Gastonia Gazette, Sept. 20: For the
past few days Main street has pre-
sented its usual fall appearance by
reason Of the large, number Of wagons
that have been coming in. The gins
are kept pretty busy and the cotton
buyers as we'll. UP to today 252 bales
had been sold on the local market. UP
till o'clock this afternoon sixty-two
bales were marketed and the receipts
for the remainder of the day promise
to be large. Yesterday was the BAN
ner day so far, the receipts amounting
to 113 bales. Cotton Weigher Maun-
ey is kept pretty busy all the time.
The best price today Is III, which Is
drop from 123 two or three days
ago. A rather unusual wedding
ceremony was performed by Rev. j.
A. Hoyle Tuesday night at 10 o'clock.
At that hour on Main street in front
Of Kennedy's Drug store he tied the
knot for Mr.. w. A. Horne and Miss
Mary Hawkins, both Of the Loray
The couple departed as gay and hap
DIV as If they had been married in a
church with hundreds Of witnesses to
the plighting Of their troth. 1t Is
with a feeling Of deep pleasure that
the Gazette chronicles in its news COL
umns today the fact that the entire
amount Of $4,000 for the erection and
equipment Of a first class hospital fol
Gastonia has been raised and that the
town has the assurance Of this insti-
tuition in the near future. 1t is also
gratifying to note further that the
amount was not only raised in fun
but was oversubscribed. The Gazette
has not doubted for moment that
the fund would ultimately be raised
and the hospital established. This
optimistic view of the situation on our
part was prompted primarily by our
implicit confidence that Gastonia
needed hospital and that there was
splendid field here for one. When
thing is badly needed-especially If II
be a public or a semi-public institu-
tion-it is bound to come sooner OF
later. The town Is to be congratula-
ted on this latest forward movement
and here's hoping that the hospital will
be completed and ready for business
before many months have elapsed...
The Atlantic Bituljthic Paving COM
pany, which has the contract to pave
Marin street, expects to begin work the
middle Of October and complete the
work by the middle Of November. De-
cember 1st is the time called for by the
contract for the completion Of this
work.
