Boone Used Trail In Carrying Good Catch Of Fur To Market At Wilmington— Old Trading Path Trail. Major J. Hampton Rich, of Winston Salem, was in Asheboro Friday and made an interesting talk at chapel exercises in the Asheboro city schools. He spoke about old trails which pass through Asheboro and related some interesting facts about them. One of these trails was the old Yadkin road, used, Major Rich stated, by the buffaloes in passing from the tall grass at the “forks” of the Yadkin to the tall reed thickets on the low er Cape Fear. It was in these reed thickets that the buffaloes spent the winter months. In the spring the ani mals migrated to the green grass on the Yadkin. Daniel Boone learned of this trail, said Major Rich, and followed it to Fayetteville at one time to sell an extra good catch of mink and musk rat skins. At another time Boone went to Wilmington to sell a catch of muskrat. On this particular trip the trail blazer, as Boone is often call ed, used the old Trading Patch, which runs a little farther north than the old Yadkin road. Major Rich announced a medal and cup contest, which is being sponsored by the Boone Trail Association. A marker for the Yadkin road, he stat ed, would be placed in Asheboro in the spring. Major Rich also spoke on the same subject to the Kiwanis Club at its regular meeting on Thursday night.

While the school was not as largely attend ed as some schools put on in this State yet it was very satisfactory. There were about twenty-five persons in the classes, these coming from Denton, Siler City and Asheboro. There were two classes of pupils, those who work ed for credits, that is, did all the work assigned by the instructors, and the ot&r class were those'who did not care to work for credits but came and took part in the class room discus sions and grot as much as possible out of the course.
