HIGH POINT EXPECTING A YEAR
OF PROSPERITY.

The banks of High Point ended th4
most successful year in history, de;
snite the apparent reaction as a rel
suit of loaning vast sums to Uncle:
Sam and heavy contributions to wa1
work. They begin the new year With
Increased resources, increased dRpo&s
it's and a most optimistic feeling
that 1919 will be- an even better year
than the one just closing.
This spirit of optimism is reflected
in all lines of business endeavor. Fur
niture men here are confidently Look
ing for an unusual demand for thaik
product during the coming twelve
month period and believe that it wila
keep them exceedingly busy trying to
meet the demand. They are also look
ing forward to the prospects of export
ing considerable goods during the
year as it is known there will be a
heavy demand for furniture from other
countries. Very few war contracts
were held by local concerns, so they
are not being bothered by cance1la-
tions.
The people of the city are looking
Forward to the possibility of a Carne-
gle library building being erected here
during the year, though no definite
step has been taken. Mr.. Carnegie has
provided the money, the city already
has the lot and rovided an additional
sum to be s. on the building and it
is more = al probable that work OF
constr'& Ion will be started during the
year
The work of paving the streets Isl
also in full blast and will be pushed
as rapidly as the weather permits un-
til all the principal streets have been
paved with asphalt.
High Point is also working to get a
new passenger station and it is boned'
to have this started during the year,
but little can be expected unless the
road goes back to private ownership.

THE "oVER THEzToP" JAUNT WAS
:. "SOME TRIP" SAYS THIS SOL
DER OF AMERICA.

Friends of Sergeant Chester Green
have received interesting letters from
him recently, and the following will
be read with unusual interest:
"On the second of October got
a promotion from corporal to SER
geant and on the third of October we
went in the line-they called it a line,
but it was just big hole in the
ground that you could hide in. While
in there Old Fritz would send his big
shell over at us and was covered UP
two or three times with them.
con the eighth of October we went
over and it was some trip, too, 1
must say. We had gone about 1900
yards when we were held up by ma
chine gun fire by the enemy. 1t took
us about half an hour to knock out
the post before we could advance any
further, and while I was helping
knock them out was shot in the arm
by one OF them but 1 went on through
the village with my company and we
captured about 100 Germans and. sew
eraI Frenchmen who had been prison
ers. Then came back to the aid sta
tion and they sent me to the hospital.
II could tell you lots more of the
times we have gone over the top, but
that was one battle | was in and it
was that way every day. have heard
ESQ machine guns firing at once and
have heard one of the largest barrages
the allies have ever put down. The
big guns were lined up, wheel to
wheel, for miles and miles and they all
fired for IL hours and that was some
h of fuss you can bet. The big
shells fell every two feet apart and
they didn't leave anything alive. And
have seen wire just as thick as it
could be for half mile sQuare-that
was at the Hindenburg line. The old
both division helped to break that and
put Jerry on the run and he hasn't
stopped yet"
