Cates furnished upon request News from our correspondents should reach this office not later than Tuesday noon to insure publication. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1936 Did you know that the Rox boro tobacco market averaged $20.26 for every hundred pounds ’ of tobacco that was sold here last year? Did you know that Roxboro was one of five mar kets in the Old Bright Belt to average $20.00 per hundred or | better? There are eighteen mar kets in this belt and the others fell under $20.00. Did you know that Roxboro always averages right at the top with all of the markets in this belt or any oth er belt? Did you know that last year Roxboro averaged more than five Virginia markets that are near this city? We have a number of figures r in front of us at this time that : definitely prove that the Rox boro market stood among the leaders last year and the year before. In spite of what people say about Roxboro it is one of the best markets in North Carolina or Virginia. Figures prove it and figures do not lie. ] If you care to see them drop down to this office. Roxboro sold 4,497,480 pounds | of tobacco last year. The year before it sold 2,832,708 pounds. This year the market expects to sell over 6,000,000 and ex pects to get an excellent av erage. James Harris, City Manager of Roxboro, has accomplished much for Roxboro during the past year. He has collected $83,865 and knocked $11,155 from expenses as compared with the year before. Other figures that might prove to be interesting may be found on the front page of to day’s paper. Jim has one secret for his success and that is work. He ! is on the job at all times and always trying to do something that will help Roxboro. He is a real collector and doesn’t mind cutting your water off if you are not paid up. To say too much about Jim and not mention the City Com ; missioners would not be right as they are backing him one hundred percent and doing a splendid piece of work. The members of Boy Scout Council of this County held their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday night of this week. . About twenty interested men were present for this meeting and plans were made for a good . winter’s work. Person County has one of the best scout organizations to be found in Cherokee Council. The boys are interested in their work and the men are inter ested in seeing to it that the work goes on. George Kanev chairman of this council, is one of the main reasons why this work goes on. For a number of years he has been at the head of the council and during that time there has nqver been any lack of inter est. Mr. Kane is a busy man, but he is finding time to do this splendid piece of work and do it well. He will probably con tinue to act as chairman for many years and it would al . most amount to disaster for him to give it up. We have no idea that he intends giving up the chairman’s seat as long as the people co-operate with him and we have an idea that they will always stick with him in this splendid work. More citizens of Roxboro and Person County are wanted to help in scout work. If you are interested why not attend the meetings of the council the third Tuesday night of each month* They are held in the office of Dr. A. F. Nichols and your pres ence would help. o LONG MEMORIAL METHODIST CHURCH Church School 9:45 a. m. Preaching 11 a. m. Epworth Leagues 6:45 p. m. Preaching 7:30 p. m.
