To whom it may concern:
It is needless to say that we need the
money, we need it badly, we need it right
now. Our entire stock was lost in the fire
with only partial insurance
We expect to pay every dollar that we
owe and at a greater sacrifice to us, than it
would be to anyone who owe us to pay
their account. ,
It will be very mush appreciated if you
will come forward and pay, or else, Jf pos
sible, pay on presentation of account. You
will find us at the office of Sa&erfield Insur

TO THE CITIZENS OF ROXBORO.
I wish to -thank the public who
receive mail from the post office
here for the very courteous man
ner in which they have, one and

been very poor and inadequate,
but the citizens have shown a spirit
which was highly creditable. I
shall try to give you the best ser-
vice possible under the circum

impossible to serve you as you de
serve and as I should like to. How-
ever, 1 am hopiLg that arrange
ments will soon be made whereby
you will receive better attention.
