Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1938-07-23

on, and under the back seat. By up
town for last-minute bit of shopping
and off we go.
We leave Oxford at 113O 1--WE had
planned to be off by tenn, detour by
Stem reach the highway at Hester,
(speedometer 26492) passed by that
Presbyterian church in Durham
where ten years ago I saw on the
church bulletin board on the lawn
written. d At
Gods in His Heaven,
Ais right with the world"
On by West Trinity Avenue, and
stopped by Cousin Ethel Breedlove's.
There were Cousin Edna Crews,
Bess and Mildred. We did not tarry
as they were at lunch and we wanted
to be on our way.
Out on the Greensboro highway by
ITO, as we entered Hillsboro we were
were stared at right in the face by
the sign, WELCOME, Lions" I thought
right straight about Red" Taylor
and all those other Lions back in
Henderson,
We stopped by the Progressive
Stores at Hillsboro to spoke to Yves
ley Roberts, manager of that store
He was married about a month ago
to Miss Dora Young who worked at
Duke University Library with my
sister NFNE
He was glad to see us, so We took
our fried chicken and tomato sand
witches inside the store and ate our
lunch, adding some nice cold choco
late milk from his ice-box.
Across the street was the shop OF
The News, Hillsboro's newspaper. I
ran across and snapped Mr.. Thomp
son copy of the Dispatch for ditto of
his News, it is nice little weekly
and full of local bits of news and per-
sonals. e.sIaly&
We left Hillsboro, meeting car num-
Der 1O7-572 from Maine, which licensa
plate also said VACATION LAND.
Right up on the main street of Eff
land we he'd a fifteen minute traffic
wait as the highway was temporarily
a one-way thoroughfare. One half
of the road was being re-made for a
distance of several miles A long
freight train passed with So cars, in
Guiding the caboose.
Haw River next, and then on to
Burlington, which city we had to de-
tour to the left lalso on hard sur
face) as main highway was 40 under
construction" as the sign said. But
that did not last but few miles be-
for we landed right back on 70.
We saw a beautiful star-shappAd
fish pool on someone's lawn.
Greensboro city limits at $3.50, 3d.
900 and some odd inhabitants Be
yond the city limits we saw the beau
tiful Home Office building of the
Pilot Life Insurance Company from a
distance we saw the Guilford County
Sanatorium.
High Point at 4:15. We took truck
lane 20, and did not see the city pro-
per. This reminded me of our I. o. o.
F. State convention to be held there
next May. 1 do hope to live to at
tend, as I hold one of the very small
est appointive offices of same. Some
thing like what you might call left
| sentinel to the outside guardian.
Thomasville at 40 and on to Lex
ington, city of nearly 10000 souls
Beyond there we saw two brown
bears and one black one, grown bears
chained at a filling station. Hope
| they do not have the same bad luck
as did Roger Lanier's bear But il
they break loose they may expect the
same treatment.
Spencer 5000, and then Salisbury
the home of Clyde Gooch, school
mate of your Old Nose. What times
CLYDE used to have debating in the
Carteret Literary society at the Ok
ford high school years ago. But he
used that arguefying experience to
qood advantage, as he has been a
