Look at your old wag on and see if you don’t need a new one PRICES RIGHT CHAS. HOLEMAN &CO. Main St. Roxboro, N. C. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C. PROSPERITY We have heard much said about prosperity coming from around the comer for the past five years. A great many of us pessimists contend that it has not come from its hiding. If we would only take the timfe to look at the water consumption baro meter, the readings compared with five years ago would startle us. At the height of the depres sion, the City of Roxboro was using only 292,000 gallons of water per day compared with some over 900,000 gallons today. Surely prosperity has come from around the corner for Roxboro. When wte say Roxboro we mean Person County because Roxboro is a part of Person County. JIM HARRIS. The Roxboro Tobacco Market Opens Oct. sth Another tobacco season rolls around and finds Person County with a good crop of tobacco. The season also finds Roxboro all set to handle the sale of this crop. Good warehousemen are ready and good buyers will be on hand. You are cordially invited to consider the Roxboro market from every angle and sell here. Your county needs your support and can offer you the best. Why not try Roxboro first?

REPORTERS IN ITALY Rome Under Mussolini, who used to be a reporter, a newspaper man enjoys exceptional advantages. Every Christmas he gets an extra month’s salary; two days’ pay if he works Sunday; if discharged he re ceives six months’ pay plus an ex tra month’s salary for every year he has worked on that particular paper. Therefore, when an Ameri can news syndicate fired its Italian correspondent, he sued for $85,000; the jury awarded him $4,878. o- WAS HIS FACE RED? Ridgefield, Conn. When Fran cis J. Bassett, member of the local Democratic Town Committee, be came irked at a slow automobile in front of him, he shouted, “Get off the road.” As the offending car drew aside, he recognized the driv er, rushed over to apologize to Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
