(Monday and Thursday) ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1935 (County Correspondents Solicited) NUMBER 73 SEVERAL CASES AGAINST PARKING VIOLATORS DISMISSED BY COURT n Motorists Found To Have Parked Between "No Park ing" Signs Held Liable To Fine. Others Dismissed By Magistrate's Court On Friday of last week many motor ists attending the Person County Pair, in session on the western edge of town all week, were arrested for violating that part of the State Statute which says that no vehicle may be parked on any section of the highway. Some of these cases were brought into court on Friday and each motorist was fined according to the limitations as set out in the law. However, when some others were brought into court on Wednesday Magistrate J. T. Newton discharged the cases wherein the motorist could sub stantially prove that his car had been parked beyond the bounds of "no parking" signs. Though these motor ists were held to be in violation of the law, the court was lenient in that the parking ordinance had not been en forced previous to Friday and people attending the fair had been accustom ed to parking along the shoulders of the highway at that point. However, those motorists who were found to have been parked within the "no parking" signs, such being placed along the highway in front of the State convict camp located across the exten sion of Leasburg Avenue from the Fair Grounds, were fined the costs of the court, judgment being suspend ed upon the payment of same. It is not known what disposition will be made of those cases in this matter that have not as yet come to trial. The court ruled that those motorists who were arrested for being parked .outside of the "no parking" were in violation of the law, but that since the law had not previously been en forced with reference to parking dur ing the fair, that the cases be dismissed. -? o Academy Street Dressing Up One of the prettiest residential streets in Roxboro is Academy street.

Pounds Of I Tobacco Sold on This Market In October i Again The Market Is Right At The Top In Averages, $22.25 For October The Roxboro market got off to a good start In October, the sales amounting to 1,584,787 pounds, which sold for an average of $22.25; and note this was not about, or close to, but were the official figures. We do not believe there is a market in this belt which can show a better average, and the farmers afe taking note of the fact and are bringing their tobacco here. The sales were blocked again on Monday, with good sales on Tuesday and Wednesday, and prices were very satisfactory. One pile sold for $100.00 per hundred, with many averaging up in the fifties, and it was not even ? out of the ordinary to see farmers ? who averaged better than forty dol lars. With an average of $22.25 for the entire month what is the use of ar guing, just bring it to Roxboro, where you know you will get the highest ; dollar for your tobacco. A CORRECTION T. C.
