WHAT IS THE
HATTER WITH
THAT CHILD?
When children grow pale
and listless their blood
may be weak
PEPTO-MANGAN MAKES RED BLOOD
Sold by druggists in liquid
and tablet form —both the
same in medicinal quality
When your child loses color, acts and
talks without spirit, and does not play
like other children, act quickly.
If the condition is not a deep-seated
( disease but merely due to poor blood,
give Pepto-Mangan. Gude's Pepto-
Mangan is just the tonic for pale, thin
, children whose blood needs rebuilding.
It is a pleasant-tasting, simple combina
| tion of exactly the ingredients that in
, crease and enrich the blood.
j Beneficial results show almost at once
in brighter eyes, blooming cheeks, a
sprightly step, and the whole system
! made more vigorous.
Pepto-Mangan is obtainable in liquid
or tablet form, whichever proves most,
convenient. Both forms possess iden
tical medicinal qualities.
There is but one genuine Pepto-Man
gan and that is "Gude's." Ask your
druggist for "Gude's" and look for the
name "Gude's" on the package. If
it is not there, it is not Pepto-Mangan.

Forest City Graded School
Closes Successful Term
On May 7th the Forest City Graded
school will close, after a most success-
ful session
On Saturday night, May Bth, Rev.
Chambliss, of Shelby will deliver an
address in the Baptist church at 8:15
o'clock.
This school has made not only an
enviable, but an unusual record this
year. In spite of the epidemic of In -
fluenza, scarlet fever, small pox, etc.,
the average attendance has equalled
previous enrollments. Six hundred and
forty pupils have been enrolled while
there were only 631 on the census.
A record breaker for the school and
for Forest City is graduating class,
which will have twenty in it.
Next year the school will offer an
excellent course in Agriculture. Thia
i course is throngh the courtesy of the
; Farmers Bank & Trust Co., of our
j city, and will be in charge of Ex-County
Demonstrator, C. C. Proffitt.
Another good feature which is now
being worked out, is plans to accommo
date in this school, those who reside in
| adjoining districts, and, where the
1 number of pupils justify, to transport
them to and from school.
A memorial medal will be established
in this school by Mr. and Mrs. R. E,
Btggerstaff, in honor of their admirable
son, John Newton, whose tragic deaths
last year, by coming in contact with a
i live wire, was such a shock to our
people. He was a student in the Forest
City Graded school at the time of his
■ death.
Won't They Pay Us a Visit?
The Hicks Orchestra, of Chesnee,.
i S. c. gave an entertainment in the hall
l at Henrietta Saturday night, which
was greatly enjoyed by tse large crowd
' present. It was a splendid program,
i consisting of banjo solos, guitar solos*
| readings, songs and music by the Orch
estra. Dixie Hill's March, Out on Ocean
Wave, were some of the numbers, while
Turkey in the Straw and Leather
: Breeches reminded one of "Ye Olden
; Times." Hiwaiian music played on the
' guitar by Dr. W. R. Hicks was encored
| a,ain and again. Several numbers were
played by special request. A humorous
reading by Mrs. W. R. Hicks and banjo
solos of darkey songs by Mr. Z. Hicks
brought down the house. It is safe to «
say that no profeasional entertainers
have ever givan the people of Henrietta
more genuine pleasure than the Hicks
Orchestra did Saturday night.
Our people would be glad for these
high-class entertainers to pay Forest
City a visit. We all like these kind of
entertainments. A crowded house is
assured them.
