timore, which is very high
authority. High Point is one of twenty
four places in the entire South which
did the greatest amount of building

to show that it is one of the coming towns
of the State. It is the highest point on

mills, sash, door and blind factories,
foundries, and machine shops, and as a
lumber market, High point is the best
in the State. The town has churches
of different denominations, excellent
schools, two good hotels and two Ma
tional banks, and it is the junction point
! of two railroads, namely, the main line
