niOORE COUNTY’S leading news- weekly THE A Paper Devoted to the Upbuilding 01. 9, NO. 46. SPRlNCt} VIEW M A HUEY of the Sandhill Aberdeen, North Carolina Friday, October 18, 1929. FIRST IN NEWS AND advertising rth Carolina FIVE CENTS D. A. R. OF TEN STATES COMING TO PINEHURST First Regional Meeting in Or ganization’s History to Be Held Here Group Buyg Option on 2,300 Edgemoore Acres GOV. GARDNER TO SPEAK Plans are being perfected for the first regional meeting of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution, which will be held at Pinehurst No vember first and second. This will be the fi’’st of a series of six regional meei'ngs, the outcome of a vote at the June meeting of the National Board of Management, dividing the Statens into six geographical divis ions—Northern, Eastern, Southern, Central, Western and Pacific Coast Division. The president general, Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart, has granted the Southern Division the privilege of holding the first regional meeting ever held in the United States, and North Carolina as hostess on this occasion is signally honored. Pinehurst was chosen as an ideal place for the Con gress and Mrs. Charles Richard TVTiit- aker, of Southern Pines, State Re gent, of North Carolina, is general rhairman, under the president gen- oral, and has associated with her the State regents of the eleven Southern states. The Southarn division in cludes the States of Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louis iana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Cuba, and a representati- e gathering of women prominent in the D. A. R. in these Southern states will be in at tendance. The national officers, headed by the president general, Mrs. Hobart, will attend and this Firat Divisional Con gress promises to be another step forward in the advancement of the great work being done by the D. R. R. It is the hope of the President General, National and State officers that the attendance at this first re gional meeting will be large, and the work accomplished will justify the action in voting to hold these meet ings in various sections of the Ignited States. All Daughters Invited. The State Regent of North Caro lina, Mrs. Charles R. Whitaker, ex tends a most cordial invitation to all North Carolina Daughters who caii possibly do so, to attend this Con gress, as it promises to be not only interesting but profitable to all who attend, and of great benefit to the progress of the society. It will also present an opportunity to many who are unable to attend the Continental Congress in Washington to meet the national officers. The National Con gress held annually in Washington, D. C., is a delegated body and only those who are properly elected are permitted to attend. This Regional Congress is so constituted that every member of the D. A. R. who is in good standing is privileged to at tend. This Regional Congress will be a miniature NatioVial Congress Moore County Co., Inc. Pays Sub stantial Figure as Binder Until Feb. 21, 1930. By BION H. BUTLER. One of the most important trans actions announced in a long time, having a prospective influence of broad range, is the purchase, through Frank Buchan and S. B. Richardson, of an option on the 2,300 acres of ■^c’^enioor^ H2i‘ghts by Moore Coun ty Company, Inc. For a substantial figure this organization has bought the option for the purchase of the entire Edgemoore Heights holding, to be exercised by February 21, 1930. It is no secret that the buyers of the option have had their eyes on the tract for some time, for better than any one else they ara acquainted | with the Edgemoore land, riding over j the territory in fox hunts frsnuently i every season for several years. The character of the surface appealed to them, and its fitness for homes on sites of considerable acreage left its impression. The increasing talk of country estates has hurried the de cision to secure the land, and Wed nesday the transaction arrived at its finishing stages. The 2,300 acres of Edgemoore Heights include one of the most de- 'irable bodies of land in this sec tion. It lie=t on the east side of the State Highway, Route 50, extending 9bout three miles north from South ern Pines and Manley, and runs east- w^ard nearly a similar distance, cov ering practically all the ground north east from Southern Pines. It is top- ogTaphically desirable, being com- Clean-up Week All Citizens larged to Co-ope rate in Move to Eliminate the Unsightly. Next week is Clean-Up Week in Aberdeen. If each will do his or her part by the removal of unsightly ob jects from premises, by co-opera tion with others in the elimina tion of waste, and by bearing in mind that there is no civic asset greater than cleanliness, the cam paign for a cleaner Aberdeen will accomplish its purpose. The Parent-Teachers’ Associa tion, the Chamber of Commerce and the Aberdeen Book Club are behind the movement for a cleaner city. Mrs. .1. R. Page is chairman of the committee of the Parent- Teachers’ Association, and commit tees are being appointed from the other organizations to supervise the work. Do your part!
