Mr. Pharoah Lee of near Four Oaks was in the city this week. He reported a tree which one of his neighbors cut from his farm. The tree contained over 3,000 feet of lumber and will net the owner more than $100.
From the front page of The Smithfield Herald, Friday morning, August 21, 1925. $100 in 1925 would be worth approximately $1,845 today, according to www.dollartimes.com.
