ton. The child raised up the on
farm, who has the fresh air of
the country to breathe, the con-
genial work of the farm to de-
velop his body, has, when the

the greatest opportunity for nor

The big land sale to be held on

mary and Roanoke Rapids is
different from any other sale
held in this section, in that small
farms and not country town lots
are offered to the people of this
community on terms so reason
able that almost any citizen can
become home owner. The land
is in the Roanoke Rapids Graded
School District, not over one
1aIf mile from the schools at

Thus, the person who buy one of
these five or ten acre farms has,
for practically the cost of a town
lot, not only a home but a valu-
aole piece Of property upon
which the energies of his chill
dren may be beautifully and pro-
employed, and has in ad-
diiion thereto the same church

would have were he in the heart
