THURSDAY, JULY 23RD, 193%^
Last year at this time several
people in this city and county
were making plans to havte a
cattle show. Later the cattle,,-,
show took place and it was one'
of the best ever to be held
this section of the state. Many
people attended and much good
was accomplished. The entire
affair took large amount of time
and was a large amount oi*.-
trouble to those who helped
get it up.
This year we have heard
nothing about the cattle show.
We had hoped that it was to
be an annual affair. If it could
be it would rnqan much to the
people here.
We are not trying to put this
large undertaking upon the
shoulders of some who do not
:■ have time to do it, but pferhaps
there are some who do have
time to render this service to
their county.
Those who did it last year
rendered valuable service—can
we get a leader for this year?
Paul Cashwell, manager for
thej Carolina Power and Light
Company, will be transferred
to another city in a few days.
Roxboro will miss this gentle
man as he has been of real
value to this city and county.
He was always willing to do
his part and was willing to get
out and work for any worth
while civic project.
Mr. Cashwell is loud in his
praise of Roxboro. He stated
that he had never lived in any
place that was more wide-awake
or had more business than Rox
boro had. Hq is a firm believer
in the future of Roxboro and
leaves here with many regrets
—Promotion is the only thing
that could take him away.
Much has been said here about
fast driving, but w<e would like
to say something about slow
driving on Main street of Rox
boro. Saturday afternoon and
night is when this is really bad.
If you happen to get behind a
driver who wants to see and
be seen as he, or she, goes up
main street it may easily re
quire ten minutes to go from
the Methodist church to the
Baptist church.
All of this does not mean for
people to speed in the business
district, but when traffic per
mits they can get over five
miles per hour.
Prospects for a good crop of
tobacco in this county look fair
at this time. The recent rain
that visited this county was
worth thousands of dollars.
A largq amount of the tobac
co here was planted late and
this had not suffered so much
from the dry spell. With a few
more good rains the tobacco
here will ba up to othqr years
and better than many.
The curing season will prob
ably last longer than it has in
many years as the tobacco will
not get ripe all at once.
Four houses are expected to
operate in Roxboro and every
thing points to a better season
than last year.

See the New Gasoline Economy
of the FORD VS— demonstrated
WE have painted up a “Scottie Car”
simply to demonstrate the increased
mileage of this new 1936 Ford V-8.
It is not a “special” Ford car. It is a
regular 1936 stock model Ford V-8 with
distinctive exterior decoration and a glass
gallon jug connected with a Zenith tester.
No adjustments have been made to make
it perform differently from any new stock
car. The jug is added so that you can see a
measured amount of gasoline used witK
your own eyes, instead of having it come
from the tank at the rear.
I Take a ride in a “Scottie Car.” See for
yourself that a Ford V-8 is just as economi
cal on gasoline as smaller, less powerful
