Harroll'o Ab sence Causes Anxiety The mysterious disappearance of our well known young towns man, Mr. J. M. Harrell, since last Thursday week, twelve days ago, has stirred the people of High Point as nothing else has done for many years. Mr. Harrell in his leaving neither made his In tentions of going or his destination known to anyone, keeping the matter even from his wife, his office employes and busi ness friends who know nothing whatever of his purpose in leay ing, or his whereabouts. LEFT FIRST FO.R GREENS BORO. He left his home here on Thursday morning, September S in the usual way, about 8 o'clock in the morning and came down town to his office. After attend ing to his morning mail he left for Greensboro on train No. 22 but came through High Point on train Xo. 35 that same afternoon, going south, having been seen by Mr. Will Ragsdale of Jamestown. This was the last stn or heard of Mr. Harrell, and tbis was train No. 35 that same evening, twelve days ago. The Enterprise lias been averse to making the matter public, in the hope of Mr. Harrell's return, as he held the con fidence of his friends here some of whom thought he would return. But up to this time no word has been received from him. INSURANCE MEN ARRIVE. Even before it became general ly know that he was absent from his office, representa tives of the various fire in surance companies arrived in Ilih Point from day to day to look after the business of the re spective companies represented here by Mr. Harrell.
