Hillsboro — A plague of a half century ago brought a tidy profit ind an interesting story to Or- • ange County this week. Involved are 15 acres of mopn ain top land present generation officials didn’t know the county owned and a scarcity of a mineral ingredient used in the making of fire brick. Recently, the firm of John A. Boren and A. M. Cheek of Guil ford County sought the services of. A. H. Graham to ascertain the ownership of a tract of land on top of what is known as the ■First Modnfain, South of Hillsboro, about a quarter of a mile off Highway 86. Uipon investigation, Mr. Graham found the 15 acre tract at t;he very top to be owned • by the county, it having been bought in 1900 for the erection of a county ‘ipest house” during the smallpox epidemic of that year. The purchase price was $60. Monday Mr. Graham and &. M Harvey, a representative of the Guilford firm appeared before the board seeking title to the in accessible tract and the Commis sioners readily accepted the com pany’s offer of $100 per acre for the land. The company will do ‘^prospecting” over the tract to see if it contains the scarce ma terial it needs. The sihack which was built as a “pest house" has long since dis integrated and in fact was never occupied, Mr. Graham said. There is no road to the land. Approxi mately half dozen local people will be employed by the Arm in the prospecting operations on the top of First Mountain. ~tn other actions the board ap proved appropriation of $150 from the emergency fund for the em ployment of a . helper for the veterinarian to test Orange Coun ty cattle for Bang’s Disease. Another emergency appropriation of $472 was approved for the em ployment of additional office help Js in the office of CbuntCler* E. M. Lynch, the need being caused by recent upsurge in the activity of that office. A road known, as Oak Street extension in Cheeks Township, ^from Highway 70 to the Bfland Halls Mill Hoad was approved for taking over by the State High way and Public Works Commis sion. Fred T. Thompson appeared in the interest of another road improvement project in Cedar drove township. ■o Progress Plan To Be Carried To Each Fanily Hillsboro — In an effort to se cure first hand reaction to the local Rural Progress Campaign, agricultural 'workers are asking several leading men and women in each neighborhood to assist them in presenting the program to each farm family in the coun ty. -5 Following explanation of ■, the program (outlined in detail in these eplumns two weeks ago), the foiowing information will the sought from each farm family: (1) Whether they will make an attempt to produce $1,000 more l in farm income.
