J. D. BIVINS, Managing Editor Established 1880 $1.00 per year, in advance VOLUME XXIV.' ALBEMARLE, N. C, THURSDAY, - JULY 27, 19i6 NUMBER 36 Remarkable Progress In Matter o img RTrtf DwIPenU Along the anew, me rrogress mat ocing mane in oiamy ounij. Ordinarily the outside world views a statement by a booster, as to a city's progress, with grains of allow ance, but when it comes to official re ports as to the development of a community, there is no questioning the correctness of the same. Below is given a list of buildings and new enterprises, which is taken from the annual report of buildings erected, or under construction within one mile of the Winston-Salem SouthboMnd Rail way, for the year ending June 30, 1916, submitted on this date by J. W. Lyerly, section foreman of the Winston-Salem Southbound Railway Com pany, to W. J. Johnson, General Su perintendent of that road. The list of improvements given below are those which are located in Albemarle. They are as follows: "Wiscassett Mills Company: Ore cotton mill, consisting of three build ings, one packing room, two ware houses, one annex to machine shop, and 31 nice bungalows. Efird Manu facturing Company: One large cotton mill, consisting of two buildings, one large warehouse, one modern office building, one $30,000 school building, and 32 dwellings. Southern Power Company: Double capacity of Sub station, erected power line to Nor wood." Other buildings and improve . ,ments set out in said report are as follows: "One large roller mill, one modern Baptist church, two bottling work plants, one large brick garage, two brick store buildings, one brick warehouse, one modern warehouse, 25 private dwellings, new sewer system, installation of one moving picture theatre." The movipg picture theatre referred to is not only the installation of the moving picture equipment, but it in a building erected especially for the moving picture theatre. It would be hard to estimate the value of the improvements set out above, but the . writer feels safe in stating that one million dollars would be a sure con servative estimate. Cor. Death of Faranthon Furr. Faranthon Furr, of western Stan ly, died in Concord from the effects of an operation at Concord hospital on the 12th day of July. Mr. Furr was about 81 years of age and was a gosd citizen, and reared a, family of children who are also good citizens. Mr. Furr was a son of Paul S. Furr, who died on the 12th day of July, 1864, at 11 o'clock in the morn ing, and his son, Faranthon, died just fifty-two years later to the hour. This is rather a peculiar incident or happening for the two good citi zens to die at the same hour of the day and just fifty-two' years apart. . Faranthon Furr was a Confederate soldier and was wounded in the bat tle at Gettysburg, a minie ball having been shot through his body. This ball is now at his old home place in Al mond township in this county. No better citizen resided in the county than Mr. Furr. He had es tablished for himself an enviable rep uation, and he was known for his hon esty and uprightness in his commun- Forty-seven grand-children and 79 great-grandchildren survive Furr. BIG LICK.
