The local lads have been working hard under Coach Seitz and clo-e followers of the team think that the 1931 "edition" will be as good as any team that has ever represented the local high school More than forty candidates have been working hard for the team and it is certain that no one boy can count his plare as cinched. A new departure for the local team this year will be night foot ball. The first night game will be against the strong Lenoir High school coached by a local boy, Pete Moss. This game will be played September 25th. It is likely that a capacity crowd will be on hand for the open ing game as few of the fans have had,an opportunity to see a foot ball game at night. Numbers of fans who cannot get away from their work in the day will be on hand to root for the Cool Springs team. The Alex ander park is well lighted and the fans will have no difficulty in fol lowing the ball. Other night games will be Shelby, October 2nd and pos sibly Hendersonville, October 16th.

SURASKY'S OPENS ! IN FOREST CITY; | a i Doors of Big Department Store Will Be Thrown Open Thursday, Sept. 17, at 9 A. M. i An event eagerly anticipated by the Rutherford county public will be the opening of Suraskey's big department store in this city Thurs day morning, Sept. 17, at 9 a. in. Scores of workmen were rushed to finish the interior work and num bers of clerks and the manager have 1 wrought manfully to be ready for the big opening, and now announce that everything is in readiness for the big event this morning. Hun dreds from all over the county will be in attendance during the day to gTve welcome and encouragement to the new enterprise. Mr. M. Goodman, local manager, j who comes from Orangeburg, S. C.J has been here for several days com pleting the work necessary for the : opening of the new store. That Mr. j Goodman is impressed with Forest j City is attested by the fact that he» has purchased the handsome homo' occupied by Mr. Abe Glickman on' West Main street, and has come to, stay. Mr. Surasky is to be compli-' mented on his selection of a local, force of clerks, among them being Misses Merle McDaniel and Jenniei Morris and Messrs. George Carpen ter and Lloyd McAlhaney, while many extra sales people will be in attendance at the great opening sale., Mr. Surasky's enterprise and ap preciation of the merits of the local paper is attested by the fact that he has an eight page advertisement in this issue, the largest ever car- ried in the county. Mr. Surasky states that it is his, intention to carry a line of mer chandise in keeping with the town;, thst every dollars' worth of mer chandise is new and direct from the . factory. Mr. Goodman, his son-in-law , will manage the store, and has al ready bought a home in Forest City,; and will move his family here next month. Mr Surasky is not new in the mercantile business. He has had years of experience, and operated stores in Aiken, S. C., over thirty years. One of the outstanding features of this store is their determination to keep apace of the times and con- • tinually carry in stock the latest that the market affords. They spare neith er expense of time in seeing • that their stock is replete with satisfaction and that every garment offered for sale is up to the minute jn style, color, design ami fashioned to suit the most fastidious. The Surasky Department Store offers its custodiers only such good as will compare favorably with thrc sold in the best stores of this sec tion. and at prices that speak loud er than words. Another great advantage that this store enjoys is its wonderful buy ing power. Owing to the fact thur they buy for five large stores, they . purchase in large quantities and thus receive large discounts-and this they give to their many customers, whkh means a saving on each and every purchase from 15 to 25 percent greater than you can hope to save by buying your clothing and dry goods at other stores who buy only in small quantities. You should ever bear in mind the , fact that Surasky's Department Store of Forest City is here to serve you and continually carries in stock a line of merchandise that is re plete with satisfaction, and when you buy of them you have the as suiance that you have received dol 22 Pages 132 COLUMNS SI.OO Per Year in Advance I The Rutherford county fair, which is again being held by the Ruther \ ford County Agriculture Society, ! * Inc., will open on Tuesday, Septem ber 22, and will continue 1 through five days, coming to a close on Sat urday.
