LiveOrganizationWillWork
for Upbuilding of Town
and County
I Without any blare of trumpets, but
with much genuine and well directed
enthusiasm, a Board of Trade for
Forest City was organized in the
directors room of the Farrfiers Bank &
Trust Co., last Friday night. I. B.
Covington was elected president; J. H.
Thomas, vice-president; D. W. Hiott,
secretary-treasurer. These officers
with the following additional gentle
men composed an advisory board: W.
S. Moss, A. R. Beam, R. R. Blanton,
J. C. Harrill, J. F. Alexander, Jno. W.
Daniel, A. H. Long, C. C. Moore.
Meetings will be held every first and
third Monday nights. A membership
drive will be put on immediately and
it is hoped that every business man
and public spirited citizen of Forest
City will join the Board of Trade.
A constitution and by-laws has not
yet been adopted, but the purpose of
the organization will be that of any
live Board of Trade devoted to the
upbuilding of the community in which
it operates.
Let every citizen interested in the
growth and welfare of Forest City
join the Board of Trade.
Let's go!

Community Fair At
Florence Mills Village
The community exhibit held at the
community house in the Florence Mill
village last Friday and Saturday was
a great success. The exhibit was in
the nature of a community fair and
every article on exhibit belonged to
some family in the village. The dis
play was far above the average and
some of the exhibits would have taken
the blue ribbon at the state fair. The
flower show alone was well worth
seeing. The display was beautiful.
The display of garden products,
canned goods, and fancy work, would
have done credit to a county fair.
Especially interesting was the exhit
of "made over" clothing, showing how
old articles can be worked over and
made useful.
The exhibit that created most com
ment was the display of handiwork of
Mrs. McDonald. Her display of dif
ferent articles in filet crochet is
seldom equalled.
On Friday afternoon a four course
dinner was served to the stockholders
| of the mill in the dining room of the
community house.
This community exhibit was held
under the direction of the Welfare
Department of the mill.
