Cancelled Bonds.
Upon further search Of the files OF
The Enquirer for information about
the Three C's railroad bonds, we have
run upon a paragraph in the issue OF
April u, 1902 telling of the cancella-
ton of the bonds that had been held by
the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust
company for a period of ten years as
guarantee of the payment Of the inter-
est on the bonds still outstanding.
The Boston Safe Deposit and Trust
company held for this indemnity bonds
to the amount of s35,3OO. Of these Ca
tawba's part amounted to s15,0OO;
Yorks to $4,000; Cherokee's to $1,7OO;
and Ebenezer's to $3,600. According to
the statement published, the Boston
Safe Deposit and Trust company de-
manded Of the county board OF COM
missioners the sum of $500 for having
acted as custodian. The board refused
to pay that sum. Then the Boston
company offered to take $50. the
board refused and the Boston company
offered to surrender the bonds on the
promise of the board to pay the eX-
penses of a notary in connection with
the necessary proofs that the bonds had
been received and cancelled. This was
agreed to. The compromised bonds
were then cancelled and turned over
to the clerk of the court, who gave the
county board of commissioners his re-
ceipt for them. The receipt, copy OF
which appears in the minutes OF the
county board of commissioners, gives
the numbers and denominations OF all
the cancelled bonds.
Building In Brick.
Previous to the summer of 1903 not
a single brick building had peeh
erected in the town Of Sharon, not
withstanding the fact that the town
was more than twenty years old. All
the store buildings were frame,
shingle roof structures and most OF
them were constructed of inferior
material During 1909 the two first
brick buildings-the handsome nome
of the First National Bank OF Sharon
and the store building of Mr.. K. H.
G.. Caldwell were built Last fall
Kennedy Bros. and Hayes & Green
each erected brick store rooms ana
later Mr.. S. B. Pratt built brick
blacksmith shop and at present two
of the largest and most up-to- date store
buildings yet erected are being built
by Contractor Sam Mccall of Glover
for DR.. J. H. Saye and G. w. White
sides & Co, the former to be occupied
as a drug store by DR.. c. l.. Thomas
and the latter by its owners. 1t Is
the understanding that during the
present year Shannon & Hope expect
to build a commodious two-story brick
building on the lot formerly occupied
by the store building Of the Sharon
Supply Co. which they recently pur--
chased. While the matter has not
as yet been definitely decided. it Is
probable that the Hill Banking and
Mercantile Co. will also erect build
ing of sufficient capacity to accom-
modate it's extensive business and If
it does the new building will be
large one. Mr.. Hill says that a point
has been reached where something
must be done. The present quarters
are both inadequate and inconven-
venient. Not less than twenty dwell
