Kit Jarrell waa a alias Brookshire, of Eaadolph county, be fore her amrriagev . la a recent iatervVw with a High Paint reporter. Mra. Jarrell gave some interesting facta about tba early history of High Point She attended tha old Joneavtlle academy sear 1 kia for twa yeari and waa married Just before tha war between the States. v . . la 1862, Mra, Jamil's husband bought tha inn which later became tha famous Jarrell House, a combin ation of resort and commercial hotel. It stood Just across from the pres ent station where the Wright store is now and extended below where the Allen department store now stands. th hiiAest w TK ttin wWh itt " nigneei type. -, www tau saww wvsa in the old days than it does new was burned by the Yankees about the end oi the war. The following is from tha Hirh Point Enterprise: i "The hotel in those days almost made up the business section of the town, for under the same roof were the hotel, the postoffice and the one Urge store, which was also oper ated by Mr. Jarrell. Mr. Jarrell shortly after buying the inn remod eled and greatly enlarged it, so that ' it was one of the largest hotels in 1 this section of the state, and cer-1 tainly no other hotel of that day had more interesting visitors. j "Governor Worth, Governor Vance, many United States and state sen- i ators and other notables in North Carolina were frequent visitors to the Jarrell house, making it con venient to stop over there on their travels through the state. Mrs. Jar rell has photographs of the Siamese twins, who were visitors at the hotel, accompanied each by a son. She has pictures too of Tom Thumb and his wife, the famous midgets of that time, who also were guests at the Jarrell house, and who traveled about the state in exhibitions. "At that time High Point and the surrounding section were the fore most educational center of the state, having as institutions of learning Guilford College, Trinity College, Salem academy, Jamestown acade my and High Point academy. Many people do not know that there was a college for women located in High Point on the site of the M. J. Wrenn I residence on Broad street. It was a I well known institution in those days: and many young women received their education within its walls. It was burned later. I ruga roiin s nrsi lactory was uie gun factory built to manufacture arms for the Confederate soldiers. The factory was operated by her father and Several other citizens, and was an important industry. With keen humor Mrs. Jarrell de scribed how at the time the Yan kees came through several cars of guns at the factory somehow caught ' fire and burned without any explana-' tion ever being given. i "In the old days High Point waa noted as both -a summer and winter resort Among the earlier families that Mrs. Jarrell rememebrs best are those of Dr. Lindsay, Nathan Hunt, (High Point's first mayor), Jim Campbell, Seburn Perry, H. Alexan der, D. L. Clark, Sewell Farlowe, William Barbee, and Rev. Pleasant was farther service in connection with tha Wrmetrt at Deep River Friends church, the same day, by tha minister. - The defeated waa a humble. aisteat member of the Friends church at Springfield for tha last sixty years af his life. His ancestors for genera tions were Friends. He waa always opposed to war. During tha war be tween the States, he with many other Friends waa allowed to da work f of the Confederacy in lieu of mili tary service part of the time-,. later, he paid the $500 exemption fee as did many others. He believed war 4o he absolutely wrong according to the teachings f Jesus Christ and the gove rmeat and spirit of the kingdom of God, which he regarded as of higher authority than any human government He was a pacifist of I i .'t U iLc!;.. ai4 iry iLtra. burg Kraxier.

Ia 1900 there were no rural pub lic libraries ia "the state. In 1923 there were mora than 4,800. The lesson these figures teach is that education and material progress are definitely related and Illiterate people do not maka a great progres sive growing state. , The higher, the educational standards are the greater is likely to be the development In material ways. It costs money to maintain good schools but the money returns many fold. Raleigh, Dec Daily News. GEORGE P. PELL. 11, 1923.
