Local Mention in Concord Tribune Aug. 15, 1925

Local Mention

Dr. M.L. Troutman of Kannapolis is spending the week in Asheville attending the dental clinics and visiting his family at Mountain Home.

Regular Saturday night movies will be held tonight at the Y.M.C.A. beginning at 7:45 o’clock. An interesting program has been arranged.

Rev. W.H. Causey, former pastor of Trinity Reformed Church, will preach tomorrow to the members of that church in the absence of the pastor, Rev. W.C. Lyerly.

Figures from the county health office show that a total of 5,150 persons have received treatment for inoculation against typhoid during this summer. It is thought likely that the number this year will exceed those taking treatment last year.

Miss Jessie Combs left this afternoon for Greensboro, where she will spend several days with relatives. Miss Combs is recovering from an attack of appendicitis, and she will spend several days in Greensboro recuperating before going on duty again.

Salisbury Post, 14th: Misses Miriam Coltrane and Virginia Reed of Concord and Miss Scottie Johnson of Charlotte spent last night in the city en route to Camp Keystone. They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Hurley on West Bank street.

Everything is in readiness for the August term of Cabarrus County Superior Court, which will convene here Monday with Judge Lane presiding. Court will be in session three weeks, the first to be devoted to the trial of criminal cases and the last two to the trial of civil courses.

R.L. Burrage has sold to C.E. Burrage for $500 property on Meadow street, according to a deed filed Friday. Another deed records the sale of property in No. 11 township by the Hartsell Mills Co. to the Concord Bonded Warehouse and Realty Co. for $10 and other valuable considerations.

No session of the recorder’s court was held Friday as no cases had developed since the session of the court Monday. Police officers again this morning reported no new cases, the lull which started early in the week having continued through Friday and Friday night.

Joe C. McEachern of No. 11 township brought two watermelons to the Times-Tribune office Friday which he presented to the force. One weighed 50 pounds and one was slightly over 10 pounds. Needless to say, they were much enjoyed. If anyone can beat that, trot out their watermelons.

Baseball fans of Concord have no game here today and a number of them went to Kannapolis to see that team in action. The grandstand at the Gibson Park was demolished by the wind Wednesday night and as it has not been rebuilt, the game scheduled for today had to be cancelled. It is not known now whether the grandstand will be rebuilt this year.

Quite a large number of tourists have passed through Concord during the past several days, most of them headed toward the mountains. The highway through Concord, via Albemarle, Wadesboro and other eastern North Carolina cities has been used by many of the tourists who find this route an excellent one to the mountains.

Auto drivers are observing traffic laws at the square in better fashion now. For a time there was some confusion about the new sign, persons showing a desire to drive across the square as soon as the traffic bell started ringing. Police asked that the traffic be halted until the bell stops ringing and “GO” is flashed. Observance of this rule has eliminated the confusion noted when the sign was first put in operation.
