The exercises open ed with an assembly of all the ex soldiers in front of the courthouse at 9:45 a. m. The soldiers formed into ranks and paraded through the main part of town. After the parade everyone assembled in the auditorium of the courthouse to hear Mr. I. T. Valentine, speaker of the occasion. Mr. R. A. Whit field. Commander of the Lester Blackwell Post, presided over the meeting. Invocation was by the post's chaplain, Rev. J. P. Herbert. The chairman, in a few words, wel comed th^ ex-service men to the celebration of such an important event. During the course of the program the children of the ex -ser vice men gave several selections in song which recalled to the soldiers and to the remainder of the au dience the war time. This group was directed by Miss Katherine Hatchett, music teacher in the Rox boro City Schools. It was a very touching part of the program. One of the most beautiful and Impressive events was the service just at the eleven o'clock hour when Dick Puckett, one of the local boy scouts, blew taps on his bugle in commemoration of the boys who died in Prance; this was followed by a thirty-second period of silent prayer and was taken up by Rev. A. J. McKelway, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The speaker, Mr. Valentine, was late in appear ing and so Rev. W. P. West, pastor of the First Baptist Church, was called on to pinch-hit for him. He made a plea for peace and right eousness on the part of ex-soldiers and everyone else. Miss Rachel Long, small daughter of Mr. Ken neth Long, very touchingly read "In Flander's Field," an immortal poem of war-time. Be I Ore Mr. vaieumie ?ii?cu ?j-?. B. I. Satterfleld and Rev. V. E. Duncan had been called In to help Mr. West pinch -hit for him. Mr. Valentine came and his address was tee 11 worth waiting for. He recalled any of the valiant deeds of glor Hub North Carolinians In many wars and especially the bravery and courage of them in the last war. He plead with the Legionnaires to lead upright lives and set the ex ample for those who are growing Into young manhood and woman hood now. His remarks were enjoy ed by his audience as evidenoed by the close attention and applause accorded him. Just before he spoke Miss Lucile Collins, talented teach er of expression, of Spring Hope, N. C? read to the audience a. se lection which recalled many for gotten memories. After the exercises the Legion naires repaired to the Pioneer Warehouse for dinner and it wad one to brag about for many days. Here is a complete copy of the program for the entire day: 1. Assembly 2. Parade 3. Exercises in the Courthouse 4. Dinner 5. Baseball game (cancelled 6. Dance at the New Hotel Jones, 8 p. m.? 11:59 p. m. o P. T.

Mr. Loring was com missioned by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1910 to go among the American Indians and study their lives, customs, and to bring back with him an interpretation of their music. This program which he is going to present is based on the study which he made at that time. He has devoted his entire life to this work and his program is one of high-class entertainment, one well worth the time of every per son in Person Counyt. Mr. Loring won the respect and friendship of the old-time chiefs, gained their confidence, and was permitted to enter in to the lives of the first Americans as have few other white men. For the first time the wild, weird beauty of these song, true to native primitiveness, was caught by a white man. It is this that he brings with him when he comes to entertain us on Tues day night, Nov. 28, at 7:45, in the Central Graded school building.

Pres. ROXBORO MARKET IS GOING STRONG Monday's Sale Was The Largest For The Season In Pounds And Price MARKET AVERAGED $19 I Monday saw the largest sale of the season for the Roxboro market, and notwithstanding the heavy | ; sales the prices were unusually good, the market averaged for the entire sale at all of the houses $19 a hundred. A number of piles of wrappers sold for better than $70, with the common grades very strong. We are really proud of our mar ket, and candidly believe every farmer who is selling here this year is satisfied, not only with the price, but with the fact that this market is paying as much as any other market. You may not realize it, but it is true that the tobacco mar ket here means much to the farmer, as well as to the town. You may not realize it, but it is true never theless, that when you haul your tobacco a distance of thirty, forty or fifty miles it costs money, and when you sell here you save not only this cost, but you save time as well. o Notice The Woman's Club room is open for the use of any who need a large, comfortable room for enter tainment at bridge, or parties of any kind or to serve clubs, organi zations or fraternities at a very reasonable price. Your use of this room will enable the Woman's Club to carry on their civic work which is so important to the making of our town and community a more fit place in which to live. We will appreciate your help along this line very much. Mrs. S. B. Davis. o Breaks Arm Miss Mary Harris, daughter of Mr. W. H. Harris, had the misfor tune last night to fall and frac ture a bone in her right wrist.

Us ually the biggest Extra Vote Offers or inducements are made later on in the race and they are given ttt a time vtlien subscriptions are harder to find. The "Christmas Club Cash Offer Campaign" is conducted upon en tirely different lines from the or dinary "voting contest." The Cour ier is not attempting to decide the most popular man or woman by any means. There is 'very little similarity to" a "contest" *in the "Christmas Club Cash Offer" Cam paign. The awards wil be made strictly upon a basis of results the candi dates secure during the campaign. "Results Count," is a timeworn slo gan and it applies forcibly in the "Christmas Club Cash Offer" Cam paign. The campaign is purely a business proposition wherein men and women enter into competition with each other on the same basis and the results decide the size and nature of the reward. Every day New ambitions are aroused. New determination springs forth. And ? new nominations are added to the roster of those who will com pete in the Courier "Christmas Club Cash Offer" Campagin.
