CURLING FROM SALISBURY.
The Street Force Preparing to Maca
damize Blount Street.

1t will be- some two months before il
will be possible to get out good curbina
at the city rock quarry. for this reason
large quantities of the stone is being
shipped here from Rowan county. Nine
cents a foot is being paid for it and al
fast as it arrives here it is being put
in position on the streets.
The work at the quarry now is prepar
ing macadam for Blount and other
streets and it is being pushed rapidly.
Speaking of recent orders received IN
Rowan county from Raleigh, for curb
ing, the Salisbury SUMS correspondent
says:
''B. A. Fesperman and Company, of
Faith, have just closed contract to
furnish the city of Raleigh with curbing
for the streets of that place, and have
awarded the contract for one hundred
car loads of curbing. This means sew
eral thousand dollars for the communi-
ty of Faith. 1t is one of the largest,
if not the largest, order for curbina
ever received in this county.
''Messrs. Gardner and Fisher, OF
Faith, tell us they also have orders for
granite for Raleigh"
