ATTEND BOOSTERS' MEETING Gall for Another Cit izens' Mass Rleetlng On Monday night last, we un dertook to hold a Citizens' Mass Meeting for the purpose (if tak ing active steps to make High Point double its population with in the next few years. There was a fine attendance of all classes of our citizens at this meeting, hut unfortunately, just as the meeting was getting well under way, the dreaded tire alarm was sounded, which necessitat ed adjournment. I am therefore calling another Mass Meeting for Monday night next, at the School Auditorium, at 7.30 o'clock sharp, in order to have room for all who may at tend, so that we may continue our plan to do our duty by our city. It behooves every property owner and other good citizen of High Point to attend this Mons ters' meeting and take an active part in organizing for a vigorous campaign, having as its object the building of a bigger, better and still more prosperous c it v. We need more manufacturing plant-., mure g.Mxl workmen to operate them; more dwelling houses, more business houses, more railroads and more of every thing which will attract outside people with their capital to invest and hold them. With High Point's solid foun dation, its splendid business and moral integrity, its magnificent public schools, better than at any time in its past history, its high ly improved sanitary conditions, with Piedmont County near at hand and with its absence from things obectionable, why should we not rank at the head ol the list of progressive North Carolina cities within the next four years. There is work along these lines for us all to do and the time is short indeed. Let us not delay another week. 1 urge every citizen whether richh or poor, to attend this meet ing and receive a hearty wel come and come prepared to help us do things. Talk with your neighbors and plan to be at this meeting and do your part in assisting to form an organization which will have as its sole object, a glorious city of twenty thousand happy, pros perous people in the year 11)15. Pleas come and be on time. Respectfully, Fred N. late, Mavor. Killed by Train o BODY FOUND BY SECTION CREW.
