9ROAD NEXT $1.50 PERr YEAR IN ADVANCE R0X8QR0 MAKES RAPID GROWTH ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE MOVBD IN YESTERDAY Roxboro. Now In. the Smpll City Class With Approximately 5000 Inhabitants ? Yesterday was a great day for Roxboro, the citizens having voted almost unanimously, for the exten sion of the town limits. "The limits of the town have been very mucli circumscribed, being only .a .half mile each way -from the court- house, while as n. matter of fact the area- was about twice this sise. FW many years it ha* been apparent that the town must enlarge its area, but for one cause and another it has been postponed, but Anally an act was passed by the legislature, and the vote was taken yesterday. Bright and early the voters be gan to register their votes itnd by mid-day it was evident the question would be carried, and at sun set when tfie votes were counted it was found that it had been almost unan imous, the vote being 381 for exten sion and 34 against. We congratu late the people upon this wise move and believe even those few who op posed will find that they have been benefitted rather than hurt, as they now seem to thin. Sl>NDAY SCHOOI.

A NOTE OF THANKS AND ENCOURAGMENT The pastor of "the E?st Roxbsro and Longhurst Charge is express ing a few. thoughts of appreciation just here. We have had a most won derful year. Experiences of every na ture have, arisen. Life has been great. Friends have been mnde and spirit ual growth Has been seen. Life is greater now than it was twelve months agp. Sadness and gladness have been seen very often. As the Conference year nears an end and cur return to the community is un certain, we are expressing our ap preciation for kindnesses shown. We were greatly delighted over the congregation we had in Grace an audience cheers a pastor. It was the largest that we have had for a regular church service. The W. O. W. are to be congrat ulated for tkeir splendid coopera tion. I wish other pastors could have seen that Degree Team of East Roxboro as it came marching in clad in regular Wcodmen clothes, an if took its place in cur Church. No, the men did not stop with at-, tendance but made a gift of finances The pastor is proud of- the met) of our Church. Just a few more words: The pas tor now thanks Longhurst Church fcr its splindid work. That chlurch has paid its pastor's salary in full, but lacks a bit on offerings. We will get that. Longhurst church is doing better than it ever l)as done and it certainly cheers the pastor. We are now urging Grace church to work rapidly for the next few weeks and come out with flying col ors. We know the members can and we believe they will. The pastor does want his first charge to come out in full. All cooperation is urg ed and desired: Again the pastor and wife express their thanks for all. kindnesses and cooperation extended us during the year. REV. M. C. ELLERBE, t ? J along, N. C. o .

Frcm every in dicantion t>w sales will bo light for some time, as there is yet consider able tobacco in the fields, and the farmers will be busy looking after this before they will begin to market very much. - As is generally known, prices have been very disappointing in East Carolina and South Carolina, as welt as in Georgia, but we believe oar farmers will get a good price for anything they may have which is at all desirable. TiW,, there is a world cf common tobacco in this sec tion this year, and that will probably be low, but our prediction is that if you have some gcod tobacco, with good color and juicy body you will have little cause to complain.
