Returns From El Paso—Mrs.
Chilton Much Improved.
Clerk of the Court M. T. Chil
ton returned Thursday from El
Paso, Texas, where he accom
panied his wife two weeks ago

The many friends of Mrs. Chil
ton will learn with pleasure
that she has already been very
much benefitted by the fine
climate of that section. She
will probably remain there for
several months. Mr. Chilton
spent ten days with his wife in
El Paso and was very much
pleased with that country so far
as climate goes.
It was the intention of Mr.
and Mrs. Chilton when they left
here to go to Silver City, New
Mexico, which is about one
hundred miles beyond El
Paso, but they found after reach
ing the latter place that the
climate there was all that could
be desired and it was considered
unnecessary to go farther.

MR. LEWIS AT WORK
FOR INTERURBAN ROAD
Visits Winston and Holds Conference
With Mr. H. E. Fries-Advised To
Confer With Citizens of Stokes.
Mr. Geo. Lewis, of German
ton Route 1, visited Winston-
Salem last week and held a
conference with Pres. H. E.
Fries, of the Fries Manufactur
ing and Power Co., in regard to
the project for an interurban
electric line into Stokes. A re
cent issue of the Winston Sen
tinel has the following in regard
to Mr. Lewis' visit:
Mr. George Lewis, of Mead
ows township, Stokes county,
was in the city this week and
while here held a conference
with President H. E. Fries, of
the Fries Manufacturing and
Power Company, regarding a
proposition to build an electric
trolley line from Winston-Salem
via Germanton, Flat Shoal, Dan
bury and other ii 'ints north of
the center o* *!v; county.
Mr. Lewi.» was advised by Mr.
Fries to confer with the citizens
of Stokes interested in the move
ment, adding that he knew the
Board of Trade here would con
sider same, as he believed Win
ston-Salem was interested in
any movement looking to her
own and the advancement of the
best interest of adjoining coun
ties.
When seen this morning by a
Sentinel representative, Mr.
Fries stated that he was not in
position to say what there is in
the movement to build a line
from here to Stokes county.
He added that very few people
realized the expense attached to
such an undertaking. The pro
posed road would cost from
twenty to thirty thousand dol
lars per mile.
The subject of building an
interurban road into Stokes was
taken up with some northern
capitalists by Mr. Fries a few
years ago, but they were not
sufficiently interested to take
hold of the proposition at that
time.
Bill Fulk Captured.
Bill Fulk was captured near
W. P. Nelsbn's store, on Dan
bury Route 1, by Sheriff C. M.
Jones on Friday night of last
week and brought hA-e and

against Fulk is disposing of
mortgaged property and he will
be given a hearing in the matter
before a Justice of the Peace.
| A warrant was issued for
I Fulk more than a year since but
jhe evaded the officers and went
to Indiana and West Virginia and
only recently returned to this
county. The warrant against
Fulk was sworn out by Mr.
Jacob Falton, of Walnut Cove,
to whom Fulk was indebted for
goods furnished him some years
since.
Rev. T. W. Mansfield, of Bur
lington, N. C., spent a day or
two here visiting the past week
and preached at the M. E. church
Saturday night. Mr. Mansfield
has many friends in the county
who were glad to see him back,
he having served this circuit of
the M. E. church as pastor thir
teen years ago. He is no longer
a member of the M. E. church
conference and does not have
regular work, but travels a good
part of the time and preaches.
