prised to know the varied things that
are made here and sold throughout
the country.
The secretary, S. R. Bivens, will
get out this folder at the earliest pos
sible moment and it can readily be
sen that it ought to be a wonderful
business ''getter' for High Point. The
! folders will be distributed by the man
ufacturers, business men, the chamber
| of commerce, and other organizations

think of the city only as a furnitur'
center. They have never been tolC

of furniture there is also $500, ,OOC

q facturer makes sixteen articles an
buys and sells, ,thirty-six articles in n
manner connected with textiles or fur

A Girl Baseball Pitcher

Much is being said in the newspa-
pers about the achievement the other
day of the pitcher on a New York city
high school girls baseball team; The
girls played a team NO OF 6oys hgs o. G:oraz [ne
son by name, did not yield single
hit and lead her team to great and
Some people may claim that the
boys were poor batters, or or that hey
tion has been made that the girl is
unusually pretty, and that the boys
kent their eyes on her instead of try
ing to keep it on the ball:
But we refuse to believe anything
of the kind. We are going to believe
that Anna is a phenomenal young
baseball pitcher, and we are also go
ing to hope that she will make a big
league team in time if she wants t
do so.

to establishment of a permanent mar
ket here for farmers Of the adjoining
county.

terested in the announcement by Mr..
| Cox that the road is to be hard-sur-
faced from the Davidson and Guilford
line to Thomasville making it possible
for residents of the Furniture City
to reach the Davidson metropolis more
quickly.
The link between Thomasville anc
Lexington was held abeyance because
of an act of the federal aid and ter
fact that there is now good road be-
tween the two Davidson towns.
Mr.. Cox said the commission au
thorized construction of concrete
bridge across the Yadkin river above
the railroad bridge, connecting Da
wilson and Cabarrus counties. Th'
