The streets and principal thoroughfares of Kannapolis were fairly well isolated Thursday night. It was Kannapolis Day at the County Exposition at Concord and every Kannapolian and his mother-in-law seemed to be among those present. The attendance is thought to have broken all records of former days. There have been years when the size of the fair has been noticeably greater, but the quality of the present exhibits, nestled in the rea of the fairgrounds, compare favorably with those of former years.
Bill Watson, local boy, is slated to go four rounds with Kid Conway, age of the show company, in the final athletic program Saturday afternoon. Widenhouse, Messimer and Elliott, also of Kannapolis, are expected to disport their wares Friday night.
It is estimated that one out of every five persons residing in Kannapolis attends Sabbath school at the local churches. This is a lean record for the Towel City. A population of 10,000, and one-fifth, or 2,000 enrolled in the Sunday schools.
The meeting of the high school basketball candidates, scheduled for this afternoon has been postponed until Monday afternoon. Coach Clement Smith, instead of the athletic association president “Mutt’ Widenhouse, will preside.
Miss Marville Blackwelder, charming young society matron of Gastonia, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Graham.
James Wiseman, who underwent recently an operation at the Charlotte hospital, is convalescing.
