DEVELOPMENT
Embellishing Nature !
Is something of an under
taking but the builders of
Ken worth are trying it.
The new suburb which is
rapidly growing up along
Bth Ave. presents *to Home
Builders opportunities
equaled by no other enter
prise in this section.
There are level meadows,
wooded* hillsides, steady
valleys, through which run
natural brooks and. from
many points may be had
fine views. And all this is
within 10 to 15 minutes
walk of the station.

Hickory Merchants' 'Association Adopt Uniform Opening and
Closing Hours for All Stores.—Ample Time and Opportunity
Given to All Classes of Customers to do Their Trading. — The
Move a Humanitarian Necessity.
The merchants of the City of
Hickory have effected an organi
zation that, it is hoped, will not
only be beneficial to them and
their employees, but to the pub
lic at large. One of the greatest
est hardships to the storekeeper
and his assistants is the long
hours made necessary through
habits formed when Hickory
was but a 'country village—that
of opening the stores at break of
day and keeping them open away
into the night as long as there
was a chance of a stray cus
tomer dropping in. We are all
familar with the sign at near
railroad station restaurants,
"Meals Served at All Hours-
Day or Night," and Hickory
store-keepers are expected to be
almost on the same basis —open
day and night. However, the
day-and-night restaurant keeper
has this advantage—he keeps a
night force as well as a day
force.
As we have stated above, this
is a habit born of opportunity,
and not the result of a necessity,
and we feel satisfied that our
patrons will willingly co-operate
with us in our efforts to reduce
the number of working hours ol
our assistants as well as our
selves. Just a little forethought
is all that is needed to prevent
any inconvenience to any of our
patrons, and what will that little
forethought mean to the many
men and women employed in our
stores? It will mean to them a
better home life, opportunities
for rest, reading and recreation,
time to take part in civic affairs
that is now denied them—in
fact, make better citizens, better
men and women, of the little
armv of clerks who so faithfully
serve you.
The Merchants Association
was scarcely organized before
this evil was stressed by many
of our most prominent citizens,
and we were urged to take steps
to correct this condition. To this
end, it was decided to have uni
form opening and closing hours

ELOCTRIGRAILWAY
FROM LENOIR TO BOONE
Lenoir, March 29.—A move
ment has been launched for the
erection of an electric railway
from Lenoir to Blowing. Rock
and Boons. T. H. Coffey of
Blowing Rock is one of the lead
ing spirits behind the plan, and
he says that a considerable
amount of the money necessary
is already in sight and that the
people of *Watauga County are
much enthused ovei the erection
of the road.
The tentative plans as now
proposed call for the using of
the Lenoir and Blowing Rock
turnpike as the roadoed for the
electric railway and the develop
ment of the waterpower of the
Yadkin River, near the foot of
the mountains, for securing the
necessary electric power. David
R. Shearer, an electrical engineer
of Knoxville, Tenn., recently
made an investigation of the
proposed site for the location of
the darn on the above mentioned
river, and estimated that suffi
cient power could easily be se
cured for the proposed enter
prise. .
The grade of the Lenoir and
Blowing, JRock turnpike is
thought to be sufficient for the
etectric line, with the exception
of straightening out a few
curves, and it is mated that
such a line can be bu:k at a co.-f
of $5,000 a mil* by usi tne
turnpike roadbed.

Rey. Stanford Gives Impressive
Sermons.
Greensporo Daily News,
The service at West Market
Street Methodist church last
night was unsurally interesting
and impressive. Rev. A. L. Stan
ford took for his subject the
question, "What is the greatest
misfortune that can befall a hu
man life in this world?" He dis
cussed in a remarkably fresh
and interesting way the blight
of poverty and the distress of
sorrow, but he showed how, out
of conditions of poverty and sor
row, human lives have risen in
to beauty and strength. He
found the answer to his question
in Matthew 25:25. "And I was
afraid and went and hid thy
talent in the earth. 1 '
Seldom has there been a more
impressive service heid at West
Market church. Men and women
were powerfully mov«d by the
sermon.
