ASHEBORO STREETS
r- T0 BE ASPHALTED
i' - -
Work will begin br the 1st of Nov
ember, asphalting , the streets of the
city, by the Adams Evans Co., of New
York. City. This company has been for
the past few weeks asphalting the
streets of Thomasville, N. C. and they
have the streets of Thomasville near
onmnletion. and will just as soon as
they finish the work there, they wilTJnight at T. o'clock; when her daughter,
move to Asneooro, ana ., commemnce j
work at once. They probably will reacn'
Asheboro before November 1, put not
later than that tune. ,
The writer is sure that every one in
the city is looking; forward to the time,
when the streets will be black on the
top, and the dust and. 'mud will be a
thing of the past-; 'A?'''- v-
It is gratifying; to the people v of
Asheboro and Randolph County as a
whole, to see that the. town of Ashe
boro is progressing so rapidly; We not
only have let a contract forasphalting
all the principal streets of the town,
hut have actually built, or have in the
corse of construction nine ' different
handsome residences. Quite a num-
ber of residences -" are ' to - be built
within the near future. The town is
planning to increase, the electric plant
so that they can not only furnish cur
rent for eluminary purposes, but for.
motorpower as welL? Plans are p being
perfected at present to organize and
establish in Asheboro another hosiery
mill.
The old Courier office has been sold
and moved, and a modern two- story
brick building will be erected, in the
near future.
We are exceedingly glad 'to obeserve
these different signs of progress, and
candidly believe that within the next
live or six years, the population of
Asheboro will double, what it is at
present.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
IN ANNUAL REUNION
t . i. . v-v
PEOPLE OF ATLANTA CHEER
AND WEEP AS THE MEN IN
, GRAY MARCH THROUGH THE
CITY.
Remains of Lee's Immortal Army,
Eight Thousand Strong Parade
Some in Civilian Clothes and Some
in Uniforms
The Confederate veterans reunion of
1919, which was held in Atlanta, Ga.,
came to a close Friday night, Oct. 10,
with a grand ball at the auditorium
armory, but the principal features of
the occasion was the old soldiers parad
ing the streets, in their annual parade.
ihe remnant of Lee s armies that
marched Friday,, was little more than
;,000 strong, some in uniform of the
old Confederate gray, and others in
civillian clothes. The streets, gaily
decorated for.the occasion, were lit
eraly crowded with spectators who
cheered and wept and laughed as tne
heroes of the sixties passed many of
them for the last time.
Boy scouts carried water for the old
soldiers and the Red Cross ambulances
followed in the wake of the various
divisions, but few of those -who started
out to march would accept a ride eveni
though overcome. Here and there vet
erans dropped out of line and rested
on the curb; then joined the next divi
sion that came along
lhe parade took nearly two hours
to pass the reViewing stand, the old
soldiers themselves being almost out
numbered by their escorts of honor,
and members of bands that accompa
nied them. The bands and the machine
gun battalion of the Fifth division of
regulars, stationed at Camp Gordon,
was one of the escorts. Local military
schools. sent their cadets and various
civic and fraternal organizations also
were in tne line. 'There were also a
few representatives of Confederate
navy, headed by Admiral Wright, of
Jacksonville, Fla.
General K. M. Van Sandt, command
er-in-chief of the veterans, headed the
parade, accompanied by Brigadier
Oteneral Lewis, commandant at Camp
Gordon. As a token of esteem for the
veterans the regulars on suggestion of
their officers, saluted the Confederate
flags, especially the score or more of
bullet torn battle flags that were
brought forth again and carried at the
head ox- companies. . ; .
Gaily decorated automobiles bear
ing maids and sponsors from each of
the former Coniederate states, and
from others where the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy were repre
sented, added a touch of color and
life to the occasion. California was
represented as was West Virginia,
Colorado and others. The cars flew
tne stars and stripes and the stars
and bars together and many veterans
carried both flags. Flags of the allied
nations were also represented. One
company of veterans was headed by a
color bearer holding up a frame from
which floated small banners typifying
every nation that went to war. witn
the central powers. ' '
At the head of the Gate City Guard
of Atlanta, marched two young girls
dressed in the hoop skirts, and panta
lettes of the antebellum days.
Two contingents of veterans, "com
pany A," from Memphis, and a Nash
ville company, were fully equipped,
carrying their rifles, with the old time
bayonets fixed.
The scene was not entirely military,
for the yeterans yielded to the spirit
of the day ' and shouted and ' threw
kisses at pretty girls. Others stopped
to dance jigs to show that they were
not as old as they might seem Every
one among them seemed to be having
the most enjoyable time of his life.
