838 Shares
Have been sold in the twenty-eigth series of this Association,
and they are still selling. That means a weekly income of $202.25
from the last series alone, which will enable us ot make two $500.-
00 loans per month if we only had the 28th., to back us up. But
we have about 900 other shares, and we average making one
$500.00 loan every week. We said when we came here that we
would double the number of shares in force within a year, but
we've done it in less than six months. That's going, sbme for
Forest City. But listen friends, within a year we'll have one of the
largest Building and Loan Associations in western North Carolina.

This is the place to~invest your spare change.
Buy prepaid shares at $72.50 if you desire to invest it in lump
sums. That pays you six per cent.
You Can Buy Shares In the 28th Until February 8

Cliffside Local News —
Death of Mr. Padgett.
Cliffside, Jan. 26. —Miss Belle Allen
and Mrs. Dora Cumnock of Spartanburg
were pleasant visitors here last week.

J. R. Padgett, who was reported last
week as being seriously ill, died at his
home on North Main street last Wed
nesday morning, and was interred in
his lot in the Cliffside cemetery Thurs
day afternoon. The funeral service
was held in the Baptist church at one
o'clock, conducted by Mr. Padgett's
pastor, Rev. D. J. Hunt, assisted by
Rev. J. A. Burrus, pastor of the Metho
dist church. The Cliffside Renown
Band, of which Mr. Padgett was a
member, attended in a body and as the
casket was being placed in the hearse
the band played softly an arrangement
of "Jesus Lover of My Soul." The
band marched before the hearse to the
church and played a funeral march,
"The Last Call." Mr. Padgett was
forty-five years old the day before he
died. He leaves a wife and five chil
dren and one brother to mourn their
loss. Our town has lost one of its best
citizens. Mr. Padgett was a man of
quiet, unassuming mien, a christian
gentleman in the true sense of the word.
He seemed to realize that his days were
few from the first of his illness and
said he was ready and waiting to go.
We deeply sympathize with the sorrow
ing family and his host of friends.
Master Summie Scruggs had the mis
fortune to fall from a horse last Friday
and sustained injuries that are painful
but not necessarily serious. We hope
he will soon be out again.
Rev. D. J. Hunt attended the Mobile
School at Greensboro last week, return
ing Thursday for the funeral of J. R.
Padgett.
Mrs. D. J. Hunt and children are
spending a few days with Mrs. Hunt's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gardin near
Marion.
The heaith officers deemed it wise not
to have Sunday school or church service
of any kind last Sunday, as there are a
few cases of flu and small pox reported
in this vicinity, and you know "an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Mr. Doggett Dropped Dead
Mr. George Doggett, who lived about
two miles from Forest City, dropped
dead in his yard Monday while- shovel
ing snow. Burial services were held at
Tanner's Grove Tuesday.

Card of Thanks

A Road to Health
and Happiness.
If a person is weak, feels tired or
run down, there is no reason for re
maining in that condition if you want
to be strong and healthy. Healthy
people are the happy people. People
who always feel tired cannot be happy
and contented.
If you have that tired, weak feeling,
go to Long's Drug Store and get a
bottle of Syrup of Hypophosphites. It
is a reconstructive tonic in bronchitis,
mal-nutrition, nervous exhaustion,
emaciation and strumous skin affections.
' It aids nutrition of the structural parts
of the body and is a reconstituent and
tonic for convalescents from wasting
and debilitating diseases.
Get a bottle today and begin at once
to build yourself up. For Sale by Long

Good Health Creates an Attractive,

Admiration
Healthy People Are Happiest
Pepto-Man&an Has Put Thousands
Into the Healthy, Full-Blooded
Class
How the red-blooded, energetic, and
attractive man or woman is envied by
those who feel that it will always be
their unfortunate lot to be thin, pale,,
and weak-bodied!
And yet why continue to envy men
and women who possess a vigorous,
healthy physical condition and an at
tractive, magnetic personality': Poor
•health and lack of vitality are often
merely the result of impoverished blood.
Gude's Pepto-Mangan is for people
whose bodies suffer from lack of proper
blood nourishment. Pepto-Mangan en
riches the blood and increases the num
ber of healthy red blood cells, which
are so necessary to carry the proper
nourishment, vigorousness, and strength
to every part of the body.
Physicians introduced Gude's Pepto-
Mangan to the public because .they
knew that it contained the very proper
ties that are so sorely needed to build
up thin, watery blood, For your con
venience Pepto-Mangan is prepared in
two forms, liquid and tablet. Both con
tain exactly the same medicinal value.
Insist on the genuine Pepto-Mangan.
To be sure you are buying the genuine
Pepto-Mangan, ask your druggist for
"Gude's." And be sure the name
"Gude's" is on the package.
Among the recent visitors at the home
of J. L. Butler were Misses Bettie and
