Game Ends With Hillsboro
Holding Long End of Score
Roxboro Shows Good - ? j
JOCK LONG KNOCKED OUT
Roxb ro embarked on its second 1
football venture last Friday, October
1st, meeting the Hillsboro eleven at
Hillsboro. The first half was played
in a light downpour cf rain, handi
capping both teams. The second
half was played in sunshine, bilt
"still on a muddy, slippery field Rox- j
boro showed up well against the big
boys. They put up the gamestj
3 tiff est, fight that We have ever seen
When you consider the score, con
sider the weights of the teams.
Hillsbcro averaged 20 pounds more
than Roxbcro, but Roxboro stuck with
them. And the opinion rests that
if Roxboro had received the first
kick-off they may have pulled Hills
boro for a sc ere in the first quarter.
Al\ who saw the game i?ive Roxboro
great credit fir playing an excellent
game. Dolan Long, Gdgar Masten,
Jim Allgood and Jack Long all sturx- <
ed. Jack Long made a hard tackle
in the last quarter that couldn't be
beat and gel knocked out for the
remaining 3 minutes cf the game.
Roxboro High plays the Methodist

and peg every day. And, the light
[little terrors will give you a thrill.

MOVIES WERE ENJOYED
Yesterday was ' Roxboro \s biggest
day* there being more tobacco hew
fcc. th?. opening than was ever
brought to Roxboro on any one day.
The farmers began bringing in to
bacco on Monday afternoon and by
night there ware a number of wag
es, ckse to one hundred, already
unloaded for the opening sale. By
early dawn yesterday morrfinfc the
wag;n* began rolling m, and fong>
before ? sale time the houses were
all crowded. Sales started earfjr
Mid while the utmost was done to
rush the sale* only two houses could
bo sold. The first Hale was at the
\\ instead and the second at th^Hreo,
Both the Planters and the. Pioneer
were full/ but had to be carried over
Until today.
100.000 founds On The i-ioors
While exact figures could not be
had it is generally believed that rr ore
than four hundred thousand pounds
yftte on the market. And beet of
all, prices were aim entire!;: satis
f actor. as there were lose than a.
half dozen piles taken in. When
you con?;der the. number of farmers
and the thousands of pounds, this ia
leally remarkeable. for there are al
ways - me who simplje will not be
satisfied, regardleis* of prices. The
average price is conservately esti
mated at better than 28 rent*.
We must comjiliment cur splen
did corps of buyers, for they stock
to the job until the very last pile
was sold. Prices were good through
out the <?av, but one farmer said fc?
us lata in the afternoon that the
farther they w?nt Mfe better the
price and this was even so. Mo
set oi buyers could, have stood more
faithfully to their posts and looked
closer after the farmers interest*
than they did. We are proud of
them fnnd take off our hats to them
f>r their splendid ? work.
At the lunch hour an intermission
of one hour was had so that the farm
their wives and their 'children
both white and col' red, might en
joy the splendid brunswick stew
which Mr. ?. H. Hunter, secretary of
the Boosters Club had prepared. Af
ter looking at the crowd,. a perfect
f.ea of faces which had gathered west
of the court house, estimated at five
thousand, one wondered if it would
be possible to feed this trreat host,
but Mr. Hunter was ecjual to the
job, and the appetite of every one
Was satisfield.
Thanks are due Mess. Kirby Bros.,
proprietors of the Palace Theatre for
their generosity in throwing open
the doors of their theatre to the
farmers and their families. They
ran their place all day and it was
crowded with earger throngs at al!
hours.
The people of Person County and
Roxboro are close friends and never
in the history of the town has thia
be*n more thoroughly made known
than ' yesterday. The Boosters
dab ahd the business and profes
sional men had a glad hand for every*
one, and the farmers' all wore smile*,
lejmcing in the gopd fellowship ex
isting between County and town.
