DO Over New Coler Read to High
kock and Return Incidents
Some fifty citizens of High Point
and about the same number from
Thomasville accepted the hospitality
of the w. N. Coler & Co. through
Bird S. Coler, Sunday and spent a
most pleasant day along the line of
the Carolina & Yadkio River railroad.
Leaving the ElWood hotel at 8:15
aim. the party from here was car
RED on<the street car to the station
nearth Southern Power Co.'s plant,
where the train was waiting. Tha
fist stop was at Thomasville where
another car was attached to accom-
modate the 'Chair Town" people.
The road travels through a very in
tereSting country, near fine farms
and woodland and is destined to
awaken much energy hitherto vast
ed without the advantages of rail-
road. The town of Denton is in
.deed>a thrifty town for its age. Here
is located a very large lumber mill.
Seven miles further down the road
is, High Rock, the terminal of the
Carolina and Yadkin River railroad
and where a stop of an hour was
made. Here the Southbound road
is reached. The Yadkin river is
close by and the party after having
their picture "took' by Mr.. Nichols
of=the company, took stroll across
a long log to view the river, but
there were many who would not
venture on account of weak knees >
and it was thoughr best to walk a
half mile up the track to High. Rock
Ferry where beautiful view of the
majestic Yadkin could be had. After
lingering q few minutes and watch
ing the operations of the ferry, the
party returned to the car and the
start back to Healing Springs, three
miles up the road, was begun. Here
private -conveyances met the party
and took them over the mountains
and down into the valley where the
famous Healing Springs are. located
Here q most delightful three hours
was spent DiflnefW Was% served at
one O'Clock by j. L. Woodson, of
the Elwood, and fine spread it was, 1,
another proof that Mr.. Woodson is
on to his job. The hungry party
showed their appreciation by taking
everything in sight. There are two
big springs there, one of sulphur and
the other of iron and both burst
forth from the bowels of the earth
in cool and health-giving qualities.
One can drink to his hearts content,
grow fat and feel good; in fact the
Indians believed that here was ma
ture's cure for al. the ills of life. If
you want an appetite and health 90
