and they were bought like the proverb
ial "hot cakes." Evidences of this
sale are seen on our streets every day,
many of our most elegantly attired
ladies being wearers of these becoming
dresses. As these garments were all
of different styles and patterns, each
person buying purchased something
different, so that milady's wardrobe
has a touch of exelusiveness not oft£n
found in the smaller towns. We call
your attention to the ad of the Forest
City Bargain store in this issue. They
are running off their stock preparatory
to moving into another building.

Not All Chaff
BJanton Biggerstsff, who is the
efficient soda jerker at Long's Drug
store, is always fixing up new decoc
tions. The other day a young lady
walked in and asked him if he could
fix up a dose of castor oil so it couldn't
be tasted. He told her he could, so he
takes a glass, "monkeys" around
awhile and then carries the "decoction"
over to the aforesaid young lady, with
the remak to "try one of our new
drinks." She partook of it and he asked
her if she tasted any castor oil about
that. She said "no." He says "well
you have drank a whole big dose of
castor oil, and never tasted it." "Good
Lord", she said, as she jumped up and
made a break for the door, "I wanted
that dose of oil for my grandmother!"
They are telling a good one on Dr. W.
C. Bostic. The other day he drove
his car up to a garage to have some
work done. One of the helpers sang
out: "'Hey, Bill! Yonr doctor's out
here with a flat tire." Bill answered:
"Diagnose the case as flatulency of the
perimeter and charge him accordingly.
Thats the way ne does biz."

va.j Journal
The Morgan ton (W. Va.) New-
Dominion says: "Philadelphia has
dispensed with spelling books in the
public schools. Every editor will agree
it is just as well."
The Howard City (Mich) Record
wants to know "if you were*ip business
and had a family of five to support
and were expected to keep a live local
paper going on a patronage from some
business houses that runs from U to
$ per month, besides paying the
help, how would you, gentle reader, go
about it?"
A.J. Houck of the fastings (Pa.)
News, says: "Heaven and hell area
long way apart, but some people try
to straddle through life with a foothold
in each place."

very wrothy with her home newspaper,
because in its writeup of her marriage
to a Mr. Yale, when it stated that
"Miss Olde and Mr Yale were married
the latter being a well-known collector
of antiques."
BUS LINE TO CHIMNEY
- } ROCK THIS SUMMER
The Morrison Transfer Co., will oper
ate a bus from Rutherfordton to Chim
ney Rock during the summer months.
All arrangements have not been made
for the service but tourists are assured
of transportation from Rutherfordton.
the nearest railway point, to the fa
mous rock. The Seaboard railroad will
sell tickels from any station direct to
the rock, the bus fare included in the
railway ticket. With the connection
that the local transfer company now
has it will be possible for tourists
traveling on the Southern to get trans
portation to Chimney Rock. A bus
from Kings Mountain connects here
with another for Rutherfordton which
in turn will probably be scheduled to
transfer its passengers at Rutherford
ton for Chimney Rock, thus making a
cpmplete route from the main line of
the Southern to the center of the re
sort region of western North Catolina.
The benefits of a bus line, regularly
operated to this resort cannot be ex
aggerated. Heretofore only those own
ing cars were able to reach the place
unless they hired cars for the trip, the
expense of doing this being more than
many could afford. With the installa
tion of the bus line which will, of
course, be much cheaper, the "Land of
the Sky" will now be open for people
of the entire state and will eventually
be the playground of thousands.—The
Cleveland Star.
