Propose Tri-County Fair
To Be Held in Rutherford
Polk and Henderson Coun
ties May Be Asked to Join
County Next Year—
Would Be Large
Affair
i
According to reports Rutherford,
Polk and Henderson may join in
next year and hold a tri-county fair
at the Rutherford county fair
grounds. It is also mentioned that
Burke and McDowell may join with
the three. The movement for a tri
county fair was started sometime
ago, and it is known that a number
of the leading citizens of the coun
ties concerned are heai'tily in favor
of the move. Neither Burke, Mc-
Dowell, Polk or Henderson counties
now hold a fair, and neither of the
counties have a fair ground or build
ings.
Delegations from some of the a-'
bove counties visited the Ruther—i
ford county fair last week, and ex
pressed themselves as favorable to
the project, and pledged themselves
to aid in bringing about a movement j
in their respective counties for such
fair. j
Some of the officials of the Ruth- i
erford county fair are doubtful if j
any of the above counties are suf-i
ficiently interested to invest monsV»
in a fair association in this county, j
while others think that if the. mat-;
.ter is properly handled at least two;
or more counties will aid in the.
movement.
In case the project is carried i
through, the citizens of Rutherford |
and other counties (interested will|
probably pool their funds and pur- j
chase the present fair ground prop-1
erty.

NAME OF J. W. LONG
PUT ON MONUMENT
Name of Young Sergeant
Who Died in Florida Plac
ed Among Those Who
Made the Supreme
Sacrifice.
The name of Sergeant James
Willie Long has been added to the
marble plate on the monument on
the east end of the plaza. Mr. T. T.
Long recently brought the matter
before the local American Legion
post and was instrumental in having
the name placed on the plate. This
makes a total of thirty-four names
on the monument, thirty-three white
boys and one negro, all of whom
were killed or died while in service
during the World War.
The name of Sergeant Long was
j omitted when the tablet was put in
place. The list of names on the mon
ument were furnished by Clarence
Griffin, collector of war records
for Rutherford county, to Dr. A. C.
Duncan and Mjss Nell Young in
1924, and the name of J. W. Long
was unintentionally left off, and no
mention has been made of it until
recently.
Sergeant James W. Long was a
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Long, of
Forest City .He was a member of
the Quartermaster Corps, and died
in Cajnp Joseph E. Johnson, at
Jacksonville, Fla., in 1918.
The monument here was unveiled
November 11, 1924. Dr. Charles H.
Stevens, pastor of the Cliffside Bap
tist church, was in charge of the
unveiling ceremony, which was a
part of the Armistice Day celebra--
tion held here at-that time.
Mr. A. G. Randall, of the Mt.
Pleasant community, called at The
Courier office Friday and renewed
his subscription to The Courier. Mr.
Randall stated that he is yet using
sweet potatoes from his 1928 crop,
and has a few left. He made over
100 bushels this year.
Mr. Roswell Hill left Wednesday

SI.OO Per Year in Advanc
Next "week-end—to be exact, Nov.
6, 7, 8, and 9—the merchants and
business men of Forest City are go
, ing to put on the greatest bargain
• event in the history of Forest City.
It is a co-operative move by all the
business firms of the city to give
real genuine bargains in an effort to
bring new business and new custo
mers to Forest City, and will give
to all coming to the city the greatest
opportunity they have ever had to
buy the very best goods at the low
est price. They are enabled to do this
by working in unison and having, the
desire to give real values. Visitors
are expected to come here from all

ing counties to take advantage of
this big bargain feast. Every business
house in the city will have genuine
bargains to offer on these big days.
! Besides the many bargains, there
will be other features to appeal to
the visitor, foremost of which will
be the big turkey contest twice daily.
Four turkeys will be released each
1 day from the roof of some business
house—two at 10 a. m., and two at
2 p. m. These turkeys will be num
bered and the ones catching them will
get a handsome prize from some store
in the city. Fuller particulars qpn
be obtained from the bills which will
be distributed throughout this and
other counties. *-
1 To give some idea of the extensive
advertising that will be done to call
attention to the big harvest sale e
vent, it can best be seen by the state
ment that, not only in addition to
the boosting given by The Courier,
the merchants will distribute over
8,000 12-page circulars taken up with
announcements of the occasion and
the advertisements of the different
merchants and their offerings. And,
again, The Courier will carry ad
vertising and further announcements
in the next week's issue. With this
tremendous publicity, there will be
no one overlooked and every one will
be fully informed as to the big mon
ey saving 'event, which is coming"
right at the time when there will be
| a tremendous demand for the .fall
and winter buying, which is just get
ting under headway. Watch for these
, and come to Forest
City next week.
Not to be outdone by the public
spirited merchants of the city, The
j Forest City Courier —Rutherford
county's biggest and best newspaper
—will make this astonishing offer
for the four days of the harvest sale:
■To every person paying one dollar
I for one year's subscription to the
I paper, we will send the paper to any
new name suggested for one year,
thus giving two full year's subscrip
tion for the extremely low price of
one dollsdr. Pay jfouir subscription
next week and send the paper to some
relative for one year free. This of
fer applies only to those living with
in the county.
