GOOD NEWS FOR
THE BOYS AND GIRLS
'We have some {rood news for the
t>oys and girls of this County. The
p*st spring we decided to form a
Boys Com Club, and offered a prist*
of fifti dollars t) the bey who would (
fwliitc the most corn on an acre
of land. We wanted .fifty members
of this club, but failed "to reach our
desires, though we are intensely
proud of the forty boys who joined,
?nd will soon be gathering and "hav
ing their com patch measured. We
do not know who will be the lucky
boy, but we dp know we are going
( to get more pleasure out oft present
ing him with that rponey that e
possibly get ooCof^receiving it.
And then we are going to print his
picture in ? these columns and hold
him up as the .big "Corn Bee/'
Well 'now, the trood news. As we
gave the prize this year to a boy
we felt it was our duty to remem
ber the girls with our next prize
? offer, and we are going to give trftv
dollars to some girl in a Camiihg
Club contest. We. have not worked
rut the particulars, but we want the |
f?irls to know we still, think of then; I
? -r-tbi-.ugli ? w;-. have .passed - the. stage
where short dresses and bobbsd lair I
cuts much ite with us. .
But the boys are riot going ,to b?
l??ff. out, for tie People-, Bank ha- |
authorized us to offer another pr'-z^
" ?? ?
of fifty dollars to the boy wh: raise s I
the jiiost com.cn an acre in H) 27.
We are delighted to have the pleas
ure of 'making' this .announcement,
and it is oply anotlte Vvwtenco oi
? the interest t hi bank i> taking in !
tbe welfare of. the boy 5 and girls I
<1 this County. We '.have repeatedly '
stated that your b?st friends were |
the bankers. aml we again' make that j
statement v\ it !. ut ;i,ny fjtftr . f hav- |
?ng to ret iv.rt.
^owr boys and girls. brgin'ip think '
, ? about these prizes, an.'! while it : |
n lonp tinvi,* to you, but not to -h? j
older ones, bef re you will actually
begin work t: > win these prif.es, jt
is none too soon to begin laying
plan- for X'.-.e work, .
-f-. We "Tiave not mentioned it to any
d our merchants, or business men.
but we h'ipe to interest some of thorn*
lo the extent that some one will offer
* second and third prize in each of
ihese counteets, so that if you do
pot win the first yoa strll may he a
winner.
SAVE- SAVE -SAVE
We a'l remember bac!> in 1019 how
plentiful money was, and how 'lavish
ly we spent it. We spent as though
there never euld be another lean
year, and for (he past ?several years
we have all wi ' hod We ha 1 been
more thoughtful an:i ?aved soma of
those dollars which, we literally
threw away. Agra in. ? it lo ks as if
the fa rmer was going to lave, an
abundance, for never have crop pros
pects been so bright in this .County..
Undoubtedly yoi have plenty of
bread stuff, and if you do not have
an abundance >f feedstuff for your
rtock it will largely be your rwn
fault. One of the, best farmers of
the C:unty was in our office a few
days ago and urged us to say some-^
thing nhirh would ratua tlm fnim.
era fccf lo:k. well after saving^? saving
ihu f?al> wit*-* nnd ttip rig v.1./
which is growing scf abundantly on
~ ?V?Vy Tarm. this year.
He said whilv it was not a* goo??
pea vine, or spy* bean, r
clover and timothy, still, it was too
g?od to let go to waste, and was far
better than paying thirty or forty
dollars a ton for hay next spring,
much of which was no better than
I the crab grass or rag weed. And
he was right. One of the big troub
les with most of us is, we do not
save, and are to^ wasteful?especially
when we have the money to waste.
\Ve feci that we cculd not bring you
better advice than to SAVE! SAVE!
BE NEIGHBORLY
If you waht to have fricn:U* ycu
must be friendly, and if you want
to have good neighbors, ycu must
be neighborly. Now, Roxboro want/;
every man, woman and child in this
County to know that Hoxboro is
neighborly arr! w .nt> to b2 neighbor
to every family in the .County. To
show our neighborly spirit a move Is
on foot to have every citizen :f the
?G^unty come in on Tuesday, Oc
tober ..fifth, and be the guests 4 of the
town. The tobacco market will op
en on this aay and i: i* hoped, and
expected that a large cr:wd will be
here, for every farmer is intensely
(interested in the opening . of the
mai-kets in this belt.
Jurt what plan? will be used to
entertain .the farmers have not been
worked out, but.it is hoped to make
a gala day of it, and- every farmer
Is expected to ccme, and you may
rest assured that you will receive
the glad hand. We will tell- you
m:re about it in our next issue,,
when plans will he move fully ma

Indifference To
Civic Duties
One of (ft? cy.'iifr sins, of t'?c
?vmerieaii pf ok. for n sin it is. if
.their .diei.o.pf iv| r,f fh-ir. responsibility
- citizens t> vrjq. >fcr. ;? nii womtfri
!ilik?. chi'k this r'=pcft>3ibility ' y'Hh
.111 utUv indi:Tc*::inc2 to the fact t.hnf
in d'-intr ?o they lire betraying, their
country. This is seen in the failure
to vpta m local and in national poli
tics. In a matter .f bond issues a
large proportion of the people do
not v te, and thus many bond? are
issued, by municipalities by a ma
jority of those who vote, but which
in reality are such a minority of
the citizens that they scarcely rep
resent the real sentiment of the
rommunitr. hi loial elections, a?
well as iii national e'fcctions, our
people are indifferent to -their r<r
s"on*:bii:iies. ' But little more than
ne-i|f of our. -citizens vited at the
Presidential. olcti li'.'Vnd in. a
| recent election in Atlanta,1 a city of
| 3.10,000 population, only ll.fiOO voted.
, Those who stayed away from the
! r-:!ls thus permitted a union-li:bor
, Vlement to control the elect in and
; to put into off : 'e many men wh:r do'
net represent the best interest* of
the city. The result of this is seen
in some recent iNsal legislation, on*
j the wh ip st-ry as to the outcome
| of this failure of Atlanta people to
I vote is told in an interesting article
j by the president of the Atlanta
j ( feamber of Com. frier .'O.
1 The citizen who fails to accept
jury duty unless there are providen
tial reasons against it, (,r who fails
?o vote, is recreant to his responsi

his state and to the country.

Condemns The Movie.?
Dear Editor:
I May I add n few \vords to . the
pl'eoe pr!nti?i in yaur pa.p.ir Inst*
We :*k concerning thi evir of Motion
pictures ? .
Facing the farts c- they' -arc I
can't understand yrYy it is that the
hurch people, especially in the towns
and cities where there' Is so much
harm d.ne. do not fight the evil
r pictures and r.pl- jillo\v any except
gOO^picture? to be 'hown. Are they.
ristian or j"ust asleep? Seems to
me that anybo ly could see th^t- the
picture!: and other things that are
allowed are carrying the young peo
ple to the devil and many times
|immaterely. How people, can sit
still and see this happen even to their
own children is more than I can un
derstand.
I recall a case now of a fourteen
year old room-mate I once had whose
mother was dead, she lived ir. a
North Carolina town and had at
tended picture' shews fr -m a small
child. She, like the. boys" and girls
spoken . of in the article last week,
was influenced by what she saw on
the screen. So one day after hav
ing seen a picture in which some
I one was hanged, and after receiving:
some ill treatment from her step
mother, she decided to end it all
by hahging her-self. And if she had
not been hindered she would have
take? her life, all because the pic
ture suggested it to her as a way
cut of her trodbles.
These extreme cases, however, are
few, compared to the number of lives
ruined by the gvil < influnces of the
vile picture.', and other amusements
that lead people mto paths of Sin*
Knowing all this and seeing ?o
many going to 'distraction and tci
hell H:w carf christian people sit still |
and never ni??ke_ any effort to get j
the evil nnn^emi'iiLs uot find joplaoo *
them wit1v irood things? In the day.
-.'of Judgment who will have to answer',
for the many -ruined lives? Can
somc-oft* tall me? Lets get busy and
