much-wounded British soldier. here
as q Chautauqua attraction, held
them spellbound with q graphic de-
scriptiOn OF the helllshness of the
war as Germany has made Il. Never

Picnics and fishing parties formed
the attraction for many residents,
while great number attended the
exercises at Guilford battle-ground
July 4th. The banks were closed
throughout the day, as were the
freight stations, stores and many
manufacturing plants. There was
no delivery of mail from the post
office and the general delivery win
dow remained closed throughout the
day.
A suggestion for the proper OBJ
servance of the Fourth of July was
forthcoming from Mayor William P.
Raean. the idea appearing before all
plans to spend the holiday had been
made. The idea of the mayor was
to have every person write letter
to soldier, regardless of whether
the man was ia service in this coun-
try or abroad. The suggestion was
approved by many citizens and High
Point soldiers will have some mail
coming to them from today on that
they would not have received but
for the suggestion of the executive.
