The object of these meetings is to assist the farmers in selecting the best seed corn in order that they may secure the largest pos sible yield. The following letter relative to the seed corn meetings has been sent out bv Mr. R. L. Schoolfield, local agent for the Farmer's Co operatie Demonstration Work: Dear Sir: TIk- com crop is one of the most important in this sec tion of the state. The average yield per acre for a number o years has been very low. As a result, farmers have bought large quantities of corn, paying about a dollar per bushel for it, when, as has been shown by the Farm ers' Co-operative Demonstration Work, they can easily grow all they need at a cost of about twenty-five cents per bushel, if they will use the best methods and plant the best seed. In order to assist farmers in these matters we are going to have a seed corn meeting at High Point on February if We will spend the day studying corn and discussing things pertaining to corn growing. We invite you to come and bring from twenty five to one hundred ears of your best corn. Please invite your neighbors and urge the M farmer ioys in your comrhunity to come and bring corn. Teachers of ag riculture, seed j growers and members of the Boys' Corn Club , movement will be interested in the meetnig. AFTER THE F IERCEST THE FAIR AND FURNITURE SHOW.

The negro caught 111 a swamp in Greeno county this afternoon and report ed to be Lewis West, the slayer of Deputy Sheriff Mumford here Friday, proved upon examination to be Adrain Williams. Lewis West is still at large. The city was thrown into a frenzy this af ternoon by a telephone message to Sheriff Sharpe, stating that the negro who has been chased in dreene county for two days on the belief that he was Lewis W est had been run down and captured about two miles from llookerton, in that county. The capture came at 2.30, twelve hours after the bloodhounds from Tarboro were put on the trial. The negro was uninjured and not armed when arrested. One of the Same Gang. The captured negro was brought to Wilson at 8 o'clock tonight on a special train and rushed to the county jail. Al though he is not Lewis West, the leader of the desperadoes, he is probably one of the gang. lie gave the name Adrain Williams and admits knowing some of the W est gang. He said his home was in Salisbury, but could not give the names of any prominent men of that place. He claims to have been going to visit at the home of his cousin in Greene county, but this statement is not substantiated. He admits that he is the man shot at yesterday by Mr. I fatten and who has been chased ever since. He says he lately worked at Kinston. KEEP WORK HERE. While this paper is advocating trading at home, we desire to say a word personal here, and that is, patronize the some half dozen offices here and keeping your printing home. This office is fitted with an equipment and jpvuu si:q i.-)ii.w u.uif jo.vv poj tjs its work compare in low price and excel in quality of workman ship, our competititors in Grand Rapids and other points who have bid for the work. And our catalog work nine out of ten is better executed than those of the engraving and embossing plants that have run up against us. In this way, -making the equipment the best we have held our own in ten years conipetiton, except in isloated cases where the house gave the factory a job to "get in" on the trade. We can not deal with this class of homo geno, no more than we can the fellow who never buys any thing at home, because he cannot get a graft at home, and the other fellow who thinks nothing at home is good enough for him. We pass them up, and liberally because we are not giving nor grafting. On the other hand, we appreciate the large patronage which we hope to continue to merit, by the qual ity of the work we turn out, and the low cost of, production. We believe that where everything else is equal, the work should be kept at home. GUILFORD MAY VOTE ON BOND ISSUE FOR GOOD ROADS. Greensboro, F"eb. 8.
