Rowan county folks who are plan
ming to watch the eclipse of the sun
which will on August 31st,
are warned to get their smoked glas-
;es in proper shape, for its is danger
Gus to look at the sun without pro-
per protection for the eyes. The
moon will cast its shadow across the
waco of the sun, obscuring about two
thirds of it in North Carolina.
Chickens are expected to head for
the roost when the shadow begins to
hide the sun about 800 p. m, reach
ing the maximum darkness about As
minutes later. A sudden drop in the
temperature is expected in case the
afternoon is an eytremenly hot one,
and this will more than likely result
in a storm.
According to Robert H. Baker,
professor of astronomy, University
of Illinois, the eclipse of the SUI on
August 31st will be visible all
throughout the United States, Can
ada and Mexico. From all parts Of
North America the dark disk Of the
moon can be seen crossing in front
of the sun.
The total eclipse, he says, can be
viewed only along a strip of 100
in width, the track of the
moons shadow over the earth's sur
face. The track begins near the

manufactured and sold 5 IL tons
of ice daily.
1t was in 1880 that MI. Jones dis
posed of his grocery interests and or
gained and incorporated the Jones
Ice & Fuel company with w. A.
Brown and Dodd Brown as co-stock-
holders.
The Jones Ice & Fuel Company
has a daily capacity of II ON daily
and occupies a building on Soutl
Main Street of 40 by 10 feet in
dimensions.
In 1881 the annual business of the
Jones Ice & Fuel Company approx
mated $5O,000.00, while the payroI
approached $4,000, representing one
of the largest industries in Rowan
county.
Modern machinery and equipment
are used by the Jones Ice & Fuel com,
pany. The i%ce-making machinery i
built in units enabling the company
to operate according to its needs.
There are 400 block cans used. This
company has the most modern ice
tank in the state, where the AN are
set, water filtered, purified and froz-
en-.
In the summer months the ice
trucks of the Jones Ice & Fuel COM
pany make two trips daily in every
street in Salisbury and Spencer. This
company also does a large and ex-
tensive wholesale ice business.
Ice and coal are sold the year
round. In the winter months, all
grades of coal are put on the mar
ket, this company specializing in
high grade, quality coal. Last year
over SO car loads of coal and 10 car
loads of coke were marketed.
Under the management of Mr..
Jones, the Jones Ice & Fuel Company
during the hot and sultry summer
days, is offering a most commendable
service to the people of Salisbury and
surrounding community. And aside
from supplying the community with
a standard grade of ice, giving at all
times good and just weight and hav-
ing gained a reputation for honesty
of purpose and fair dealing with the
public, this company is Justly due
the favorable consideration of the
entire public. mo long waits nc
short weights" we are in business for
your comfort the year round, is the
business slogan. And that is the
principle upon which this enterpris-
ing business man has built up thi~
successful and thriving business.

fronted with quite such an i'm
possible card. Ohio State. Iowa,
Chicago, Michigan, Illinois and
Purdue are the Big Ten foes.
with Ohio University and MiSSis-
sippi State providing the non.
conference competition.
Coach Hayes starts the 1882
campaign with approximately 20
lettermen, in addition to dozen
or more fine prospects from the
freshman ranks. Indiana has no
less than IS trying for the team.
Bernard Dickey and FitZhugh
Lyons are the regular ends, both
of which looked good last year.
Edwin Anglemeier and Bill Rehm
are two tackles whom any coach
would welcome.
Handle Guard Posts
John Kekick and Bill Nylec are
back to handle the guard posi-.
tions, with Piggy" Spannuth also
on hand to add to his reputation
as a center.
A veteran backfield consisting
of Gene Opasik, quarterback;
Ivan Fuqua, Stan Saluski and
Otis Edmonds, halfbacks, and
Robert Jones. fullback, have the
inside track for regular positions
just now.
There's a squad which has the
weight, spirit and determination
to win.
