News from Niagara in The Pilot, Oct. 31, 1924

Niagara

Mr. and Mrs. A. Green and daughter, of Southern Pines, visited at the James Green home Monday. Mrs. C. Carter, Miss Carrie Somers and Miss Maude Stewart motored to Aberdeen Wednesday morning to attend the meeting held at the Methodist church by the evangelist Caldwell.

Mr. Hawk arrived Thursday for a visit with his brother Dexter Hawk and family.

Mr. and Mrs. Klutz made a business trip to Vass Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. E. Barton were calling on friends in the village Friday.

Mr. Somers and son Gates and daughter, Miss Carrie, motored to Pinehurst Friday.

Miss Sarah Williams, who has been visiting with relatives at Stanley the past week, returned home Thursday.

Mrs. D. McDonald and daughters, Jessie and Jean, and Mrs. Lacy McDonald and small daughter spent Saturday in Southern Pines.

Dr. Lewis and family from New York state have leased an apartment in Niagara, and will spend the winter here.

Mr. and Mrs. Rice and daughter were guests at the James Green home several days last week. Mr. Rice has spent the summer months in the north and is looking for a place to locate this winter. They were favorably impressed with Niagara, and would have remained here had there been an available house to rent.

Mr. Van Truen of Southern Pines, who has recently purchased the cement block house of Mr. Lemon, was in the village several days last week making needed repairs on his purchase. [The last name was spelled Vantruen in the Sandhill Fair story.]

One of the needs of Niagara is several houses to rent. It would be a paying proposition for some one with capital to erect houses to rent, as people are in the village daily looking for places but are obliged to go elsewhere owing to the scarcity of houses.

Mrs. Mary Morgan was called to Chapel Hill Saturday on account of the serious illness of an aunt.
