AMONG The CLOVERITES
The Holiday Spirit Is Beginning To
Develop.
STORES PREPARED FOR ALL DEMANDS

Street Improvement Now Assured
School Children to Have Two Weeks
Condition of the Sick-Dog that
Did not Know Good Thing-case of
Leslie Sanders.
Glover, Dec. 15-A step further to-
ward securing concrete street
through the business section Of Glover
was taken today when Mayor /. j..
Campbell announced that two thirds Of
the property owners along the route
affected had agreed to pay their pro-
portiohate cost of the work. 1t Is esti-
mated that the concrete street will cost
about 100000 and Of this amount the
Federal government will pay $4,000.
For some time past the project has
been held up because Of the fact that
some property owners have. been un-
willing to agree because of what they
considered the excessive cost Of the
road and it was only today that a
two thirds majority was secured
among the twenty mine property hold
ers along the right Of way. Unless
some slip-up now unforeseen occurs the
concrete highway will assuredly be
built, the town of Glover to pay one
fourth the cost, the property owners
along Main street one fourth and the
Federal government one half.
Addition Being Completed.
Al o,,ytl CfNif1
ming Mills upon which Contractor
Cooper and large force of hands have
been engaged in building for several
months past is rapidly nearing com
pletion and in fact will be completed
before the first Of the year. The addi-
ton will house at least 5000 spindles
which will be added to the equipment
of the mill.
Shortage of Women.
1--WE are in fine position so far as
help goes just now" said Superin-
tendent T. J. McNeely of the Glover
Cotton Manufacturing Company, with
the exception Of few women. We
could use few more women to ad-
vantage and for the first time in quite
a while we are in position where we
have shortage of female help. U.s.
ually it Is the men who are lacking II
there is any shortage. Return OF
Icolored women who baye been work.
irs in the homes as cooks and nurses
to the cotton fields has made it neces-
sary 70" the many women to stay away
from tneir work in the mills to look
after affairs at home"
Holiday Trade Picking Up.
Christmas trade in Clover has begun
to pick up and Glover merchants are
we'll pleased over the outlook and are
optimistic over the prospects OF doing
the best holiday business in their re-
spectiye histories. Incidentally they
are much relieved because of the fact
that the fuel regulations and closing
hours in connection with the admins
tration of fuel by the regional coal
committee have been abandoned All
the merchants had a good day last
Saturday which might be fairly said to
have opened the season for Christmas
buying and selling here. Never before
have Glover merchants carried such
large stocks of holiday goods and in
fact their offerings compare most
favorably with those in the stores OF
any other town in York county.
Mayor Lost His Dog.
That old expression Cooking like you
have lost your dog" came home rather
forcibly to Mayor Campbell the other
day. The mayor went on a squirrel
hunting expedition up around Morgan
ton, n. c., a few days ago and while
there his fancy fell upon half Airdale'
half flee dog which according to the
mayors notion was about the best
thing in the way of squirrel dog he
ever saw. In fact that dog would
never open his mouth until he had
treed and then he would sit down
under the tree and ! open up" The
mayor bought the dog and brought him
to Glover, taking good care to keep
him close until he should become more
thoroughly convinced of the joy or
living in Glover and freeing squirrels
in the vicinity. One Of the mayors
children inadvertently left a door open
Saturday and tie Airdale-fice made
dash for liberty and very likely toward
the town of Morganton. At any rate
the mayor hadn't heard anything from
him Saturday afternoon.
Two Weeks for Christmas.
Pupils of the Glover graded schools
will have two weeks holiday on account
of Christmas according to announce
ment of w. r. Koon last Saturday
Prof. KoOn said that the holidays
would commence next Saturday and
would continue for two weeks.
