Prizes of Merit
'he $585 Ford Auto, purchased of
FOREST CITY COURIER
Enter Now and Really
a $585 Ford Auto
the B. B. Doggett Garage, is a car
you can afford to run, as well as own.
You know that some cars eat up sev
eral hundred dollars in repairs and
parts, and in slacking a thirsty ap
petite for "gas" in a few months.
Not so with a Ford—your little Ford
will ramble right along at little or
no expense. And Fords are as easily
sold as a Government Bond—easier
in fact.
Prizes Bought and on Exhibition
All prizes have been purchased
and may be seen at anytime. You
may see the Ford car at the Forest
City Motor Co., or Doggett's Garage,
Forest City; the Victrola is at the
Henrietta Mills store, Henrietta, and
the $75 worth of Merchandise is at
Efird's Department Store, Forest
City.
Not Too Late To Enter
Decidedly, it is not too late to en
ter, for the race is just in its first
stage. All it needs is a determina-
tion to win, a feeling that you are
just as capable as anyone on the list
and can get many subscriptions for
the Courier, one of the very best
small city papers in the state.
Show that you have the get-there
qualities—show your friends who
thought so well of you as to send in
your nomination, that their confidence
was not misplaced.
Candidate are reminded of the
value of systematic work. Set aside
a portion of your time to work for
the Courier prizes, and then put in
your time as if your very life depend
ed ON YOUR SUCCESS.
Your enthusiasm will be "catching"
and you will roll up votes as a con
sequence. Don't say after this cam
paign is over, "I might have won that
car"—but get to work NOW and BE
THE WINNER.

FOREST CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1919
Mrs. Caroline Dean died at her home
in Forest City Sunday morning after a
lingering illness. She was eighty-two
years old and was greatly loved and
highly respected by all who knew her.
She had lived in Forest City a number
of years and had made many friends
here.
The funeral was held from the home
on Mill street Monday afternoon. The
service was in charge of Rev. S. N.
Watson, assisted by Rev. W. F. Sta
nley. Burial took place in Cool Springs
cemetery immediately following the
funeral. Messrs. W. F. Stamey, G. F.
Settlemyre.W. S. Moss, T. R. Padgett,
E. G. Abernethy and W. J. Davis acted
as pall-bearers.
Mrs. Dean is survived by the follow
ing children: Messrs. J. K. and John
C. Dean, of Forest City; Isaac Dean,
of Woodruff, S. C.; Henry Dean, of
Hendersonville; Mrs. Lillie Saunders
and Mrs. P. B. Vernon, of Forest City,
and Mrs. J. Kelley Moore, of Cliffside.
Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ada Dean,
has made her home there since the
death of her husband some years ago.
Mrs. Dean was a faithful Christian
lady and will be greatly missed. She
had been a member of the Baptist
church 51 years. We extend our sym
pathy to the bereaved family.
Rev. B. M. Hamrick, of Rutherford
ton route 1, has been elected pastor of
the Baptist church here.
The public school started here Monday
morning and is being held in the Wel
fare house. The new building will not
be finished before February on account
of lack of material. Miss Sudie Har
ton is principal; Miss Cora Beam, in
termediate grades, and Miss Nanney,
primary grades.
Miss Frances Queen gave an enjoy
abte party at the Welfare house Satur
day evening. About 20 young people
were present and many games were
played.
The children of the village were in
vited over to Mr. Arthur Hawkins'
home Saturday evening, where they
were entertained with a number of
games. Later in the evening they met
in the dining room and had a "candy
breaking". The children had lots of
fun and went away thanking Master
Esley for the evening's fun.
The Spindale Mill No. 2 has a higher
wall than it had one week ago, as also
has the Spindale Mills addition. Work
on the Spencer Mill and school house
has been held up for lack of material.
The Henrietta Mills Stores are
getting ready to open up ''Toy
Land ' and are making attractive
prices on many lines of goods this
week. A visit to these mammoth
stores will prove interesting.

A NEWSY LETTER

Cliffside, Nov. 17. —(Special to The

Rev. N. R. Stone, noted evangelist

Those from here who attended the
meeting at Forest City Baptist church
last Friday were Rev. D. J. Hunt,
Messrs. M. J. Williams, R. L. Sparks,
E. B Jarrett and B. E. Roach. The
meeting was for the workers in the
75 million campaign, and altho the at
tendance was small the meeting was
very helpful and interesting. The good
ladies of the church served lunch in
one of the parlors. Rev. N. R. Stone
made two splendid addresses and Mrs.
Stone sang for us.
Rev. D. J. Hunt returned last Thurs
day from the convention at Raleigh
and planned to go to Henrietta to hear
Rev. N. R. Stone that night, but his
plans conflicted with some plans made
by his flock during his absence, so P. C.
Hawkins called the pastor up and said
he would like to call and talk over a
matter before he (the pastor) went to
Henrietta. He went and stayed so long
that the pastor could not get to the
service on time at Henrietta. In the
meantime a truck load of all kinds of
provisions had been left at Wilson's
store across the street from the par
sonage. A great host of people gath
ered and the Cliffside band took up it's
position in the street in front of the
house. As the band began to play the
people began to march into the house
laden with all kinds of good things to
eat. After buying everything, there
was still about ten dollars left and this
was handed to Mrs. Hunt. The church
also paid Mr. Hunt's expenses to the
convention.

to Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Davis, a daugh

many ways, but we are a happy little
bunch at Cliffside. We know one friend
whose family resides in Forest City,
but he resides in Cliffside; and for his
life he cannot sever his connection with
either place. Get in the top row, "Un

Farmer Deposits SIO,OOO
at a Clip in F. B. & T. Co.
If you don't believe it pays to farm
in Rutherford county, we cite you to
the fact that last Friday a farmer who
lives near Forest City deposited ten
thousand dollars in the Farmers Bank
and Trust Co., and all this money was
obtained for stuff raised on his own
farm. This is only one point of evi
dence that Rutherford county farmers
are prosperous.

LARGE CROWD HERE SAT
URDAY FOR CELEBRATION
Failure of Airplane to Come
Disappoints People
The armistic celebration at Forest
City which was postponed from
November 11 to November 15, on ac
count of the weather, was pulled off
Saturday in nice style, with the ex
ception of the airplane flights. Sev
eral thousand people were in town
for the celebration and the failure
of the airplane to show up was a
sore disappointment.
The Florence Mills band, Henrietta
band and Caroleen band made some
of best music ever heard here and
to a. great extent made up for the
non-apearance of the airplane.
The parade was also good. It was
composed of the three bands, Forest
City school children, boy scouts, ex
soldiers in uniform ,and well-decora
ted floats.
The failure of the airplane to be
here was a great disappointment to all
concerned, but more so to the patrio
tic citizens who arranged the celebra
tion than anyone else. They were
more than disappointed because of
the disappointment of the many out
of town visitors here.
That there was no airplane flight
is due entirely to A. R. Hayner, Jr.,
manager of the Liberty Flyers, whf>
deliberately broke a contract which
he made for the flyers to come here.
After Hayner had made a contract
to fly at F'orest City he went to Caro
leen and made a contract to fly there
at the same time he had promised
to be at Forest City. After Mr.
Stevenson, superintendent of the Hen
rietta Mills, learned the true state
of affairs, he was willing that the fly
ers should come on to Forest City
Saturday afternoon after giving an
exhibition at Caroleen, altho his con
tract called for an entire afternoon's
performance. Mr. Stevenson's' atti
tude is greatly appreciated by the
people of Forest City.
The flyers flew from Spartanburg
to Caroleen about 1:30 o'clock and
performed about Caroleen about half
an hour, a parachute jumper mak
ing a drop from the after
which they returned to Spartanburg
and were seen no more in these parts.
We understand that the Caroleen
people were not satisfied with the
performance.
The management of the armistic
celebration had gone to much trouble,
time and expense to secure an air
plane flight for the pleasure of the
people of this Lection and are sorely
disappointed that their apparently
successful efforts were undone by the
double-dealing of the airplane man
agement.
The Liberty Flyers may not be
crooks, but if they are not, they are
well camouflaged. They called them
selves the Liberty Flyers, but a
more appropriate name would be the
"Liberty Liars."
Cloyd Harrill Hurt
Cloyd R. Harrill, of Asheville, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Joe C. Harrill, of Forest
City, was seriously injured last Wed
nesday while demonstrating a tractor
for which he is salesman. The accident
occurred near Canton when the brakes
on the tractor refused to work and the
machine could not be stopped from
going down a steep grade. It ran into
a bank, throwing young Harrill from
it, breaking his right arm and bruising
and cutting him up considerably. It
was necessary to sew up two of his
wounds, taking sixteen stitches in his
head and ten in a leg. He was taken
to Canton unconscious and is now im
proving at his home in Asheville.

Card of Thanks
Mr. Editor of The Courier: Please
allow me space in our paper to, in a
small way, show our appreciation of
the kindness shown us during our
mother's illness and death, It makes
me think so much how the great author,
Rev. John Fawcett, felt when he com
posed the hymn, "Blest be the Tie."
The thought of this hymn is the best
way I know to thank the good people
of our town for the kindness shown us
in our sorrow. It would take too much
space for me to try to mention the
special ones I would like to, so I just
feel like I would like to sing "Blest be
the Tie" with everybody.
J. K. DEAN.
