TEN YEARS HENCE
We have great faith in the pood
people of this County, for they have
the intelligence ttmi the natural ad
vantages to make it one of the fore-"
most counties -m -4he- state , and in
ten years you will hardly recognize
the old section. There have been i
wonderful strides in the manner of"
fanning during the past ten years,
but the next ten is going to be a
revelation to most of our citizens. ,
Our farmers learning that i
they can not defend upon the to- I
i>acco crop as their nly money crop, j
and ere long will adopt the more i
modern ideas. J3rive thfough the
bounty now and you will see very.!
few thoroughbred Jersey or Holstein
ccw*. and only here and there a
*iro?d of pure bred chickens, but
jiwt watch us in the near future.
Ten years from now and it will be i
the exception to pass a farm home !
without seeing a large flock of im
proved chickens running around, the
4ien lot, and in the nearby pasture
ycu will fee the famous Jersey or
JtLolstein grazing lazily on pastures
irreen. This is not an idle dream, j
Irot you wrill see it; and see it in
less than ten years.
Only last week at the Farmers j
<k>nvention in Raleigh a gentleman
from Wisconsin Was on the program
?nd among other things he told them
about Wisconsin shipping milk to !
Charlotte, Winston-Salem. Greens
boro and Raleigh, The freight on
this milk to either of these points
in more t>.an St costs our farmers
to produce it, and yet we sit still
aijd Jet this far off state come in
-and supply what We refill to pro
duce at a good profit. And again,
he told them that hay was being
shipped i ritn Xorth Carolina from
his state, selling .for thirty fiut
?dollars a ton, when we irfcuhJ r-^v.se
just as good hoy riprht he for k*=?
than live dollars a tor..
It has ^bffn -J^ionstrated' :a.t'
satisfaction of every fainter that he
can not make money jrdlsinjf to
bacco alone.' and 'it is being "r ammercd
into him that he ran produce niilfe
and hotter, raise chickens and many
other side crops r:t a profit,
leaving him ample" time to make his
tobacco crop. Pqj-sibly, he might
not be able to plant as many li ills
of tobv-"> as ha?, been h's wont,
hut he will n./t be hurt by that. for
we are convinced if the tobacco crop
?was cut'twenty live" p? r C nt through -r
-out t he sou th ? t w ou Id bring rv- " . e

numbers, but that fe not worth
worrying about, for after all, the
I happy life is in the small t \vn whore
every one knows every one he meets,
nnd hat a hearty word for all.
Honestly, we do not give a rap
whether thU town ever grows info
the city class, for it is not numbers
which makes life worth while. The
citizenship is what counts, and there
is n) more desirable -class . of citi
zens anywhere than you will find in
Roxboro, and it is more GOOD citi
zens we want, and not factories.
Let's cultivate the friendship of :.pr
country neighbors, and let's be con
tent to do business with them on
| the square. The friendship and
trade from this County is worth
more than all of the manufacturing
plants we will ever be able to at
tract, 'and with this friendship will
not come that riffraff which follows
the growth of cities.
u There will be some who will take
issue with us on these expressions,
but we want to ask Svhat can we
hope for more than we have at pre
sent if this town Was to get into
the ten thousand city class?
We have never seen sach promis
ing crops as you wiH find all over
this County. The wheat crop was
the best ever, the corn: crop is most
promising and tobacco is all that
the could wish. However, we would
like to sound- tfm- warnir.g to jonr
[ tcKacco farmers: You Vave never
seen tobacco grow faster than it
has in the past twf .or three w^eks,
and when this is .true it always fol
lows that it will ripen fast, and un
less you are on your guard it is go
ing to ripen on yiu faster than you
ca.n cut and cure, if you expect to
make good cures of your tobacco then
you must cut it when it is ripe, fox
nothing will deteriorate more rapid
ly than tobacco when it is ready for
the bam.
I' ? - " ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? " '
Well, boys how is that corn patch ?
If you have kept the grass out of
it there is no reason why every one
of you ?hr>uld not make a wonderful
crop, and we are banking on some of
you making a record for this County.
Close to one hundred bushels is the
record as it stands today, but you
are going to beat it. Who will it be?

MY CttURJCH AXO I
Clipping From the Methodist Layman
My Church is the place where the
Word of God. is preached, the pow
er -f God is felt, the spirit of God
is manifested. the love of God i .
vealed,. and the unity of God is y A
ceived. . J
It is the home of my sjuI, thfc al
tar of my* devotion, the health of my
faith, the center of my affections
and the foretaste f heaven.
I have united with it in my Solemn
covenant, pledging myself to attend
its services, to pray for its mem
bers, t? give to its support, and to
obey its laws. i
It claims the fv*st place in my
heart, the highest place in my mindr
the principal place in my activities, I
and its unity, peace, an :1 progress
concern my life in this "world and
that which is to cime.
I owe to it my zeal, my benevoh
ence, and my prayers. When I negr
lect its Services, I injure its good
name. I lessen its power. I dis
courage its members, and- 1 chill my
soul.
I have solemnly premised, in the
right of God and men. to advance,
its interest by my faithful attend
ance, by reading the Holy Bible, by
never neglecting its ordinances, by
contributing to its support, by meet
ing with my fellow- members, ; by
watching over their welfare, and by
joining with them "in prayer pnd
praise and service: and that promise
I this day renew, before God my
Father,' Christ my Redeemer, and the
Holy Spirit my Sanctifier. ? Anr.oy

MUSICAL HOG CALLING
NOT A LOST ART
I Raleigh, )f, C., August 2.?Mu-ical
r?nd effective hop calling is not a
lost art amonp the farm folks of
Xortb Carolina if the performatiees
of the 52 contestants in this feature,
event- at the State Farmers* Conven
tion, last week is a real indication.
Great volumes of sound, punctuat
ed by appealing lower tones and con'
vincing facial expression were used
by each of the contestants. So. real
istic did the; callers make their ef
forts that the 1,500 obsei"vers gath
ered in front of PulJen Hall began
to look around apprehensively fear
ing that perhaps a great herd of
swine would come rushing over the
campus and sweep them frorr. iheir I
feet. It was impassible, far the judg
es to select the three prize wifimerS
nt the first. trial held at midday on
Wednesday, July 28, so a second cor?^
test was held lor the tell selected
in the first occasion.
At the second contest, a greater
crowd had gathered. The news had
gone abroad over Rajcigh that there
were s .me veal h:g . caUers at the
College and the visiting farmers
y.-e re joined by a great number of
town pe6plej; The final selection was
announced^ at the evening meeting
and J. C. Nichols of Durham was
awarded first prize of $2o at' the
chartipftm caller cf* the Convention
Second prize f $.15 was won by
?J. H. -Spnnklf- of Route 7, Winston
Salem and third prize of $10 was
awarded ; to H. G. Bandy of ElJi:a
beth City.
The officials of the convention
stated that this contest brought a
new note of informality and fun In
to the ? convention proceedings and
the farmers litems elves vot<Jd that
it must become an annual event
The ladies, not to be neglected in
such fun, made a request tlflat, relet,
year, prizes h? offered for successful
chicken callers. The fund of $50
used as prizes for the contest was
d natud by the American Limestone
Company of Knoxville, Tennessee.
