Men Who Help Make Hickory Grow Fast Within a few days the Elliott Build ing Company will commence work on a new 50x100 feet brick building, two stories with basement, *which will be erected on theic lot' between the creamery and the Charter House. This building will be occupied b/ the Chtio-Cola Bottling Company un der the 'management of Mr. D. B Hannah of Gastonia, and will be quite an addition to Ninth avenue. The value cf such men as Messrs. j. D. and J. Worth Elliott as citizens cf Hickory cannot be estimated. Working under the firm name of the Eiliott Building Cdmpany, these gentlemen, since the summer of 1913, have built no less than five handsome brick structures in the citv, the one to be built included. Four of these on 11th avenue are occupied by the Hickory Oarage Co., Hickory Overall Co., Coca- Cola Bottling Co., and Hickory Har ness Co., and make an attractive busi ness block. These men believe in investing their money' at - home to make their home town bigger-and better. Con tractors on a large scale, doing busi in almost every Southern state, they naturally make a lot of money, which they bring here and invest. They also hire most of their construction force here, thus giving employment to home labor. We wish to thank these go:d men for what they are doing for Hickory hope they will never suffer reverses. ■New Leaf in Athletics to at Lenoir College .>,The outlook for a winning baseball team at Lenoir College is more promising for the coming season than it has been in the history of the college. There is much prospective new material. The athletic association is for tunate in having with them this year, Hunsucker, J. Lyerly and IC. Lyerly, former members and stars of their old rival and wor thy opponent, the Catawba Base ball Squad, They feel sure that with these experienced players, and also several of Lenoir's form er stars, a team can be deyeloped that will be a credit to the col lege. The College unanimously agreed last year to aw£ r J an L to each varsity player on the bas * bail, basketball and tennis tesirs respectively, and on account of a delayed order last commence ment, this was postponed until last night when Pro fessor Ctble gave a banquet at Sne Hotei nurfry IU honor of tl e varsity players and presented the L's to those worthy of receiving this honor. This should develop more competition for a place on the various teams. At this banquet was formed th i varsity L Association of Le n >ir College, composed of only varsity players. The Association was entertain ed hy an able speech by Profes sor Coble, and also a few remarks of encouragement by Professor James A Frye, of Catawba Col lege, former student and gradu ate of Lenoir College. Professor Coble is a believer in athletics, and an enthusiastic leader and director. To Have Aeroplane Flights at Fair.

The school children will march through the streets and educa tional speeches will be made by prominent men of the State. The third day -will be Live Stock and Poultry Diy. Weather permit ting the fair this year will eclipse all formerly held, and it is con fidently expected that a record breaking crowd will attend. The aeroDlane will prove a great drawing card.
