CHESTERFIELD GOING
BEAUTIFULLY FORWARD

1t is noteworthy fact that while
business conditions are improving al.
over the country that Chesterfield ia
keeping step with the procession. All
our dry goods merchants report the
best trade this fall since 1919. Their
stores are constantly crowded with
shoppers asd the holiday season has
not as yet started. The high prices
of cotton have had a good effect all
along the line, cheering up even those
who are SO unfortunate as net to
nave nay cotton, while those who are
lucky enough to have the fleecy staple
are all smiles.
1t is a fact that one can hardly
hire carpenter in Chesterfield, for
all are busy and engaged ahead for
some time. Of late, even tho prices
of lumber are advancing, there has
started building boom, and quite
number of building projects are
contemplated for the near future.
Some of the work going on is the
new store building that the PEOPLES
Bank is having erected next to Square
Deal Drug Co., the handsome home of
Mr.. w. P. Odom in east Chesterfield.
Mr.'J. +. Brantley is having construct
ed new home on West End Avenue.
Mr.. j. S. McGregor is going to con-
struct a house on Craig st. And
all around town our citizens are hav-
ing bath rooms added to their homes,
preparatory to installing waterworks.
Messrs. L. w. Eddins and C. l.. Hunt
ley are planning the erection of cot
tages.
Mr.. l. Z. Mangum is going to erect
new home on West End Avenue
that will be an addition to that fast
growing suburb. Messrs. R. E. Riv-
ers and j. c. Rivers are contempla-
ting erecting block of four brick
store buildings on Main Street. There
is demand for these stores right

All the churches of Chesterfield
have building programs for 1923
The Baptists are going to erect an
elegant new church building that will
be an ornament to the town.
The Presbyterians have already
purchased lot on the corner op-
posite Mr. c. P. Mangums and will
erect har ison:c structure. The
Methodists are planning to construct.
adequate Sunday school rooms on. the ed
lot in the rear of their church. &C.,.
1t is foregone fact that Ches- :
terfield will erect next year High.
School building, as this is necessity.
With total enrolment of over 400
and Hi enrolment OF l25' it is
imperative that more rooms be con-
structed for our fast growing school.
1t Is contemplated to erect modern
High School Building at cost of
about $G5.CJo anG install heating
plant for both new and old building.
ihS iS oHe pIoJeCC InaC every one IN
Chesterfield will cooperate in, as we
all are unanimous in supporting the
cause of the education of the youth
of the country.
With the new $4,000 electric
light plant that is the equal of the
Yadkin River Power Co., in the bril-
liancy of its lights, with ample cur
rent for all size motors, and the
new $4,000 waterworks and sewer
age plant in operation, Chesterfield
is awakening and is just now begin
jng to take its place on the map.
New people are wanting to move
20 Chesterfield and the housing de-
mand is greater than the supply. 1t
is hoped that some of our citizens
many who are able-will erect cot
tages for rent in the near future.
Costs of construction are advancing
and buildings can be erected in the
near future cheaper than they can
later as all prices for 1923 will prob
ably be higher.
