MINISTER HAS NARROW ESCAPE Truck Loaded With Wagons Takes Top Off His Car and Knocks Him Unconscious— \ News Of King. | King, Dec. ">l.-Rev. Burrus. of Yadkin county while driving along the highway just east of | town this afternoon in a Ford roadster had a verv narrow i escape for his life. There was a I blinding rain falling at the time ihe met a truck loaded with knocked down wagons, parts of | the wagons extended out over ; the side of the truck. One of these ! pieces took off the whole top of | his automobile, Mr. Burrus was hit on the head and knocked un i consious and he remained in this j state until someone came along land picked him up. The man i who was driving the truck and I whose name was not learned made no stop. On account of the blinding rain and the fact that the obstacle that hit Mr. Burrus was in back of the man who was driving the truck, we are led to believe that he did not know of the damage he had done. It is hoped that Mr. Burrus is not seriously hurt. The Davis, Badgett Realty Co. ;of Pilot Mountain, pulled off a I very successful lot sale here j Saturday, The C. S.

Dec. 29. j At a joint meetimr of represen tatives from Stuart, Va., and! members of the local Chamber j of Commerce held here la :t | night plans were discussed as 'o ways anil iiv-ans of building a stretch of road connecting this city with Stuart. Va. The Stuart delegation an neared to be heartily in favor of building the road, stating that they were anxious to link |up with Winston-Salem, and j they offered a plan that seem-1 ! ed to meet with the approval of j the Winston-Salem delegation. I During tho discussion t!v' I Virginia delegation proposed i , that North Carolina build a stretch of road to some point in tho vicinity of Hill Abe Mar ! . , tins store, which is located at j or about the Virginia line. \ plan was divulged whereby it is Ix'lieved that Patrick county will be enabled to build the six or eight miles from Stuart to the North Carolina line, and with the completion of a short stretch of road in North Caroli na a direct route over a stand ard highway from that city t.oi Winston-Salem would be offer ed to the public. The proposition made to the local chamber of commerce seemed to assure the building of the road into Stuart, and the Stuart delegation presented their proposition in writing to the chamber of commerce, and this proposition will be sub mitted to highway commission er 1 lanes. The Stuart representatives as well as the local men seemed to sense the importance of the link of road, and while no definite action was taken, and could not be at that time, it is believed that such a road will become a i reality. This road would not j only open up a large territory, rich in farm produce, but will | place both Stuart add Winston- Salem on a direct route for tourists traveling north and 1 South. Among those attending the meeting here were John Gil mer, E. T. Mickey, chairman of the Forsyth county highway commission, Harry *Yoi>je:\ president of the chamber of commerce, Thos. Maslin, P. A. Gorrell. W. T. Fitter, and Mess. George and Joyce, of Stuart. i Mr. and Mrs. Lacy U.

He was formerly pastor of several of i ♦he Baptist churches in county. No. 2,698 R. T. BROWN HEAD OF BRIDGE CO. Was Formerly State High way Engineer Surveyed Road In Stokes Twelve Years Since. R. T.

I road between the two point.*. , Incidentally it might be men j lioned that sufficient stock was I sobi or subscribed to build the | road but on account of difficulty in securing rights of way, etc., the projet t was abandoned.
