OLD FORT NEWS MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Manager VOLUME IV OLD FORT, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1391 NUMBER 46 CHESLEY W. BUCHANAN *A Contractor of Note—A Man of Ability Along His Line Who Has Had Much to Do With the Progress of This Commu nity—A Man of Sincerity, Skill and Aptness in Construe tion Work. m■ 7' To be a successful contractor one must possess more than the mere matter-of-fact fancies of how to wield a hatchet and saw. Modern day construction requires men who are skillful, tactful, resourceful, have taste and are endowed with many other traits that will help not only in the erection of their work, but will at the same time save the builder and owner in material con struction and other costs. V This is the modern fundamental of building construction of today and C. W. Buchanan has kept apace with modern times, and during his thirty three years of constant devotion to his work he has established for him r y self a reputation that stands him as a leading figure in contracting and building in this section of North Car olina During this period Mr. Buch W anan has erected some of the most attractive school buildings in Mc Dowell county; has built many of the more substantial homes, includ ing the J. D. Blanton building, the beautiful home of attorney W. R. Chambers and that of A. L. Finley, and is today busily engaged in erec ting the handsome commercial build ing for J. A. Poteat, on Logan street, Marion, which, when finished, will be one of the buildings to which every home loving citizen can point with pride. Mr. Buchanan's first contract was the erection of a modest country home, situated in the rural sections of McDowell county. Today his work stands out as a criterion of his abili ty to do high-class construction wort ❖ T and as evidence of the fact that he is fully capable in every way of meet ing the demands of those who would | have the best and the latest in ar chitectural construction regardless of whether it is wood, brick, stone or cement. Chesley Wilburn Buchanan is a native of Bakersville, Mitchell coun . ty and came to McDowell county in 1894, and in 1898 he erected his first building; is a member of the Mason ic fraternity and is a Shriner; is a 'member of the Woodmen of the j World; married Miss Alice Glenn of | Mitchell county; adheres to the prin ciples of the Democratic party; is a member of the local Baptist church as is also Mrs. Buchanan; one son has been born to this union, Cari G., who is a civil engineer, and now en gaged with his father, but who for several years past has been engaged in and around Little Rock, Ai'kansas. i Carl G. Buchanan married Mis9 Alice ! Scroggins, of Little Rock, and their ' baby daughter is named Mary Alice. The present building on which Mr. Buchanan is now engaged is of brick, two stories high, 52x80 feet; is of red brick with a pressed brick frontage, steel girdled, and is a fair example of the magnificent work he i9 able to produce. Not only has Mr. Buchanan built many of the build ings and homes of note in and around Marion, but his talent has called him to South Carolina and other states where he has been originator and de signer of some of the best and most per-eminent structures both here and in other states.

On Wed nesday, August 5th, more than 200 former members and friends espec iall yinterested in this old church gathered at the present church building to celebrate its more than a hundred and twenty-five years of continued history since its first or ganization. They came from far and near. More than six counties of North Carolina were represented and the adjoining States of South Caro lina, Virginia and Tennessee. A full program had been arranged by a committee consisting of Mrs. Francis Bradsher, Miss Mary Green lee, and Mrs. T. L. Tate. The exer cises were in charge of Rev. M. E. Hansel, pastor of the church. After the devotionals, led by Rev. T. G. Tate of Gastonia, who is a ministe rial son of this church, a most valu ; able historical sketch was read by j Miss Mary Greenlee, giving the ear I ly records of the Presbyterian Syn I od and secular history. % It is hoped that this paper will later be ' pub lished in serial form. | The speakers "of the day included ! Rev. W. S. Wilson, D. D., of Linc ; olnton, N. C.,* who gave an inspira tional address upon the influence of Siloam church in both church and state. Other speakers indulging in reminiscences of early connections of the church were Dr. George Reid I of Forest City, Dr. D. M. Mcintosh, and H. I. Woodhouse of Concord. Beautiful solos were rendered by Miss Elizabeth Woodhouse of Con cord and Mrs. Ed. Suttlemire of Gastonia, and a violin solo by Miss Elizabeth Hansel. Dinner was served on the grounds at noon. It is hoped to make this an annual affair. DR. D. M. McINTOSH OPENS OFFICE IN MARION The news that Dr. D. M.

He served for several years as sec retary of the Tenth District Medical Society, and was unanimously elec ted last year as president of the Society.
