Faith
Mr. S.P. Fraley has awarded a contract to Mr. John B. Earnhardt to make his residence a good deal larger and add another story to it. He has a crowd of carpenters at work and has just finished covering the new building and putting a nice brick front to the residence and trimmed it with granite, and we just found it out today. We can hardly keep up with the different improvements in and near faith.
W.M. Rogers has bought a fine new car.
John S. Watson gave us his old time Indian pipe for our collection. He is a fine clever man.
Mr. W.M. Sloop has an old time marriage certificate he says he is going to give us for our collection.
We have been invited to go to Grace Church above Salisbury June 29th, 1923, as a special big time is planned for that date.
Mr. J.A. Frick, the tailor Salisbury, did fine job for us.
Mike Mitchell, manager of the Salisbury Café, is one of the finest young men in Salisbury. while taking breakfast we met M.C.M. Smith, the speed cop of Salisbury, and Mr. H.O. Freeze, who also eat there.
We met two pretty girls, clerks in Eli Joseph’s store. They were Misses Margaret Wilkerson and Estella Hicks.
We met F.M. Shoaf, manager of the Lentz Grocery Co., and Miss Jessie Austin, a pretty girl clerk, and Elmer Rufty, a meat cutter, and B.E. Torrence.
We are having the hottest weather you ever saw.
S.C. Morgan of near Gold Hill brought me some homemade eczema save at Faith today.
We saw a pretty young lady at the Empire Drug Co. selling a lot of fine neck ties for gentlemen. She was from Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Beck was out at Faith with a big load of Coca-Cola Friday. He is one of Salisbury’s finest young men.
J.T. Wyatt today received an order for a pair of millstones. A check came along with the order to pay for them.
The new warehouse foreman at the freight depot is a fine young man. He signed up our bills of lading all o.k. and said our goods would be shipped off today.
Mrs. R.R. Williams picked one bushel of beans from her garden June 14th.
T.T. Page, an experienced café man, is now working for Mr. Glover at Dutch Lunch No. 2.
We will have 150,000,000 people in the United States in 1950, says one of our correspondents, if the increase continues as at present.
Some one can get a chance now to lease that rich gold mine in Rowan county.
Here is what we have in Faith: five stores, one Baptist Church, one Reformed Church, one Lutheran Church, one large garage with electric equipment, one eating house, one furniture store, a number of granite quarries, two barber shops, a large number of happy families, several motor trucks, and two horse wagons hauling granite from the quarries to the railroad and loading it on cars.
In the Stanly News Herald of September 8th, 1922, page 2, the fourth column, you will see a fine article headed “Autumn in the Mountains.” It is one of the best pieces we have seen about the beautiful mountains. Some one wrote it who had a lot of good knowledge and knew how to write.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Nance and wins motored up to faith to do some shopping.
Everybody here likes to see Mr. Barnhardt come to Faith every day because he brings our mail. Our letters have orders from all parts of the United States. Some letters have checks in them for work that has been shipped.
We visited Salisbury Ice Cream co., and they gave us a mess of that good ice cream. Here are the names of the men there: L.N. Lipe, J.C. Lipe, J.R. Fisker, W.M. Rudisell, G. Plyler, A.C. Harrington, W.M. Holshouser, J.E. Nance. They are all fine, clever young men.
