We are advised that Danville merchants are anticipating the celebration of the opening of the new highway between Reidsville and Danville by placing advance orders for advertising matter relative to their business, for distribution on that day or date determined upon. It is hoped that this will be a big affair, which Reidsville people will respond by making proper display, decorations, etc. Everyone from Reidsville should have some booster of Reidsville on it. Start now – boost Reidsville.
It is announced from the office of the register of deeds that farmers this year will not be required to obtain special licenses to thresh wheat. Wade H. Gentry, register of deeds, recently received a letter from authorities in Raleigh bearing the information that this year the usual license would not have to be procured. Just what is the reason for the withdrawing of the requirement is not known here as no details were included in the letter. Each year scores of Rockingham farmers appear at the county court house for the necessary papers that permit them to thrash their season’s wheat crop.
Rotarian Abe Womack, Reidsville’s only delegate to the convention of International Rotary at St. Louis, returned to Reidsville yesterday. Mr. Womack was very much pleased with is trip and with the entertainment afforded by the Missouri metropolis. Mr. Womack left for St. Louis last week and remained there the whole time of the convention. Mr. Womack reports that the 12,000 delegates who were present were thoroughly delighted with the convention and with its actions. Paul Schenck of Greensboro was elected governor of the 38th district. Rotarian Womack says the wheat crops and corn crops are good, but the farmers are blue because they do not expect to get more than a dollar a bushel for wheat and meat is selling at 6 1/2 cents a pound and the farmers claim it costs more than that to raise it.
