We wish to call the attention
of our citizens to the alarm of
fire a few days ago, when the
home of J. Frank Godfrey
was on fire.* Many fires originate
from defective flues and roofs.
Let us all examine our roofs and
valleys near chimneys and stove
flues and see if they are defec
tive if so, better cover around
them with gravel roofing or of
common tared roofing, if nothing
else we would recomend painting
thoroughly. A fire in Clayton in
a dry time and high winds pre
vailing , would be very dis^trous
to us, more especially if started
on north main street. We ask you
us your mayor, to use precaution
and, maybe, prevent disaster to
many of us, A special^‘committee

Dixie Camp For Girls
During the late summer 1919
the management of Dixie Camp
for Boys at Wiley, consisting of
Messrs. Jameson, Sutton and Fin-
frock, interviewed the citizens
of Clayton in regard to furnish
ing them some fifty acres of land
to erect a Girls camp upon.
The matter was taken under
consideration and a favorable lo
cation was found on what is fa
miliarly known as the “Ashley
place” two and one half miles
out on the Germany (alias High -
point-BeaUmont road.) This prop
erty passed into the possession of
twenty men on the first of this
month and they are now ready
to make deed for the camp site.
This is indeed a very valuable
addition to the community, as it
will mean more summer guests
and more business for the mer
chant, dairyman, farmer and
liveryman, aside from the ma
terial benefit the moral asset will
be fine, since the management
stands for the best in everything.
Religious training is not neg
lected. The good things keep
coming as the years go by.
We very heartily welcome
these gentlemen with their new
enterprise.
