LIKES TOWN
Few ftemVer of Local bar
fntfrestiogly of his
Impressions,
writes
(B7 J. li. Davjs)
Upon coming to a new town,
one draws conclusions based up
on the ircnircKsio.is uie piopie
and the town make upon the
mind of the nowcomer. Of coursn
I was deeply struck by '.he friend
ly spirit, the coug.niality of the
people itnd the hearty welcome
you ex teed to a stranger. The
good citizens ot Kinir Mouutain
know how to wake a new man
feel at home. I could expect
nothing more, thptrh, from the
broad minded and democratic
DBODle Of Cleveland. Such a
loyal and big hearted citizenry
is not Vi be found lu every town
and in every county iu the state.
Na'urally, then. tTie conclusion
that I drew '-oia the spirit of
your town and neoule was that
you were a good people to so
journ with. '
I was next forcibly impressed,
and glad'y so, by vour churches.
The town of Kingt. Mountain
shonld be, and I beleiye is, proud
of her chui dies tn Ray nothing
of the profound and inspired
pastor she has to rill each pul
pit. The Presbyterians, the
Baptist, the Lutherans, the A.-l
K. P. 'sand the Methodists all
have handsome buildings in
which to worship, modemly e
quipned in every resoect, And
Grace M. E. Church U ananff
in to build. I haye known
many towns larger' than yours
that were rot half so well bless-
ed as youis with places in which
to worship.
One usually judtfe'? a tewn
ana its pop'e by its churches
and schools. Judy;inif, then,
from your churches and schools,
one is forced to the conclusion
that Kin its Mountain is uncqual-
lu for its size. Tho commodi
ous school building which you
havit would da credit to any city
or town in the State or North
Carolina. It Is' a handsome brick
structure, modem and up to date
in Sfery respect. So let's learn
to - appreciate . this beautiful
structure which is an ornamnl
to oar little city and it will ever
be a memorial for the future gen
eration of the . worthy deeds
their forefathers accomplished,
and let nj learn to appreciate,
loo, more and more . the great
work your able force of teachers
to accomplishing in this spacious
building. 'y
As I see it, tho town of Kings
Mountain offers - many induce
ments to the business man or
professional ina'n who is seeking
a good .place to sei tie and to live.
We are not only .'blessed with
ffhurche?, with schools an peo
ple, but we are biassed with an
Excellent climr.te. Those who
are looking for pure air, pure
water, excellent climate, -frill find
1 belice, this place nnequellel,
To add to tbe health and lux
ury of our city, I wr'l say otrrs be
cause I feel that it is part mine.
;-we have water works and a new
sewerage system, in tnts mod
era day and time the. above arc
a great inducement tj anyone
who in seeking :, a : new home.
There-: ro many other 1 thing
yBicfivimpre.w A stranger and
many goldeu -opportunities and
advantak.es t-po-offe'r to the man
