LETTERS FROM THOS. W. HEITZ
MARKETING SPECIALIST
Would Any Of Those Duties Have
Helped the Fanners of this
County
Mifcs Bessie Heath Daniel
Roxboro, North Carolina,
My dear Mis* Daniel:
I am enclosing^ p. clipping from
bit weekV Market New* yhich I
think will be of general intere*?_to
the farmers in your county. Thiu
is an experiment that we had sqn
t 'mplatcd putting on in Person Coun
ty' Z
I think an- article in ^ur lociil
It paper to this effect would do some
] good. I mm also attaching some ex
tracts from reports of the different
county agents that ar# in th'e dis
trict which your county ii fh If
it wculd not take up too mu:h space
in the county paper spau might hav?
these extracts printed;
Then ask the fa -mrr* of Pc^cn
County if any of those duties phe
formed would hove bercft'rt their
farms, if they had been preforgiei
on them. I do not' know a better
argument fcr.a county agent than
the extract" from their reports show
ine the actual work they have been
doing.
Vonrs very truly,

SWAKTHMORB CHAUTAUQUA
Guarantors I.eft With A Small De
ficit For Their Trouble.
I r"
The . Chautauqua had the hoards :
last week, and while the attendance
eemed to be 'good, the guarantors
' r&ilcd to self -the required number of
season tickets and were left with
a small deficit-. Ai> a whole the
Chautauqua fiiii- not seem to ^measure
up to it susual high stihding, the
acts being rather of the ordinary .
save as to the Davis Sisters. I-ast
year the one address was .said to be |
worth the entire cost of a aeir-W
ticket, but this time the address was
not up to expectations.
We have not heard whether the |
Chautauqua succeeded in getting a
guarantee for next year or not, but
unless there is an improvement ir i
the performances, both on the lec
ture platform and in other respceta. j
the guarantors will prdbably fape
another deficit.

ROTARY MEETING IN OXFORD
Last Thursday was Rotary day in
Oxford, it being a meeting" of Group
$ of the 37th Disttlit. Andrew
Jiamieson is chairman of this group
and when the roll was called it was
found thit there were present just
fifty per cent cf the membership of
the group, and Roxbiro had the dis
tinction _ cf having the largest per
centage of members present.
Ben Lassiter lpade the address of.
welcome which was .responded to by
Joe NoeU- The. program consisted
of speech making, music, vocal and
instrumental, and really the speak
ing wai< of "an exceptionally High
order, and was all done ? by home
?men. Roiihori was honored by hav
ing one of its members on this pro
gram, Prof. Archie Stalvey, and we
are qnly telling the truth twhen we
say Archlo delivered one of the very
vest speeches of the day.
After the speech-miking the meet
ing adjourned to the Womans' club
where dinner wa- served? note. we
'<^ffrnpr**YT() Wrt'liWeh.'-bttt.-al
real old fashioned Christmas din
ner, turkey, cranberry sauce, fried
oysters, and all df the . other acces
sories to match, making it a sure
enough Christmas dinner. In fact
it was simply J1 ?amnle of Oxford j
Kcsjitiiuy- ????? . I
Nc"W, if we could stop here, u
would be all right, far so far Rox
fcoro had acquitted herself "with |
pride, but? there was a foot hall,
at least?it was advertised as a foot
ball game between Oxford and Roy
bor ? but our beys were too weak/
and it was simply a one-sided affair,
just about a match for those base
ball games heretofore mentioned.
But , it was a good day, well spent,
'and we forgive : Oxford for drubbing
cur foot ball boys.
