LAYING OF CORNER STONE.
Wrenn Brothers Have Ceremony on
Saturday Last at Ten O’clock.
Siler City, August 17.—0 f unusual
, interest was the laving of the corner
stone in Wrenn Brothers new build
ing, the ceremony occurring at 10
o clock Saturday morning in the
presence of a large number of citi
zens.. ' _
Junius Wren, a junior member of
the firm, read a history of the busi
ness career of the firm, together with
their building activities, disclosing
j the fact that the business and various
! buildings had been in the possession
of the Wrenn family for more than
forty years. The metal box, which
was taken from the old corner stone
a few days ago, together with a new
box, containing various documents
of local interest were placed by Mr.
Wrenn, who then called on M. M.
Fox as a master Mason to make an
address and place a brick in the cor
ner. Mr. Fox very fittingly and with
I eloquent words paid tribute to mem
bers of the firm as men of high
Christian character and symbolized
his act with the lodge trowel, as oi.e
representing the spreading of the
j cement of love and brotherly affec
• tion, this most commendable spirit
! existing today to a more marked de
! gree among Siler City business men
i and women than is usually found in a
town of this size.
C. K. Wrenn, the only surviving
member of the original firm, which
was composed of three brothers,
James C., Robert F., and C. K.
Wrenn, spoke feelingly his apprecia
tion of the patronage and friendship
enjoyed by the firm during the years
of its existence and then called on
! Rev. O. I. Hinson, pastor of the First
Methodist church, who spoke of the
community’s appreciation of the ser
vice rendered by those who were be
ing honored and then dismissed the
i assemblage with a well worded
i prayer.

POLLY.
SEDAN BURNED LAST SUNDAY.
While returning from a trip to his
old home at Fayetteville last Sunday,
the Chevrolet sedan, belonging to ed
itor Colin G. Shaw was destroyed by
fire. .
A short circuit in some of the wir
ing evidently caused the fire which
was spontaneous and gave the oc- j
cupant of the car but short time to
get out and save himself.
A point near the home of Mr. Tom
Griffin had been reached, in Oakland j
township, and but for the valuable as- j
sistance rendered by him and his boys j
as well as others who reached the
scene at once, the destruction would
have been complete and the woods
would have burned off as the fire
had begun to scatter. As it was the
“spare tire” cushions and the two.
front casings were salvaged.
It was a dreadful experience and
one that will require sometime from
which to recover.
We greatly appreciate the many
words of sympathy that we have re
ceived and the generosity of all of
those who have helped us m recov
ering the parts of the car.
There is no little enemy. '
