No, we didnt say It. A friend of
ours says some of the good folks
of this county are mad because we
said the "farmers are selling their
tobacco in Virginia because they
can get liquor over there." Again, we
say, NO, we said nothing of the
.kind, but on the other hand, we
emphatically said we did not believe
it. Read it again:
For Instance, some say it is be
cause some nearby markets furnish
an opportunity to get white-light
ning, liquor, others say it js be
cause of the sales tax, and others
say it is becquse the people of Rox
boro care nothing about the farmer
until time to sell tobacco comes
along. Honestly, we do not believe
any of these answer the question;
we do not believe the good people
of this county are carrying their to
bacco to Viflfinia because they want
the privilege of buying liquor from
a bar room; as a matter of fact?if
reports we hear are true?they can
buy all they want, in any quantity
they want, at any time they want
it, right here in Roxboro.
We dropped in at Hambrick, Aus
tin <fc Thomas drug store, headquar- 1
ters of the Busy Business Men, Jus{
to see how the boys were doing,
and one of the soda jerkers picked
up- a sandwich and asked the
crowd to hava breakfast with him.
Walter Williams, an old bachelor
and a faithful and worthy member j
of the club, replied; "No, thank you, t
I am not marired." The soda jerker
was. Pretty neat, don't you think.
Flem Long, our popular and wor
thy chairman of the board of Coun?
ty commissioners, says he now car
ries one key to his automobile in
his_ pocket. Last week he was at
tending a religious service down j
near Wilson. When he arrived on
the grounds he got out and locked [
his car; when he was ready to start ;
home in the late afternoon he put j
in his key, turned it, but it did not ?
unlock the car, rather he felt it give |
and upon further examination found ;
he had broken it. And there he was. 1
cne of the finest cars in the county,:
the key on the inside in full view, j
Dut no way to get at that key. Af
ter driving 20 miles to Wilson he
found a locksmith who made him
another key but after returning to
to his car at the church he found
the new key would not wont- weu,
we know Mem Is a gentleman, a
Christian gentleman, but if there
had not been a preacher standing
nearby we doubt if we could print
what he aaid about that locksmith.
However, the wife of the good
preacher was equal to the occasion,
for she turned to her handbag?one
of those carryalls?and produced a
nail file and after much filing and
fitting the key unlocked the car,
and Flem made the trip home with
out further trouble, but Flem says
from now on the extra key will be
found on his key ring. Inside of his
pocket at any and all times.
Wise business men know that the
first thing is to,have what people
want, and the second Is to let them
know you hai(e tit. In short, adver
tise in The Courier.
Walter Whitfield of Hurdle Mills,
R. 2, one of our most progressive
young farmers, was a caller last
Thursday. Walter says he has sold
all of his crop, save- about two barns,
and It has averaged more than $35.
And, he further says, he tried all
of the markets and, found Roxboro
the BEST. And lots of others have
had similar experience. . .
o
Fertilizer Gift
Yields Rich Return
For M. E. Church
Here is a story that will make a
hit with a lot-of church people who
are seeking inspiration to get their
house of worship out of debt, also
It's, a mighty fine fertilizer ad, a
swell warehouse ad and It speaks
volumes for The members of the
Allensville Methodist Church in
Allensville Township, of Person
county, North Carolina. Siilce every
body gave everything that entered
Into the proposition free?they are
getting this-publicity for nothing?
in fact we just love short stories
like this.
The Allensville church Is built of
native white flnt rock. The walls are
up. the top is on and the sub floor
is in, in fact it is being used now
as a place of worship.
The church building Is a monu
ment to the fine, spirit of Its con
gregation led by Rev. S. F. Nicks,
who, not at all dSunted by the de
pression, but possessed by the spirit
of a Nehimiah Of old, began work
on the building in January 1933
during the most disastrous winter
this generation has ever known.
Last year one of the donations
that helped make the church pos
sible was a gift of a ton of Orange
3-8-3 fertilizer by the Smith-Doug
las Co., through its agent T, B.
Davis, a member of the Allensville
Again ui
same donation was made by the
Smith-Douglas Company through T.
B. Davis, but this time strings were
attached to the gift. The fertiliser
was to be used by members of the
congregation to grow tobacco the
proceeds of which were to go to the
building fund of the church,
i Today the major portion of the
tobacco grown on that ton of
Orange fertilizer was sold at the
8tar Warehouse where T. B. Davis
Is connected. 1,477 pounds brought
$636.00.
| The balance of the tobacco oh
hand with what has been sold pre
viously will swell the total receipts to
around $800.00.
Members of the AUensvllle con
gregation participating were: Char
lie A. Gentry, Mrs. Ed. T. Gentry,
Thos. O. Gentry, B. G. Compton,
Mrs. Lonnie Slaughter and T. B.
Davis.
Through the efforts of T. B. Davis
' and B. K. Sanders, a tax exemption
card' was obtained for 1,500 poundd
which saves over $150-for the churfcft
L This is the best example of what
a small gift will do. Truly, the ways
of Providence are mysterious but
mighty.?Tobacco News.
