Program.
Practically every detail for the cel

committee.
One of the most important of these
was the securing of a band that could ,

congratulated on the fact that he has
contracted with the Elk band of High
Point which consists of 20 pieces. The
players will be in uniform and Siler

gold in each class for the most perfect
baby. The baby, and not its clothes,

that all babies of these ages be enter

The Tysor Dam.
Work on the cement dam at the old
Tysor mill site on Rocky river is pro
gressing nicely. About 30 men are
employed there and it is thought that
the dam will be completed in about
two months, probably longer. The
dam is to be 25 feet high.
We understand tha tanother dam is
to be built across Bear Creek within
100 yards of the Tysor mill, and that
a canal is to be cut from the Rocky
river dam thereby turning the water
into Bear Creek which would give the
owners plenty of water from these two
sources.
The juice, to be obtained from this
plant, is to furnish electricity for pow
er and light for a cotton mill which
is to be erected at Goldston the com
ing winter and also furnish lights for
that thriving little town and other
nearby towns.
Verily the streams of Chatham are
being harnessed to help do the work
that is so much needed.
Something New Here.
Messrs. Farrell and Farrell will op
en up their meat market this week.
These gentlemen have been to consid
erable expense is putting in a cooling
plant, which keeps meat, soft drinks,
and other things ice cold without us
ing a pound of ice.
The citizens of Pittsboro will no
longer have to purchase meats that
have been exposed to the dust and not
only that they will be able to procure
fresh meat every day. Heretofore
those who have been dealing in this
article kept it on sale only on Satur
days during the summer and some
times the housewives were put to
much trouble in getting fresh meats
for their table.
This new market will be dust and
fly proof and the Messrs. Farrell de
serve much credit for putting in such
a plant as they have in Pittsboro.

things concerning our Sunday school.
It is progressing exceedingly well

it far superior to what it has been be
fore. We must not let our visitors
say “Buckhom Sunday school is
dead.” The only way to keep it alive
is for the young and old to attend.

circumstances.
FIGHT PROMISED FRIDAY.
Pittsboro’s Hard Surface Road Having
a Battle.
Warring delegates appearing before
the State Highway Commission at its
session Friday, one. faction lined up
behind the Capital to Capital highway
; and the other armed with forensic bat
teries on behalf of a new route that
will leave the capital of North Caro
lina off the map and make Durham
the converging point of the road will
probably consume a good portion of
the first day of the session.
Agitation for bringing the Nation
al highway from Richmond to Colum
bia down through Oxford, Durham,
and dividing it there with one road go
ing out byway of Chapel Hill, Pitts
boro and Sanford, and the other'fol
lowing the Central Highway westward
to Greensboro and Charlotte has been
in process for some months past, and
will come to head this week.
Both roads are on the map. The
qdtestion that will be threshed out
will be whether the Durham-Oxford
route shall be immediately hard-sur
faced or whether the Henderson-Ra
leigh-Sanford route shall be sanction
ed as the official route between the
north and south, and which marked
out to be followed by the ever rising
tide of tourists.
We predict that the hard-surfaced
road will be laid through Pittsboro
