"Bear" Chase Near Piney Grove


Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Black Ankle (Falrmont, R. u, Jan.
5-Early in the afternoon Wednes-
day, Jan. 3, bear was reported to
be in The swamp near Piney Grove
school house. The bear was discov-
cred by Mr.. c. E. Miller, who was
hunting. Chase took place early
Thursday morning. The chase was
composed Of several men and dogs.
After a long hunt to about 10 a. M.
the dogs bayed the bear and the men
Were afraid to 60 in the swamp to
help out the dogs with the bear.
Just then Mr.. Jud Hunt came along
without fear and went and viewed
the bear, which was a neighbours hog
which had been left home ever since
fall and had just been discovered by
son Of Mr.. Ellis Miller. After Mr..
Jud Hunt came out from the dogs
in the swamp the chasers went in
and captured the "bear" and brought
him out to the public road and tied
his two rear legs to a stump and the
two front legs to tree where the
public could see the harmless bear.

Bad Habits

Those who breakfast at eight o.
clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to
digest before taking another. Not
less than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach ard enable It to perform
its functions naturally. Obtainable

1917 TOBACCO OUTLOOK

Prospects Bright for Good Prices
Seed and Preparing Plantbeds-One
Of the Most Essential Things is to
Have Plenty Of Strong Plants
Grown Early and Transplanted
Early
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
As the time has come when the to-
ba.co growers Of Robson and adj
io;!2:rg counties are no doubt making
preparations for raising plants for
t23ai- 1917 crop, we wish to state that
We promised a great many of our
friends ard customers tobacco seed
IN case they wished to change the
variety Of tobacco they now have, and
as we are already mailing some seed,
if there are others who desire 60
change, # they will write US the
amount and kir.l of seed desired, we
will order them and have them sent
20 them direct from the Slate Seed
Farm at South Boston, Va. How
ever, We suggest that the homegrown
seed Of good varieties, adapted to
Rabescn county soil, are as good as
any, and, too, when they are sown,
there is no danger of sowing bad or
mixed seed.
In preparing plantbeds and sowing
The different varieties Of seed, we
offer no suggestions, as each farm
err knows the kind of tobacco best
adapted to his land; but as so many
lima belt fail to use the proper pre-
caution to protect their plants from
the cold snaps and freezes, we do

is selling high, that they use more
nrecaution to protect their plants
from these freezes by using some kind
of covering for them until the dan
ger period has passed. Most farmers
realize that one Of the most essen
tial things in raising good crop Of
tobacco is to have plenty Of strong
plants grown earl and transplanted
early.
All present indications are that
prices will be high for the 1917 crop
Of tobacco. We think all who make
good crops Of tobacco this year will be
we'll paid for their work. After having
had Is years of experience in the to-
bacco business in your section and
watching closely the results of each
year, we are convinced that best re-
suits cannot be obtained in making
good tobacco unless the farmers use
q reasonable quantity of good high
grade fertilizer in connection with
green cotton seed or cotton seed
meal, etc.
We opened our tobacco market at
Gretna, Va, September IA, and since
that time prices have continued to ad-
vance on all grades of tobacco down
to the present time. Our sales have
been heavy. considering the short
crop throughout the old belt district
| Of Virginia and North Carolina Our
sales up to the present time have av-
eraged over 81 cents, including scrap
and everything sold on our floor.
AS to what effect the European
var will have on the 1917 prices of
tboacco and cotton whether it closes
or whether it continues), no doubt
you and the farmers Of your section
are as good or better prophets than
we are, but we all know that prices
are good now on both crops, and
whether the war continues or whether
it closes, we are, as above stated, con-
WINGED that prices will be good fol
the next crop Of tobacco; yet we
