The second, a frame structure, served till the beginning of this century. Then under the pastorate of Rev. A. W. Plyler the present house was built. Among the strong laymen who made it possible were W. P. Wood, Sam Bradshaw, W. J. Scarboro, W. H. Moring, J. E. Walker, W. D. Stedman, and Wiley Rush. This building was quite creditable for its time. It was solemnly Medicated to Almighty God by Rev. A, W. Plyler. The ministers who toiled here for the first fifty years are hot known to the writer. Of the work of Rev. , A.

Vi, r -. v Much interest is being taken by tha people in , the counties traversed by state highway No. 75. is a 'meeting which, will be bald in Lexington next Tuesday, December 30th, in an effort to launch a movement for hard sur facing this important route.- At this -meeting it is planned to perfect an organisation of leading men in . the ' ten counties through which No. 75 ' runs to the matter of further improv ing tha route up srith the . highway ' commission. -It, i argued on behalf " of this important . t highway that ; it '. opens ap the counties la' the heart of Piedmont North Carolina and furnish-'' es an ideal Central Highway.-. The hard surfacing '? of the. route along its entire length would especial-,' ly benefit Chatham, Randolph, David- son and Davie counties. u It s would ' " parallel no railroad m these eountiea'' and would open up for expansion wide territory in these eountiea.' It would be a means of furnishing not omy reuei tor tranic congestion ntm the highway front Salisbury to' Dur- -ham, but also a good route for a'ter ritory in tha counties mentioned which a are more or less isolated vfrora ' the ' main routes. Especially would 'tha hard surfacing of the highway benefit Randolph' and Davidson counties. 1 would affoKLa concrete highwayta an east and west direction across theae counties arid pass at right angles to ' the other hard surface highways, in these counties. ' It Is urged by those most interested ,, in the project that as many as possi ble of the people' of the county at- ' tend the Lexington meeting and lend ' their influence to the w launching ,of this movement.
