a MCond-etAM Better Febra ), at the peat olBce of Tan C., nnder the Act of Marat THE MAN WHO PAID HIS DEBTS "Liquidate your debts with money in hand so your credit wit! be good in the future, is the on!y safe and sane policy to follow gg said of the leading merchants of Danville the other day. ' "Last year a negro living in Stokesland, who already owed me about $t6o.oo, came to me and *' said he would like to get some more fertilizer to the amount of about $too.oo, which would run his account up to about $250.00 Of $260.00", continued the mer chant. "I remembered," said he, "that the negro had a good record for paying his debts back of him, and on the strength of MSs past record I let him have the one hundred dollars worth of fertilizer, in the face of the fact that he already owed me $!6o.oo, which.he hadn't been able to pay-" "The sequel to the story," con tinued Mr.... "is that this colored man came up this year after selling some tobacco and paid every cent of his debt I trusted him because he had a good record for paying his debts in past years." REGRET AND GRATIFICA TION The Messenger would voice the regret of this county over the re moval of Rev. J. W. Tabron from this county. He is a sensible, level headed, devout man, who. as pastor of the Colored Meth odist churches about Yanceyville has rendered splendid service to his Master and to humanity. Both white people and colored alike regret very much that we can not have the benefit of his services longer. At the same time we are grati fied that Rev. G. F. Madkins, pastor of the Milton circuit of the A. M E. Church, is to remain with us another year. He has done fine work atpong his people, and they are glad he has been returned to them. And by his courteous demeanor and the dis play of a kindly spirit he has com mended himself to the white peo ple, who have learned that he cultivates good feelings between the races instead of stirring up strife. The Messenger thinks it voices the sentiment of the county when it says we welcome the re turn of this good man.

PATRONIZE THE ADVER TISERS IF YOU PLEASE The numerous traders of The Messenger, both in and out of Caswell, are respectfully request ed, not to say urged, to make their purchases of merchandise from the merchants who carry advertisements in The Messenger. Bv reading the advertisements and telling the merchants that you saw their ads. in The Mes senger the readers witi be sup porting the paper in the most effective way, and wiH !et the said merchants know that it ready pays to advertise in Caswell's home paper. The Messenger wishes to say again that it greatly appreciates the generous patronage of the advertisers and the loyal support of the constantly growing list of subscribers. And we would wave our band in cordial greeting to those few far-off subscribers in distant states, and say "Howdy" to Mr. Harrison in Cuba. To the Editor: [f yon will accept the compli ment, f will say that you seem to have an uncanny way of find ing news and personal interest items, where most of us would overlook them, and that, 1 think, is one of the main features that has caused The Messenger to grow as it has. One never knows what he might find in it, and that certainly keeps up the interest. A-Subscriber. T look forward to getting t he Messenger most as much as 1 do a letter from a friend. I always note with interest the improve ments in Caswell. Tam so glad )fou now have such a nice; in teresting paper. Lula Thacker..
