RUTHERFORD COUNTY JERSEY
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
BRINGS IN HIGH CLASS
JERSEY MALES.
The Rutherford County Jersey
Cattle Breeders Association, which
consists of Watkins, M£. Pleasant
and Union Mills communities, has
recently completed the arrange
ments to bring in three unusually
good jersey males from the Wash
ington Jersey Farm at Portsmouth,
Ohio. These animals are of excel
lent breeding and from dams pro
ducing around 600 lbs, butter fat.
The Washington Jersey farm* has
one of the best herds in America,
and the bulls that are being brought
to Rutherford county are from some
of the best cows in that herd. These
animals are costing $333.33 each, F.
O. B. Portsmouth. This sounds like
a long price to the average farmer,
but when we consider the breeding
and individuality of these animals
S4OO each would not be a long price
for them.
These three communities ,Should
certainly be commended on taking
th ; s step. As a community proposi
tion these bulls are costing the in
dividual very little and they will be
worth thousands of dollars to these
communities. Mr. Brintnall of the
State Dairy Division who helped se
lect these bulls, makes the state
ment that they are as good as there
is in North Carolina.
Thji is only a beginning, it s hop
ed that other communities will fol
low this exampple until there are
good purebred cows in every com
munity in the county. The Ruther
ford County Breeders Association is
ready and anxious to receive other
communities at any time.
Is your community doing any
thing towards better livestock?
WALLS NEWS NOTES.
(Intended for last week.)
The Sunday school at Walls was
reorganized on last Sunday or rath
er the old enrollment wa3 thrown
away, and a new started with the
first of the year. Forty pupils were
enrolled.
We regret to announce that our
pastor, Rev. I. D. Harrill has resign
ed and will not be with us during
1920. However, we are glad to say
that we will have Rev. Z. D. Harrill
of Ellenboro. Rev. Z. D. Harrill was
pastor of Walls church for sixteen
years at one time and it goes without
saying that his services were satisfac
tory.
The Walls school is progressing
nicely under Mrs. N. Lloyd Hampton
and Mifcs Bailey. A large attendance
speaks well for the teachers.
Mrs. B. B. Melton who has been
seriously ill for some time is still
very sick. Her many friends would
be glad to see her recover.
Misses Oxie and Estrige Bridges
gave a singing at their home Sunday
afternoon which was largely attend
ed and greatly enjoyed.
Miss Jean Pannell who is in school
at Boiling Springs spent the holidays
at home.
WE WANT IT RIGHT.
In getting so many new subscrib
eers to The Courier during thee past
few weeks it is quite likely that a few
mistakes were made as to initials,
spelling of names, postoffice address,
etc. If your name or address is in
any way incorrect on our list please
notify us. Some of those who sub
scribed more than once may also be
getting two papers. If so, please no
tify us so that we may give you one
two-year subscription instead of send
ing you two papers one year.

SEVENTY YEARS OLD, DRIVES
Mrj. Wm. Upton on Cross Country
Tour makes own Adjustments.
On her return trip, Mrs. William
Upton, the seventy year old woman,
who alone drove a Ford runabout
from San Francisco to New York
City visited the Ford Motor Com
pany's main office. She was intro
duced to the officials of the Com
pany, was photographed, held in
her hand a Ford check worth two
figures of millions, recounted the
experience she had encountered on
her trip, and before leaving made
arrangements for securing a new
Ford car immediately upon her re
turn to her home in Bakerfield, Cal
ifornia.
Mrs. Upton has already driven
her present Ford more than 22,000
miles, 7,000 of which were driven
since she left SanFancisco May 11,
the longest day's drive being 160
miles. At Springfield, Illinois, Mrs.
Upton!* birth place, she plans to
dispose of the care and after vis
iting her many friends there, will
return home via rail.
j When commenting on her trip
she said that in making the drive
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it
had not been her purpose to follow
a direct line of travel, but to visit
the most cities and places of inter
est. She visited the Petrified Forest,
spent several days in the National
Capitol, drove to Mount Vernon,
viited the site of the Rattle of Get
tysburg, and then after touring to
some of hte Atlantic Coast Cities,
made her way to New York.
She experienced practically no
trouble with her car, although she
pointed out the fact that she under
stands the Ford motor and made
her own adjustments. Before leav
ing the Ford Company, Mrs. Upton
expressed the hope that her next
Ford, propably another runabout,
will be equipped with a Ford star

Pickens, S. C., visited at the home of
his brother-in-law, Gordon Moore, near
here last week. He was much sur-
prised at the rapid growth of Forest
City during the past year.
Buying Advertised Goods
Merchandise that is advertised
moves much faster than that which is not,
and therefore the stock is kept new and up-to-date.
There are* no shopworn, slow sellers to be disposed of in the
store that keeps the advertising columns at work selling goods.
And you can always depend upon the
quality of advertised articles. The merchant's
reputation is back of his merchandise and he cannot jeopard
ize it by misrepresenting his goods even the least bit
Furthermore, the dealer's newspaper an
nouncement usually offers money-saving bargains,
and every thrifty person should take full advantage of such
opportunities. Read the advertisements today.
