About 60,880 Pounds Sold For An

Sales were very good last week
tat the offerings were not up to j
what they wore a few days before,
and this may have been the reason
| itany of the farmers thought the
price sagged a little on .Thursday ,
ieid Friday. However, on Monday,
K . * the sales opened up well, with good ,
break.8 at both of the houses, rind I
t the average for the entire sale at1
the two houses was $31.03.
Compare the averages being made |
PBe *', c.i the other mskets and you will
r: . see the Roxboro market is taking i
flighty good care of the farmer who '
brings his tobacco here. In fact:

much about what other markets ;
were doing that he took a load to

nevertheless it brought $200 an acre.'
M?he entire farm brought nearly fifty
thousand dollars, and the heirs were

Business Man and Farmers See Feat
Of Cotton Ginning
O? . * "
j Twenty or more farmers and busiI
ness men of this town and eom-j
, rmjnity witnessed a feat of cotton
ginning at the ginnery of G. W.
Thomarf, which probably means so
much to the development of the cot"
ton growing Industry in this county,
as the invention of the cotton gin
meant to the South as a whole. J.
R. hummus, who lives a few miles
from Roxboro, brought in a load of
cotton weighing 1,270 pounds,
' which had been pulled burr and all
, instead of being picked clean in the
j field.) With Mr. Thomas's up-to-date
plant, including the new boll-breaker
and cleaner attachments, this load of
bolly cotton netted a bale weighing
318 pounds, which sold on the local
market at twenty cents.
The work was done under the
direction of Joe T. Banks, experiTexas.
The farmers who witnessed
this novel process were enthusastlc
about it, for it was a clear demon|
siration that every boll of the late
local crop that has cotton in it cin
be saved.
