NOTHING FINER

jr. W. PASS & SON'S FURNITURE
STORE.
Rcxboro Is Noted for It's Beautiful
Stores, But Pass' is Par
Excellence.
Every citizen of Roxboro is proud
of the many handsome stores in Roxboro,
it is a subject of remark to every
visitor here. You will find few I
small cities, and no town the size of
Roxboro which can boast of so many
handsome buildings and such magnificent
stocks of goods in all lines, especially
in the department store
lines, but there is no more handsome
store building, or more complete line
of furniture to be found in any city
or town in North Carolina than that
cf Mess. W. Pass & Son, on North
Main Street.
' The building is sixty feet front,

?uu n uvum ux unv r.unxrcu iect.|
two stories and basement. The front
is pressed brick, with granite -trimmnigs,
the building being a most
handsome structure. The three floors,
basement, shew room and srfond
flcorf where, the surplus Btoclc is carried,
are filled to overflBtoing with
furniture which would do cr.edit to
any stock carried in the State. Honestly,
we doubt if there is a furniJ
turc store in the Carolina's whichff'-,
. cart show you a more select' line than
'' . you will find here.
And Roxboro is proud of her merfv'
chants.

, "APPLES OF GOLD."
Dr. J. A. Burrow, editor of the J
Methodist Advocate, put on his hest
s-iadom cap a little while ago and 1
rote the
ipples of gold in pictnres of silver: J
"QuarreTing never gets anybody c
iriywhere, except into trofibie. Quarreling
with a congregation is abolit ?
:he poorest sort of preaching. Gener- i
illy it hardens folks and makes them c
note inclined to go on and do the
rhings the preacher is trying to keep ^
hem from doing. Quarreling with
official members is in the same catf- s
jory, An employer who quarrels f
ivith his employees is missing the r
nark. A lawyer ^*ho quarrels with a
^yrt or with a jury is doing his
dient a great injustice. The.house- v
<eeper whe quarrels with a servant
Icq^not heln matters except in the r
-arost cases. But a quarreling preach- u
2r in the pulpit is the limit. He is
jxpecteii to be a man of grace. He a
s expected to be religious?that is. s
sweet snirited and under restraint.!
rhis "does not mean that he is to sub- f
nit to everything; but quarreling is.F
die poorest possible way to aceom-j
pli?h the thing he wants to accmn-.v
plish." |11

R0XB0R0 MARKET
MUCH IMPROVED
SEVERAL PILES BRING MORE
THAN SEVENTY DOLLARS
Nearly One Hundred Fifty Thousand
Pounds Spld At An Average
of Twenty Dollar*.
We are glad to note the advance
in the prices which were paid here
last week. True, the tobacco showed
tip batter, more of the desirable
grader being offered, bat there was
a decided upward tendency of the
market along all lines, and the farmers
were greatly pleased with the
sates. All three houses -report good
sales' each day, especially was this
true as to Monday's sale.
At the Independent Warehouse
Company they report two sales which
are especially good, Mess. Thomas
and Walker sold 162 lbs. at 2D, 139 at
46, 140 at 73, 166 at 40 and 28 at
16.60, making a total of 632 pounds
for $292.76, averaging $46.00 for the
entire load.
Thomas and Royster sold 156 at
24.60, 120 at 40, 210 at 67, 200 at 39
and 100 at 26. making a total cf 786
pounds for $330.92, averaging $42.00.
At the-Hyco Mr. B- L. Evans sold
a load for $471.32.
J. T. McCullock sold 474 pounds
for average of $40.20, best grade
bringing $66.00.
' Charles Norris averaged $36.38.
H. S. Morton sold a load, his best
grade Bringing $73.00.
. C. E. Oakley?sold-a. kad whichbrought
him $250.00, his best grade
bringing $70.00.
The Planters report the best sale
of the season on last Monday, in fact
prices have ruled unusually good during
the entire past week at this
house.
You see from the above that prices
are very moth better getting close
up to the- hundred dollar notch. While
there i3 little of this grade coining
in, there will be seen plenty which
goes well above fifty dollars. Just as
we stated j;ome time since, when you
want the very HIGHEST price brine:
your tobacco to RoXboro, for if it i<
felling well anywhere you will find
it selling just a little mite better in.
Roxbcro. This is true because Person
County tobacco is noted for
extrq quality and the manufacturer4'
all look this way when they want the
best.
