FOREST CITY
STEADILY GROWING
Many Handsome Homes and
Business Houses Going Up
—Bright Future.
Forest City is steadily maintain-
i£2. its proud position of being the
fastest growing town of its size in
the state, this record being made
last year. There is no place in the
state offering superior advantages.
Forest City is one of the very few
cities in the state having three
great railroads —the Seaboard, the
Southern and the C. C. & o.—thus
providing unexcelled shipping facili
ties. The labor situation in Ruther
ford county is the best to be found
anywhere. Our big cotton mills are
manned by pure Anglo-Saxon blood,
?>&0 per cent American. We r\re free
of the baneful influence of socialistic
foreigners.
Forest City, centrally located in
one of the best counties in the rta.e.
has many advantages that appeal to
the stranger. It is enjoying a
steady growth and has a bright fu
ture.
Building permits for the last 12
months called for an expenditure of
over $350,000. There is quite a lot
oi" building going on now, and for
the future there are prospects of
even a greater building program. The
coming year gives promise of a
handsome new hotel and another new
cotton mill, not to mention scores
of residences and business houses.
Some of the more recent additions
to the city are the handsome new
home of T. R. Padgett, just recently
occupied, and one of the best
equipped and most modern and call
ing for a lavish outlay in building
costs.
Mr. B. B. Doggett is fast com
pleting a handsome new home on
West Main street that is a credit to
v. he owner and an asset to the city.
Mr. J. F. Weathers is fast com
pleting the erection of his new brick
residence on West Main. He is spar
ing no expense to make this a com
plete home in every rspect.
Another residence that will add
much to that section of the city is
the handsome brick bungalow being
completed on West Main by Mr. C.
M. Champion.
The Alexander Memoihrl building
by the Baptists is now under way.
This memorial to the late J. F. Alex
ander, will cost $65,000.
The three story brick business
house on Main street, next to Horn's
is rapidly approaching completion.
This business house is being erected
by the Cyclone Auction Co.
Ground was broken last week for
another business house. Mr. B. H.
Wilkins will build a two-story brick
building on the lot opposite The
Courier office on Main street. Mr.
W. L. Horn and Mr. T. R. Padgett
are contemplating building houses
adjoining this propeity at an early
Jkite.
Some idea of building operations
can be gained by a glance at the fol
lowing building permits, issued dur
ing the months of April and May:
Van Watkins, Arlington street, six
rooms, $4,500.
J. T. Gilbert, Carolina avenue, ga
rage repairs, $25
Mrs. Maggie Mauney, Cherry Mt.
street, repairing, etc., $l5O.
C. L. Spikes, North Church street,
additional room, S2OO.
W. O. Tate, Big Springs Avenue,
five room house, $1,300.
E. O. Thomas, East Main street,
garage, $250.
C. M. Champion, West Main street,
seven room dwelling, $7,500.
Miss Wilda Queen, Carolina Ave
nue,- five room house, $2,500.
J. F. Weathers, West Main street,
eight room house, $7,500.
J. D. Parris, Broadway, four room
house, SI,OOO.
A. A. Street, Butler street, re
pairs, S2OO.
Baptist church, new Sunday school
building, $65,000.
Forest City has much to offer to
the investor or home-seeker. The
Courier almost daily answers letters
of inquiry about our little city, from
persons in various places, seeking
better business locations or homes.
With the advent of the new hotel,
Forest City will show an even greater
growth.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY
GARDENING AND DAIRYING
Chimney Rock, June 14.—Just as
Western North Carolina has been
enjoying in recent years a steadily
increasing tourist and home-build
ing business, just so is the old time,
necessary industry of farming keep
ing abreast of present-day growth.
Not many years ago a farmer from
eastern North Carolina would have
said that agriculture in this section
looked like starvation, but not so to
day.
People all over the country have
abandoned the idea that farming
consists only in tilling the soil, and
particularly is it true that farmers
of the mountainous section are now
wide awake to the possibilities in
dairying, market gardening, poultry
raising, etc., where the conditions,
climatic and otherwise, are most
favorable.
No section in this entire part of
the country more adapted to market
gardening and dairying can be found
than the Chimney- Rock district
which lies in the course of the ther
mal belt. Due to the absence of frosts
in this particular section, flowering
plants and vegetation generally are
approximately two weeks earlier than
in other sections of Western North
Carolina mountains. Though it is
true that Lake Lure in the property
of the Chimney Rock Mountains,
Inc., is being created primarily for
resort purposes, it will help temper
the atmosphere with somewhat the
same effect as a gulf stream, and
therefore will help to lend to this
section those conditions which will
be a great asset to the agriculturist.
A sudden demand for vegetables
and truck has sprung up with the ad
vent of hundreds of workmen em
ployed on the vast improvements go
ing forward here. More than 500
people are employed on the dam, the
scenic highway, the hotel and other
buildings going up to create the town
of Lake Lure, the population of
which is expected to reach the
thousand mark before fall.
The old wood stove should be put
away for the summer and the oil
stove cleaned up for hot weather
use. Farm women have learned that
they can be cooler in the kitchen
by using the oil stove.
