PRESENTING OUR AGRICULTURAL EDITION
In presenting today’s “Agricultural Edition” it is with the hope
-that those who obtain their living from the soil may be able to ob
tain a better living after reading the articles in this paper.
It is not a large edition and
-was not intended to be large.
However, it does contain informa
tion that should be helpful to all
and it is the hope of the publish
er* that many farmers will profit
Drom this paper.
Your attention is respectfully
called to the advertisements in
this edition. All contain a word or
message concerning quality mer_
-ehandise and it is with pleasure
and pride that we bring these
messages to the attention of the
public.
Every farmer in this county is
aiow faced with the problem of
making a start for 1939. They all
want to make a decent living this
arear and no one deserves it more
-than the farmers of this nation.
The years of the past have not
W» kind to those who get their
Hving from the earth, but each
pear seems to bring them a little
closer to their goal. They may
not make as much money one year
aa they did the year before or
they may make more but sooner
or later the farmer and his pro
ducts will be recognized for their
true worth and that is plenty.
IMPORTANT MEETING
The political pot has started
boiling in Roxboro. On April 13th.
-a mass meeting will be held in the
courthouse for the purpose of
naming a nominee for the may
or’s post and also five nominees
for the positions of city commis
sioners. This mass meeting is im
prtant and each citizen of this
city should consider it his or her
duty to be present at the mass
meeting.
Roxboro needs a good mayor
and Roxboro needs five good
commissioners. We have had good
men in these positions and
Tfe should continue this prac
tice. The duty of filling
these offices rests in the hands
of the people of Roxboro. It’s just
a plain case of voting for the
men that you think are better
qualified to hold office. Let’s de
cide now to do that.
WHERE’S THE POINT?
Representative Charles A. HaL
leek (R.-Ind.) declared Tuesday
voters of the south “could do no
worse, an might do far better, if
they let a party which no longer
ia their party but has been stolen
by Socialists, the communicrats,
the visionaries and worse.”
He told the Republican club of
Virginia that the south could
bring “new hope, new life and
new prosperity” to the nation if
theTe were a national adminis
tration which thought of the
southern states not as an econo
mic problem but as an economic
opportunity.”
Deploring the expenditures sin
ce the inauguration of President
Roosevelt, the Indiana Republi
can declared “that no family,
state or nation can possibly spend
its way onto permanent recovery
bee ben clearly pointed out by
many experts, including the able
snaftoni tym VirgWa—Carter
films and Harry P. Byrd."
Ibis paper has no issue to take
wKh the Republican Representa
tive as we can not see where he
made one single point It looks
Eke ail parties think at the south
m beta* • plaee where much food
Wiafc eeuld be done, but s plies
where not so much has been
done except by those who live
here.
It may be. true that no nation
can spend its way to prosperity,
neither can it starve its way.
