ing station at the southeast corner of
East Broad street and New Hamp
shire avenue, Southern Pines, was
completed this week and Chan S.
Page, head of the company, has been
busy receiving the congratulations of
his fellow citizens since. The ‘‘face
lifting” has resulted in a most at
tractive as well as convenient struc
ture for the purposes served by this
company which took over the former
Beck’s Garage several years ago.
This company, which was incor
porated by the Secrtetary of State
last week, is the Moore county agent
for Hudson and Terraplane automo
biles as well as the Southern Pines

An attractive and interesting book
which bids fair to be In demand
during the Christmas shopping sea-
l^on is on display in the windows of
the Hayes’ Bookshop, the work of
Mrs. Effie Williams Leland, mother
of Mrs. EMwln T. McKeithen of
Aberdeen and Mrs. Frank Wilder and
John Leland of Charleston, S. C. It s
title Is “Crossln’ Over,” and It was
published by The State Company of
Columbia, S. C.
The book has been highly praised
in reviews appearing in the Charles
ton News & Courier and the Mont
gomery, Alabama, Advertiser. Says
the former:
" ’Crossln’ Over’ is a tribute to the
I negro servant of the old South v/ho,
I reared in slavery, remained faithful
j and devoted under changed condi-
I tions. Mrs. Leland knows her Soulh-
I ern negro, his virtues and his short-
I comings, and she has Written of him
I with humor and sympathy. She has
I been successful re-creating her
I period, in capturing the atmosphere
I of post-reconstruction days, and m
giving her characters distinction and
I personality. The little tale Is written
; largely in dialogue and moves with
a refreshing ease and simplicity. The
dialect is spontaneous and unaffect
ed.”
Mrs. Leland, who is now visiting
her daughter in Aberdeen, is the
.jwldow* otf the late W. A. Leland,
prominent hydro-electric engineer of
his day who built some of the larg
est plants in the south, Including the
Blewett Falls plant of the Carolina
Power & Light Co., at Rockingham.
Her father was Major Jerry Wil
liams, an attorney and Member of
Congress from Alabama.
