Thb Rapid Gornplotion of
tho Big Oao Plant
It is of great interest to the
people of High Point to note the
progress of the new gas plant
which is being erected on the
property situated east of the
Best Chair Factory. The foun
dation for the gas holder was
completed several days ago, and
today we understand that sever
al cars of material have been un
loaded and the erectors will start
building the gas holder within
the next three or four days. The
building for the manufacturing of
gas is well under way, and Mr.
I. G. Lawrence, contractor and
builder, has promised . that the
building will be completed and
ready for machinery on July 22.
The foundation and part of the
brick work is already in place.
Three car loads of gasmachinery
were shipped from Cleveand, O.,
on July 5th and is expected to
arrive in High Point by July 16.
30,000 Feet of Main
We find that the company has
thirty thousand feet of mains
stored at the gas plant which will
be distributed along the streets
within the next few days. Work
will commence on laying mains
either July 10th or nth.
The firms that urnish the gas
machinery are under contract
with W. N. Coler & Co., Engr.
Dept. to have everything com
pleted and ready to manufacture
gas the last week in August. It
is the desire that those who
wish to use gas would place their
orders at the earliest possible
moment. This is necessary in
order that they may figure on
which streets the mains will first
be laid. - - .. r
-There will be another demon
stration given by the gas com
any commencing July 15th. This
demonstration will be interesting
to all those who intend using gas
as (Tie lecturer will demonstrate
to the satisfaction of everyone
resent that gas is the cheapest
fuel that can be used, providing
it is used according to the in
structions given at these demon
strations. 1 he Popular

Beautiful Residential
Development
There are many visitors to
Roland Park these days. As the
work of grading the streets pro
gresses, the beauty of the devel
opment of this property unfolds
itself, and general admiration is
expressed.
Wexler avenue, leading into
the Park from. Main street, is
broad and attractive. Brantley
Court, a well-shaded acre orj a
knoll and surrounded by a sixty
foot street, is a veritable beauty
spot and a crowning feature.
Ardmore Cicle, over a third of a
mile in length and to have a uni
form hedge around it, will be a
lovely,.' romantic drive. Archi
tect Northup has designed an
exceedingly artistic entrance,
consisting of two lodges and a
pair of ornamental columns sur
mounted by electric lights. The.se
will be constructed of tile and
specially-made brick.
There is no question at all
that Roland Park will be one of
the most ambitious and prettiest
residential sections in North
Carolina. The tract of land is
specially well adapted for the
purpose, and the improvements
are on a liberal scale and evidence
marked good taste. The stock
holders and officers of the Roland
Pakr Cot are gentlemen of sub
stance and the highest business
standing. They may be relied
upon to carry out their promises
in every detail. They will pro
vide all modern convenience for
the purchasersof the lots, Includ
ing water, sewerage, lights and
sidewalks. ,
About twenty' lots have already
been sold, and among the buyers
are some of the most prominent
citizens of High "PJjint. It is cer
tain that the building of hand
some residences io the Park will
be" begun within the next several
months.
Support Our CI t) Park
It is the purpose of the city to
continue the improvements at the
City Park until it has been
brought up to a proper state of
attractiveness and with the gen
erous co-operation of the people
generally this can all be accom
plished this year. A proposition
of this kind always requires time
and money to bring about satis
factory developments and con
sidering the small amount of
means available thus far, we con
sider that a very fair showing
indeed has been made.

A Mew Church Arises
-
At a congregational meeting
of the First Reformed church
a short while ago it was decided
to build a new. church, the pres
ent pastorate having) been one of
marked success. After one year's
work the need of a Sunday scnool
building was realized and this
undertaken, as a result of this ef
fort, the congregation now tas a
modern Sunday school bulling.
Then came the building of the
church which is rising r; oidly
from the site of the old one.
Large numbers of;. the unsaved
young people of the southern
part of the city are under the in
fluence of this church. In view
of this the church) and pastor
greatly feels the Responsibility
that rests upon theip to do their
utmost to save them. The seat
ing capacity of the church will be
largely increased and the work is
going forward.
The El. P. Orphanage
As announced some days ago
the Methodist Protestant church
has purchased a farm from Mr.
J. J. Welch on the Greensboro
road, and it is their purpose to
put an Orphan's Home on it at
an early date. They are plan
ning to expend about $15,000 on
the. farm in buildings and im
provements, and hope to have the
main buildings up and ready to
be occupied by the first oi" No
vember. '
In coversation with Mr. J. M.
Millikan yesterday we 'earned
that this home is not an institu
tion of the church in North Car
olina alone, but that the entire
Methodist Protestant church is
hack of it, and the success of the
institution is assured. It means
a great deal to High Point to
have this Orphan's Home in our
midst. The committee, came here,
and purchased the site without
lannassing High Point first and
thus pressing the city to make a
bid for the institution.
They did thi because they had
full confidence that this commun
ity would do its whole duty b)
such an undertaking.
The local Methodist Protestant
church is doing well by the Home,
and they confidently expect the
public spirited citizens of High
Point to help them out.
Mr. J. M. Millikan and Mr. T.
A. Hunter, two business men of
Greensboro, are coming over this
week to canvass the citizens of
High Point, and we bespeak for
them a most hearty response.
As soon as they are through with
the canvass here the finance com.
mittee .is planning to make a
simultaneous canvass of Greens
boro, Winston, Asheboro, Bur
lington, Henderson and other
places with a view to having
work begin on Buildings within
the next 60 days. The finance
committee consists of the follow

SOCIAL
(By I. I. P.)
Mrs. W. Chase Idol Honors
Bride.
There is a certain fascination
about any 'function given a bride,
and when the affair is given by
one who has so recently enjoyed
that title herself and is also giv
en in honor of one to whom
cupid's fatal dart made the first
pierce at that former marriage
when the bride of today was
maid to the first bride and her
lately chosen mate the best man.
the party is truly one of distinc
tion. The, cards to the "At Home"
given Wednesday afternoon by
Mrs. W. Chase Idol and which
were pretty and oblong and hand
delivered bore the name of Mrs.
Virgil Austin Jasper Idol, (nee
Miss Annie Sue Wilson) the
young bride who has already
been given such a substantial
place in High Point society.
At the head of the broad steps
and on the , veranda the callers
were welcomed by Mrs. Alvin
Parker, Mrs. George Matton, and
Mrs. Carl Hill and directed to
the punch table on the south
porch where there was massed
stately palms, making a restful
background for the wealth of one
of "nature's choicest flowers
"Queen Anns Lace" which
made modest foot lights for the
edge of the porch fell all around
the punch table, and in their
quivering faces rising high
around the bowl which was the
reservoirfor the most refreshing
punch, itw as so easy for fancy to
weave fairy pictures and all of
this was enchanced by the daint
iness of Misses Ethel and Mary
Walker as they passed the delici
ous beverage so gracefully serv
ed by Mrs. Arthur Lyon and
Miss'Verta Idol. Attracting al
most as much attention as the
much sought bride were the two
beautiful little tots who received
cards at the door little Margaret
Hauser and Dora Walker. At
the opening of the hall, made
beautiful with the same wood
land flower Queen Ann Lace
banked with ferns. Mrs. J. J.
Farriss in a val lace afternoon
gown received and directed the
guests to the library door, where
Mrs. C. XL Hauser, yellow chif
fon over blue messaline, present
ed them to the receiving line in
the library. Only the most deli
cate species of fern were used in
here, but to be a color motif for
the brides exquisite gown, the
rarest of decorative possibilities
were accomplished by use of the
nasturtium in a solid color of
pale delicate yellow.
Receiving with the hostess
who wore her handsome wed
ding (.own of white duchess sat
in elaborately trimmed in rose
point lace and wearing white
brides roses, were : XI. Virgil
A. J. Idol, the honoree in yellow
Camelion Raye with draperies of

Miss Pearl Idol in printed taffeta

room where amid a profusion of
pink roses and in light colored
chiffon gowns Mrs. J. D. Cox and
