LOCAL WAREHOUSE VICTIMIZED BY FORGER Winstead Warehouse Pays Out Sum To Person On Bogus Bill IDENTITY NOT KNOWN at u cl m W* 1 U] The latest model In highway rob bery or forgery made its inital bow to Roxboro's tobacco market on last Friday morning. When the clerks at the Winstead Warehouse went :o check over the day's sales and (y found that their balance check up approximately $265 short, nat urally they got busy to discover the error, but they found no error. In checking over their records they found, however, that they had made out two checks, one for $120 and the other for something over $140, but they had no record of any such sale. This brought on more talk and when the matter was An ally cleared up it was found that someone had made out a bogus floor bill, presented it to the cash ier, collected his money, and skip ped. It was the first time that this sort of racket had ever been tried on the Roxboro market, although we understand that it is quite a common practice on other markets. At this writing nothing has been learned as to the identity of the person or persons who got the money. Apparently they were men well versed in the art of extracting funds from warehouses without leav ing any tobacco to show for their money. At any rate, unless the men are caught, the warehouse stands to lose the entire amount. * o Thing's Are Going Strong at Edmondson We are happy to tell you we sold our house full Monday for the best prices we have seen for ten years.

The buyers urely did stay on the Job, bidding s anxiously for the last pile as for be first. An honest comparison rill show that there is no reason or not selling your tobacco in Rox oro, especially if you live in the lounty, and want to help build up our own County. Hie total sales amounted to 150, 00 pounds, in round numbers, and lade the high average of $23.00. f these prices continue throughout he season, and there is no reason irhy they should not, then the armers are going to be in better hape than for many years. "Hiey rill not only get a profit out of this rop, but they will pay off many if their obligations, and begin to eel like life is worth living after A. ?r' What Is Your Plan? A hundred a month for twelve nonths Is a good start. For the tewly married youngster it pro Ides his widow with something to arry her over a difficult period of eadjustment. For the man of some state It provides an income for the amlly while the estate is being ettled, thus avoiding the possibility if loss by forced sale of securities, ^r the young unmarried man Just tarting out in business it provides in affectionate testimonial to his nother or sister.
