Cliffside Local News —
Funeral of Mr. Hughes
Cliffside, Feb. 24.—We have several
cases of influenza in town, but none of
them are very serious so far that we
know of.
Miss Belle Allen arrived last week
and is in charge of the millinery depart-
ment of the Cliffside Mills store. Miss
Allen has been milliner here for sever
al seasons and has a host of friends
who are always glad to welcome her.
•L. A. Hughs was buried here in the
family lot in the Cliffside cemetery last
Wednesday. Mr. Hughes had been in ill
health for several years and has been
gradually growing worse for a long
while. He was at one time superinten
dent of the Cliffside Mills and had a
great many friends in this section of
the state who learn of 1 his death with
sincere regret. Mr. Hughes leaves a
son, Clarence D. Hughes who resides
here, and two brothers, A. C. Hughes
of Woodruff, S. C., and J. Y. Hughes
of Whitney, S.C. The funeral was con.
ducted from the home by Mr. Hughes,
pastor, Rev. J. A. Burrus of the M. E.
church, assisted by Rev. D. J. Hunt.
Mrs. Dora Cumnock, of Spartanburg,
took charge of the girls' home Monday.
Mrs. Cumnock needs no introduction to
the people of Cliffside. She at one time
conducted the Cliffside hotel and has
many friends here who gladly welcome
her back to our town.
J. C. Roach, of Harris, R-l, visited
his son, B. E. Roach, here last week.
R. V. Bland, manager of the spinning
department of the mills, went to Char
lotte last Tuesday for an operation for
appendicitis. He is reported to be
doing fine. We hope for his speedy
recovery.
B. E. Roach attended the funeral of
his uncle, Mr. Newton Roach, who died
at his home in Gaffney last Saturday
and was interred in the Oakwood ceme
tery Sunday afternoon. Mr. Roach was
born near Shiloh church in this county.
He was one of ten children, a son of
John and Harriet Roach, a brother of
J. C. Roach, of Harris R-l, who is the
youngest of the ten children and the
only survivor. The funeral was con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. Sydney
Hamrick.
Miss Mary Dickerson of Rutharford
ton passed thru Cliffside Monday en
route to Charlotte, where she has ac
cepted a position with one of the banks.
News From Alexander
The "flu" in our little town has taken
its flight to parts unknown, we are glad
to report. Most .of those who had it
are back at work and the others are
convalescent. We hope it does not
head this way again.
Alexander Manufacturing Company
are building a sand clay road that con
nects our town with the main road near
the C. C. &O. railroad crossing. The
"Old Road Builder," J. S. Walb is in
charge of the work. That means that
in a short time we will have a first
class road direct from Forest City to
Caroleen right in our front yard. The
new road will be a great couvenience,
not only to Alexandrians, but to all
"autoists," as it shortens the Forest
City-Caroleen road considerably.
Our town is still undergoing improve
ments. Every street is lined on each
side with pecan trees. In a short time
we will have, not only shaded streets
and walks, but some of the most deli
cious nuts that can be found, as these
are the best paper shell varieties.
It seems that there has been a "hail
storm" of grafonolas and talking ma
chines here. If one gets out of hear
ing of one of these he has to get out of
town; but as all have a nice collection
of records they are quite pleasing to
the ear.
Among the visitors this week is Mr.
Durham Moore from Shelby, who is
visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Moore.
We were glad to see A. W. Wood and
daughter in town Sunday, attending
our church services. Come again.
A crowd went down to Shelby Mon
day night to hear Dr. A. C. Dixon give
his lecture, "The Horrors of the War."
Mrs. S. B. Tanner Dead
Mrs. S. B. Tanner, of Charlotte, died
Sunday morning at Fort Meyer, Fla.,
where she was visiting. Death was
due to heart failure. She was fifty-five
years of age and is survived by husband
and the following children: Kenneth
S. Tanner, of Rutherfordton; Bobo and
Spencer Tanner and Miss Sarah Tanner.
The news is received with much sor
row in this county, where she was well
known, her husband being prominently
identified with the textile industry here.
FOREST CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1920
Forest City to Have
A Hardware Store
The Forest City Hardware Company
is Forest City's newest enterprise.
Plans for the company have been under
way for some time, but the lack of
store room space has prevented an an
nouncement sooner. The store room
now occupied by S. S. Horn will be
used by the new company just as soon
as the new Horn building is remodeled,
and their stock of goods removed, which
will be about April 1.
The Forest City Hardware Company
will be operated by A. B. Flack and
son Charles. These gentlemen are old
residents and well known in the county.
Mr. A. B. Flack has been engaged in
farming for several years, but during
the last twelve months has been special
assistant to C. E. Tanner in the reval
uation of the county property. Mr.
Charles Flack is a prominent and enter
prising young business man of the town.
He is now with the J. D. Lineberger
Hardware Company of Shelby, but will
return to the new business about the
first of May.
This will be good news to the people
of Forest City and surrounding county,
who have felt the need of a hardware
store such as Messrs. Flack will operate.
Please note that the Forest City,
High Shoals, Mt. Pleasant, Caroleen,
Henrietta, Cliffside singing convention,
which was to have met with the Cliff
side choir on Sunday, March 7, 1920,
has been postponed indefinitely on ac
count of the epidemic of influenza,
small pox, etc., in the different towns
where members of the convention live.
We regret to do this, but it seems best
to all with whom we have discussed the
matter. We will arrange a new date
as soon as is deemed advisable, and will
announce same in the papers.
W. E. OWENS, President.
W. J. DAVIS, Secretary.

Singing Postponed
Lovelace's Sentence Com
muted to Thirty Years
Governor Bickett has commuted the
death sentence of Dennis Lovelace to
thirty years in the state penitentiary.
Lovelace killed his father-in-law, H. E.
Edwards, in Rutherford county in Sept
ember, 1918.
In commuting Lovelace's sentence
from death to 30 years, Governor
Bickett reiterates his belief in the death
penalty and disclaims any purpose to
make it inoperative. He is backed in
this clemency by the solicitor, by Jus
tices Brown and Allen, of the supreme
court, by 11 of the 12 jurors who tried
the case. The judge who presided does
not oppose commutation, though he
says he must change his mind if he asks
for another. There are doubts of pre
meditation and deliberation.
Mrs. Morris Dies Suddenly
Forest City received another severe
shock Monday when it was learned that
Mrs. J. G. Morris had died suddenly
from heart failure. Only a few min
utes before her death Mrs. Morris com
plained of having a severe headache
and went to bed where her husband
found her dead when he came to dinner
about twelve o'clock.
Before her marriage Mrs.
Miss Mary Sue Goforth, of Union Mills.
She was thirty-two years of age and is
survived by husband, four children and
three step-children. She was a devout
member of the Baptist church and de
lighted in working for her Master's
cause.
The Morris family moved here about
ten years ago, Mr. Morris conducting a
feed store here. It is a sad coincidence
that Mr. Morris also found his first wife
dead under similar circumstances.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon
by Rev. S. N. Watson, assisted by
Rev. D. J. Hunt, after which burial
took place in Cool Springs cemetery.
Local Bottling Com
pany In New Home
The local Coca-Cola bottling company
moved last week into its own new home
on Depot street, and is now turning out
bottled soft drinks in the fastest and
latest manner.
The new plant of this bottling com
pany reprlfeents an investment of about
$40,000 and is the last whisper in bot
tling machinery. It has a capacity of
sixty bottles a minute, and from the
time the bottles are put into the giant
cleaner, where each bottle gets twenty
two separate washings, until they are
put into crates ready for shipment they
are untouched by hutoan hands. The
power used is electricity and compress
ed air and everything is Automatic and
very interesting to watch at work.
When the Coca-Cola plant was first
established here thirteen years ago a
2-horsepower gaaoline engine furnished
ample power. Now it takes eight
motors totaling 38 horsepower to oper
ate the plant.
F. I. Barber has been the efficient
manager of the plant since its establish
ment here and its rapid and constant
growth is mostly due to him.

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
