they held Demo
cracy in line and came up
with an increased majority. Of
course, Cuningham is not to be
forgotten, for she came up withn
almost a unanimous vote. What
a Democratic County this tvould
be if there were a few more Cun
ingham townships.

Card of Thanks.
We wish to extend our . heart
felt thanks and appreciation to
all who so kindly rendered their
services to us during the ' recent
illness and. death of our dear sis
ter, Eliza Pointer. We appre
ciate .their . many consoling
words of -sympathy, , and May
,Heax& Richest Blessings i rest
upon cch of ycur.' - :
As our store is now completed ex
cept a few finishing touches and the fur
niture and fixtures are all in place, we do
not think it amiss to have something to
say about it. ?
And Whe We Built It
Mnriv nennle wondered wht we
. j jf - r- - : j r-S, ?:
jwould tear down such a good store as we ,
had and calleoflt a waste of money. Since bJ
uicy liuvc &ccii vviiul mi impiuvciiiciu vvpwpi
reason, but there are many. We
nciay never realize as much return in dol
lars and cents as we put into it. But we
have a sense of pride in our business that
made us want to have not only the "Best
Store in Roxboro," but the best looking
one. Then we have a sense of pride in
our town and county that made us wan
to give them as good a store as any neigh
boring town or county had. tt
- Again we wanted to give our loyal
customers whose business has made it c
possible for lis to build such a store as com;
fortable and convenient place to trade as;l
they could finH. Also we wanted to make :
it comfortable and convenient to our
loyal sales fotce as well as ourselves. In
short we wanted to make it attractive to; ;
everybodyl Come and see how wevhave
succeeded.
s; In spite, of the fact that we have had
all this work - on our hands and have
moved bur stock twice we have made a ;
new hih record tins vear ana our traae
is far ahead of any other year. , ;

DURHAM CELEBRATES
A verj7 large crowd attended
the Democratic celebration which
was pulled off in Durham Mondry
night. Through the courtesy of
our good friend Mr Joe H. Car
ver we were glad to rejoice with
our neighbor Democrats. Mr, J.
(h Moore, Willie Carver and the
Editor enjoyed the. trip in Mr.
Carver's car.
Durham had put on her best
clothes, being decorated in a be
coming manner for the occasion
and it was a great sight to see the
many laughable performances.
Hon. R. O. Everett, and Postmas
ter Otho Lunsford headed the
procession riding Durham county
mules, the riders sporting high
silk hats, following them we
should say were several thousand
on foot carrying torchlights, in
terspersed with brass hands, in the
r?ar came hundreds and hundreds
of automobiles gaily decorated;
The float which attracted the most
attention was one in the shape of
a boat in which was several young
tari'tpc ttrifVi rir! in 1 thp.ir handsJ
thereof the boat being labeled ufg oods to fill in' the gaps that hiavebeen
"We Wood-Row". It was a glad
evening and thoroughly-enjoyed I
by all no, not alf, but by every
Democrat.
