Mamance Should have Hospital
A plan has originrited in - our
Chamber of Commerce whereby
an effort is being made to see
how much stock can be secured
to erect a hospital in Alamance
County. The ammount of stock
to be $25000. which it is thought
might be raised on the Building
and Loan plan. The proposition
afloat is to see how many stock
holders can be secured who will
take a specified number of shares
to be paid in by small amounts
each year until the total has
been paid. To this end the
secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce is making an investi
gation. No county in the state
needs a hospital more than Ala
mance.
We patronize St Leos. Rex,
Stokes and even the hospiials in
Richmond and New York. How
m.uch better if our friends^ and
loved ones might be cared for m
the same way at home, v-^here
we might be by their bed side.
The time will come sooner or
later when we must have this
institution, is it not upon us at
present. We gladly eKiend our
columns to any citizen \vho may
feel an interest in this great
work.

family.
Some years after their marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Clapp moved to
this county purchasing a large
farm known as the islev farm
near the Alamance Battle Ground
where they lived until two or
three years ago when they moved
back to Guilford County.
Mr. Clapp from early boyhood
took great pride in the accumula-
tion of wealth and in this under

one of the wealthiest men of
that neighborhood.
Mr. Clapp was a Christian
gentleman of the highest type

none but honest.
He was one of the ruling mem

fort to grow enough corn in our
state, and to grow it cheaply
enough, so that none will be
shipped into the state from other
parts of the country. The Dem
onstration Work has shown that
with good methods of farming we
can easily grow from thirty to
fifty bushels per acre instead of
fifteen to twenty bushels per acre
as we have been doing in past
years. These larger amounts can
be grown at an average price of
about twenty-five cents per bus
hel, so the matter is one of vital
importance to every farmer who
grows corn.
Two meetings will be held in
our County at Friendship Feb. 7th
at Crossroads Feb. 8th 1913, be
ginning at 1 o’clock. At that
time we will have with us some
men from the U. S. and the State
Department of Agriculture to
discuss the best methods of
doubling the corn yield without
increasing the cost per acre. We
hope you will come to the meeting
and bring one or two dozen of
your best ears of corn so that we
may havea'corn judgingard some
corn to study. Also we expect
at
i some of our most successful corn
' S^'owers to tell us how they suc-
* ceedin the matter. Invite your
neighbors, especially the boys, to
come to the meeting.
Yours cordially,

Our advertiser has addressed
each and reply was returned,
unanswered. He refuses to
employ anyone, until one or the
other of these lovely kids are
cummunicated with. A chair
to accommodate the Two Hun

delay is necessary, for the age

our advertiser prefers the weight
of number two, but the age is
not satisfactory. Fear is held
that the race would be two long
