Knitting machines are to be

a capacity of 150 dozen hose a day.
The space and power are to be

the part or anotner farm to give

test whether or not such an in
stitution will pay here. Messrs.
Laubach and Butz, together with
an expert lady, Mrs. Grover, who
will manage the machinery, have
beer here several days, and it will
be but a short time until the mar-
chines will be in peration. While
only an experiment, it means a
consumption of a considerable
amount of home product from the
two mills here, and there is every
indication that is will pay. Al be-
marie Enterprise.
A number, of young ladies who
were tnrown out or employment
by the burning of the Salisburv

Mrs. Lanier was thrown out.
Then the horse made another
turn, .into the street, and Mrsi
Rice was thrown outC She
was nol hurt, but Mrs. Lanier re
ceived a copf)le of cuts in the head
and was rendered unconscious for
awhile.

Notes AbouMt. Vernon.
Mt. Vernon is a pleasant com
munity in northwestern Rowan.
it is one oi tne oest iarmmg sec-
Hons in tne county, ine sou is
fertile and the climate healthful.
Wheat, oats, cotton, tobacco, and
vegetables are extensively culti
vated. The farmers are thrifty
and enterprising as evidenced by
the progressive appearance of the
farms.
Messrs. loverly cc Lartner are
the hustling merchants here. They
carry a nice line of dry goods,
shoes, groceries, hardware, - drugs
and sundries. By their uniform
courtesy they have long enjoyed a
profitable trade. -
The flour and saw mills, and
cotton gin of iNlessrs. Teague &
Currant are located here. They
are run by water power. Besides
doing a great deal of sawing for
the district, they manufacture and
furnish many thousands of tobacco
boxes for the factories in Winston.
The owners expect shortly to put
rollers in their Hour mills, thus
being able to furnish as good flour
as can be made in Rowan. When
this is done they will no doubt get
a largely increased patronage.
Mr. Emery Teague is the politeJ
and genial postmaster. By his ef
ficiency he has won the praise of
his constituency.
Several churches are near here
South River Baptist, Unity and
LThird Creek Presbyterian. These
have good pastors and are well at
tended, which indicates the active
religious disposition of the popu
lation. .
A number of the people here
are subscribers to the Sun. They
are very much pleased with it, and
say it is the best paper ever pub
lished in the county. 4
Mr., Robert Carson and sisters,
Misses Maud and Blanche, who
have been attending the high
school at Cleveland, have returned

Mr. John Locke Carson, who is
now doing a thriving business in
Dallas, Texas, is expected home
eariy next month to spend a few
weeks withrelatives. - He will be
accompanied by his bride. Mr.
Carson has friends in Salisbury
who will join me in extending con
gratulations.
The writer holds in memory
many pleasant hours spent here..
People nowhere are more conge
nial and hospitable. For the many
kindnesses shown him during his
visit he is duly appreciative, and
wishes publicly to extend thanks.
