Much Building In Boonville During 1939 There has been more building going on in of Boon ville during-the past year than at any other similar period of time in a great many years. Four new houses have gone up in this pe riod, and two others are under construction at the present time. Those who have built homes dur ing the past year are Charlie Williams, G. N. Dobbins, Paul Spear and R. A. Jessup. Roy Reece has completed most of the outside work on a new dwelling on the Elkin highway, while J. J. Coram is just starting a five room structure on the Crutch field Road. There are several others that are contemplating building in the spring. Among these are Frank Woodhouse and Joe Fleming. R. M. Fletcher has also completed a new garage on the Woodhouse lot near the school building. Besides the building activity that has been evident in Boon ville during the past year, there have been several transfers of real estate. Harvey Gentry trad ed for and moved into the home that formerly belonged to Joe Fleming; Joe Fleming traded for lots belonging to Roy Reece and W. E. Frye, and plans to erect a dwelling on the lot between Mr. Frye's residence and Mock's Ser vice Station. Albert Martin also purchased a lot belonging to Mrs. Claudia Moxley, and may build on it sometime in the near future. Boonville is favorably located eight miles east of Elkin, and 30 miles from Winston-Salem. There are hard surface roads connect ing the town with towns in every direction. For several years there haven't been any empty houses in the town, and recently since the Chatham Manufacturing Com pany's contemplated removal of the finish .department to Elkin, there has been a greater demand for houses than ever. The near ness of Boonville to reiirin has helped greatly to increase this demand for living quarters here. It will not be surprising to see many new dwellings go up here within the next year. In February, the town of Boon ville will vote on the public water and sewer system. Should this vote carry, it will greatly increase the desirability of the town as a residential section.

Read Tribune Advertisements! PUSH SEARCH FOR TEACHER Drowning Victim at Key West May Be A. J. Par due of Roaring River LEFT FOR HOME DEC. 19 Hamlet, Jan. 24—The search for A. J. Pardue, Laurel Hill school teacher, who has been missing since he left December 19 for his home in Roaring River to spend the Christmas holidays with his family, turned south ward to Key West, Fla., when members of the Pardue family learned that the body of a man had been found in a pool there, bound hand and foot, and swollen almost beyond recognition. Pardue's plan when he left Laurel Hill was to stop over with friends in Greensboro for a few days and proceed!; to Roaring River. When he failed to show up at the home on Christmas Day, a search was made in the vicinity of Hamlet, Laurinburg, and Laurel Hill in an effort to secure some clue. However, these efforts produced nothing. The famii> still refused to give up hope and expressed the opinion that he possibly changed his plans and went elsewhere for his mid year vacation, and would return to his classes on January 1. He failed to do this and a brother, Eugene Pardue, instructor at the University of North Carolina, spent some time around Laurel Hill trying to get a line on the whereabouts of the missing man ! but could not find trace of him ;or his automobile, a 1937 Dodge I sedan. Hamlet police officials receiv ed a message from authorities at Key West last Thursday that Henry Hatch, former man who was working in Florida, had been found drowned in a pool there. However, it was later discovered that this was a case of mistaken [identity as Hatch was found to have enlisted in the army on January 7. Members of the Pardue family called at the Hatch residence and admitted that there was a striking resemblance around the forehead. They expressed fear that the drowned man found in' the Florida pool might be their son. Federal and State authorities were notified and are working on the case.
