The Alleghany, Sparta Star, says that a jitney line has been started up between Sparta and Elkin, rather it is a truck line, leaving Elkin at 8 a.m., arriving at Sparta at 10. Then it returns to Elkin at 1 p.m., making connection with the train and Winston truck express. Points of departure: Hackler’s store in Sparta and Mosely & Reese store at Elkin.
In the account of the death of Miss Mamie Barber printed last week the Hustler was in error as to the first name of Rev. Richard Wainright Barber, deceased, her father. Instead of Rev. “William” Wainright Barber it is Richard W. Barber. Another error, which came to us through the daily paper’s account, is also a mistake and that is as to the late R.W. Barber‘s father being the first pastor of the Wilkesboro Episcopal church which “for more than a century” etc. Rev. R.W. Barber was the next to the first pastor preceding him. The church building is near-about 80 years old and not 100. The old Methodist building, the Presbyterian and Episcopalian each must have been built within 10 years of each other.
