apiece to the project. Practically
every realtor will subscribe a large
amount to the fund.
Realtors will be among the
heaviest payers to the city planning
projects, too, by reason of the spe-
cial assessments they will have to
pay On property they own in the
districts adjacent to the proposed
Improvements.
! The realty boards advertising
comittee, of which l. Shuler is
chairman, has decided to spend con-
siderable money to obtain adoption
of the planning boards proposals.
The following statement by
Ernest Sweet, owner of the Hamil-
ton apartment property at Twenty

attitude of realtors toward the plan

NEWS FROM HIGH POINT, RI. A.
MARY A. Clodfelter.l

While Mr.. and Mrs. John Hine and
family were gone to a funeral at
Wallburg last Monday, some one stole
their clothes from the line. I guess
some one was in need of clothes so
thought it good chance to get a sup
ply. call it a mean trick.
D. M. Wyers and H. Clinard were
disturbed Tuesday night by two men
who came in automobile from Win
ston and camped near their home.
They built a fire by the roadside and
cursed ard used such vile language as
to arouse the people I think it a
shame the way some people do.
Walter >C1odfelteT, whoE lives near
here, got hurt very badly while work
ing at a sawmill. He was fixing
something about the saw when some
one started the saw running, not
knowing he was there. He was cut
about the thigh. They carried him to
the hospital, and the doctors think he
will get along nicely. He had a mar
row escape. 20.
Henry Reid, Ri. 5, Winston, had a
very narrow escape last week when
tie saw from a woodsaw flew off and
struck him in the forehead, cutting
through his face and chest. He was
thought to be dead wien found, but
was carried to the hospital and is
doing very well. ~
D. M. Wyer killed. three hogs that
weighed something overw1, 900 pounds.
r. NJ. Clodfelter killed two hogs that
weighed 740 pounds, more to kill lat
er. L. F. Clodfelter killed hog that
weighed 400. More larger ones to
Kill yet.
LITTLE NOAH FRANK.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Mont
singer, residing near Wallburg, died
Sunday morning at a sanatorium in
Winston. A few days before he was
taken i'll with violent headache
from which he was never relieved. DR.
Zimmerman was called but failed to
relieve him. DR.. Peacock of Thorn
asville was called and he thought
! best to carry him to a hospital. DR.
Torrance pronounced it hemorrhage
of the brain. A recent fall is sup
posed to have caused it. The boy haC
| been lame for some time and his par
ents did all they could for him. Goo
knows best, so He took@little NOAH
Frank to live with him free from
worldly cares and troubles. He was
naturally the pet of the family. Sur
viving are father and mother, one
brother and sister, several uncles anc
aunts, one grandfather and one grand
mother and many cousins. The re
mains were laid to rest in the famil!
plot at Wallburg cemetery. Rev
Carrick of High Point conducted thu
funeral services in the presence of ;
large number of friends and relatives
The floral offerings were very pretty
