Singing Convention
The Forest City-Mt. Pleasant-High
Shoal-Henrietta-Caroleen-Cliffside sing
ing convention met with the High
Shoals choir last Sunday afternoon.
However, on account of rushed work
ing conditions only three of the choirs
were present, viz.: Cliffside, High
Shoals and Forest City. All three choirs
did themselves justice in their good
singing, much to the delight of the
large audience present. Several solos,
duets and quartets were rendered by
the different choirs. After the three
choirs had sung, several congregational
songs were sung by everybody with
Prof. W. B. Blanton at the organ and
Prof. W. E. Owens directing. Messrs.
Blanton, Owens, Roberts and Owens
also rendered some special quartets
which were greatly enjoyed.
The next meeting of this splendid or
ganization will be held with the Cliff
side choir the first Sunday in March,
1920. Let all the choirs be present at
the next meeting and make it the best
ever held. The singing will commence
at 1:30 in the afternoon and will con
tinue indefinitely. There will be some
special songs and also some congrega
tional singing. It is the object of this
convention to make better church and
Sunday school music, and also to en
courage more congregational singing.
Let everybody do their best and let's
show the public that good music is es
sential to good church services. Re
member the time and place and be pre
pared. Songfully yours,
W. J. DAVIS, Secretary.

Interesting Letter From
Asheville Concern
The following letter has been receiv
ed by the Board of Trade from Ellis &
Beadles, a big Asheville concern deal
ing in soda fountain supplies. Mr. R. L.
Ellis and N. N. Beadles of this firm are
well known in Forest City. They are
ftie principal owners of the local Coca-
Cola Co. and their faith in our town is
shown by establishing here one of the
finest bottling plants in the South.
Board of Trade,
Forest City, N. C.
Gentlemen: We thank you for the
marked copy of Charlotte Sunday Ob
server. We feel that Forest City has
done herself proud in more ways than
one. The full page ad is splendid, and
the spirit that prompted the advertise
ment is even better.
We have faith in the future of Forest
City and our recent investment is proof
of our good wishes for a bigger and
better Forest City.
Good advertising helps a town just as
much as it does a business, and a little
more of the same would be a splendid
investment for the town.
Asheville, as you know, has a well
organized Board of Trade, and spends
big money each year in letting other
people know what a wonderful city we
have, and the results are worth all the
money it costs.
With our best wishes for the success
of Forest City, and again thanking you
for the paper, we are,
Yours very truly,
ELLIS & BEADLES,
By N. N. Beadles.
Asheville, Dec. 8, 1919.
