Si, SHALL THE TOWN LIMITS BE EXTENDED Mayor Barm Grm Some worth while Rhmw K.r Extend ing. Reade Them Editor Roxboro Courier, Roxboro. N. C. Dear Mr. Editor: As the time is rapidly approach- ' ing for the election on the question of whether or not the city limits of Roxboro shall be extended, it occurs to me that possibly oar people have Dot been folly informed as to the merits of this question. This ques tion means so murh to the well-be ing of oar citizenship and to th^^fut ur? growth of our town that I am here attempting to give some of the facts in regard to this measure which cause oar present Board of Town ". Commissioners so earnestly to ad vocate the including in the town limits of the proposed new territory. It is believed that the great ma jority of our people are in favor of this measure, but the thing th<it is especially feared is that oar- people will not go out to vote on next Toes day This would be a calamity in deed, because this is a vote against the books and every registered per son who does not vote casts his vote against extension. Will not oar peo ple in favor of this act remember this and come to the polls og the 29th of their own accord, without solicitation, and cast their vote for . farther nrogryss and im|m<wm?it? I trust that they will and that this rvjch cMfc. pride and duty may be manifest in oar splendid little town on that day. Let neither the men nor tba Hjf*. forget that they an- vo ters and that it ' fs their duty to come to the polls and vote. There are two classes affected by this proposed extension, those with in the present town limits and those within the territory proposed to be incorporated. I can imagine no rea , -,n for any citizen living within the present limits voting against this measure unless it would be because of a conscientious feeling that it was unj'jst to those living in and own ing property in the territory to be I incorporated: For them it means a -?-rjuch lower tax rate, 30 per cent at least, we think, it means a larger and greater municipality, and it means that territory not now good I far residential development due to the lack of municipal improvements will be opened up for homes or manu facturing enterprises. What can this class of affected persons lose by voting for this measure of progress far Roxboro ? Now as to the class of affected citizens, namely those living or cm i? ST land within the territory pro posed to be incorporated. It will coat .them something- in the way of taxes ta be sure. If they gain more than their taxes amount to however what have they lost? Have they not gained instead? As long as they remain outside of town they cannot hope to. enjoy tho3e municipal facil ities of which the town boasts. If t^ey should include themselves in the town there would be extended to them as rapidly as possible those benefits and facilities which make city life the envy of his country reighbor and friend such as water facilities, streets and lights, and all ? such things. He could expect his property to take on a greater value, it would be more desirable for resi dential sites, it would cost him less to have these facilities than if in' stalled privately. It seems to me that both of these classes of affected citizens would be the great gainers if city extension carries. For this reason and for the great er development of Hoxbcro I hope no citiaen will forget to vote on noxt Tuesday and that the gres: -najor f!y of them will' vote the right way. Y?nr?' "very respectfully; * P. BURNS, Mayor of Roxboro. ? OPENING OF SCHOOL Sbj'rics Creek rehool wttf open on Monday, Sept.' 28th, 1935.

' a u vuiiiilui AN ERROR CREAM SHIPPING EFFORTS' 1 GOING GOOD ORTST j J Miss Daniel Comets Aa Error A* Te Payment For Cream _ ' - When Mr. Hendenhall, manager' ot the North State Creamery, at Burlington. was in Roxboro looking over the situation in regard to w tablishmg a cream-shipping station. 1 understood him to say that hia company would pay cash on delivery of cream .and made this statement in an article ' appearing in the next issue of The Conrier. Mr. Menden hall did n6t say that. It was simply a misunderstanding on my part The fact of the' matter is that -it is impossible for any creamery to pay cash for butterfat until the cream has 'been put through the Babcock tester, a very intricate pro* ces? which determines accurately the quality of butterfat in your particu lar can of cream. The creamery sends your checks promptly on the 10th of the month following delivery^ While there is no big money to be made in selling cream, it is a side line that should have a strong appeal to Person County farmers. When Dr. Miller was vacinating rattle here last year, the number ran somewhert between 7060 and 9000. That shO?? up pretty well for a county of 1900ft, population*. But these cows are ntfl' bringing in as much mcney .as ttiayj should. These cows ought to brinjg enough cream cheeks to aid fan in keeping away from time p This business of paying "time pr is simply economic slavery, and sooner we look that fact squa. in the face, the better it will be us. I suggest that each out with this in viev: . .... try earnestly to deliver enough7 create each wek for your cream checks to j pay your grocery bill. Or, suppose ! you set a definite amount to work! for. Would you like to have even I $1.00 a week extra? Then deliver 2 1-2 lbs. butterfat each week. As I stated before, thi3 is no Ten j tore, in high finance. It is intended] primarily to open a market for what- j ever surplus cream there is in the j County. It's best feature is that | it will afford, a STEADY income.) something .you can count on every week in the year. The creamery will i be glad to take every gallon of cream ] we can possibly get in Person Coun ty. The North State Creamrey has its main office in High Point. Recen- J ly this company took over the cream ery in Burlington and they are now in position to handle all the cream they can get in surrounding terri tory.

Sister McGregor, a woman of ex ceptionally fine qualities of both mind and heart, had been with us only a short time, but we felt the loss of a faithful worker and a cultured christian. Therefore, be it resolved: ^ First, that we the members of Berry's Grove Baptist .. Church ex tend to her husband and to her fath er's family onr deepest sympathy. Second, that we commend then to ou rHeavenly Father's loving care, asking Him to help them bear their sorrow with the abiding faith that was her comfort always. Third, that we send a copy of these . resolutions to Brother McGregor and a copy to the Biblical Recorder for | publication. i While fighting in ardor in midday of life, !
