THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, OCT. 26, 1926 THE HENRIETTA ! CAROLEEN SCHOOL j NEWS OF INTEREST! Caroleen, Oct. 26.—Wednesday evening, Misses Etta and Amanda Head, Margaret and Ella-Lynch, Hol lifield, Wilson, Eborn and Smart, gave a picnic to the teachers of the Henrietta elementary school, Central high school and a number of specially invited guests. The party met at Hotel Caroleen where a number of cars were waiting to carry them to Sulphur Springs for the evening. At the Springs, a huge bon fire was built and coffee made. Then everyone assembled around a bountiful picnic table where a delicious supper was served. Af terwards apples were passed and marshmallows were toasted. When the picnic adjourned all left declar ing the Caroleen elementary teach ers most gracious hostesses. The seventh grade gave the fol lowing safety-first program in the assembly Thursday: A plea for carefulness from the railway company—Ardath Willis. Safety scout pledge—Bill Weese. Losses by fire—Frances Burgess. Little orphan Annie's return — Ruby Neal. Play, "Safety-First"—by several pupils. We were sorry to lose Miss Etna Bridges, who was a member of the senior class. She has accepted a po sition at Rutherfordton and is also taking a business course at the Cen tral high school there. Miss Lucille Wall spent the week end with her sister, in Henderson ville. The high school boys and girls feel like they have something to do with the control of this school. Mr. Jones has asked each room to elect a representative to meet with the teachers to talk over the needs of the school. The seventh grade defeated the eighth grade in two games of basket ball last week. The seventh grade has some players who will make the high school team early in their high school life. The seniors had the highest per centage in attendance last month. THE MILLIONAIRE'S SECRET To be a millionaire, a man must not only get rich; he must be able to stay rich. A certain well-known mil lionaire, when asked how he stayed rich, said: "I invest my money only in sound, established companies." That man has learned a valuable secret. But a man's money, however, much he has, is never worth so much to him as his mind, his intelligence. Has it ever occurred to you that you should invest your intelligence just as carefully as you invest your money? Why not invest your intelligence in a sound company by subscribing to the Youth's Companion? It is the oldest magazine for young people in the world—and nearly the oldest of all the American magazines. It is also one .of the most interesting. Practically every famous author of the past hundred years has written at one time or another for the Com panion. Only this fall, for example, the Companion published a new story by Jack London. Do you like stories of adventure? Mystery? Ro mance? They are all in the Youth's Companion. Here are the terms of an invest ment guaranteed to be profitable: —The Youth's Companion—s2 issues in 1927, and 2—The remaining issues of 1926. All for only $2.00. 3 —Or include McCall's Magazine, the monthly authority on fashions. 1 Both publications, only $2.50. THE YOUTH'S COMPANION S N Dept., Boston, Mass.

Morrow's book, "Then and Now" is expected from the press by December Ist. This book deals with an interesting period of Rutherford county; that of 1856- '65, and is written by a man who is in possession of first-hand informa tion. The book is being printed now by the J. W. Burke Co., of Macon, Ga., and will be from press by December Ist. It will contain more than 400 pages, 51 chapters and will be pro fusely illustrated. The scenes are « practically all laid in and around Forest City, and th 6 old Morrow farm, two miles below Forest City. It deals with the decade 1856-'65. This story ran in The Forest City Courier last year and attracted much attention, not only in the county, but over various portions of the na tion. The following letter, received from Prof. Clyde A. Erwin, county sup erintendent of public -instruction, has this to say: "I have just read your reminis cence, 'Then and Now', with a great deal of interest and profit. Your idea of preserving the early history of this county, and Sit the same time comparing customs with the present day is very good indeed. Also it is highly important that the rich lore of the country be preserved for pos terity by one that is possession of first-hand information rather than our early history should be legen dary. I consider that your effort is a distinct contribution to the life and history of the county. "The characters illustrating cus toms, habits and existing in 1860-'65, and between the north and the south are so vividly depicted that the reader lives over again the dark days of the Civil War, yet the whole story is spiced with romance which keeps both old and young readers interested and thrilled to the end." These books will be for sale at ( The Courier office as soon as they come from the press. They will also be offered on a clubbing list with The Courier. It is expected that many thousands of these books will be sold the first year after publication. Many advance orders have already been placed with the author, Mr. Morrow. SUNSHINE ROAD BEING GRADED AND EXTENDED Two crews of sixty men each, and eighteen teams are employed at pres ent grading the Sunshine road and completing the new short route from Forest City to Morganton. One bridge crew of eight ment are also at work on this project. This work is under the supervision of the Rutherford County Board of Commissioners. When completed, this new route will shorten the distance between here and Morganton approximately 12 miles. A movement to secure this road was agitated by the local Ki wanis Club and a number of county citizens more than a year ago. The road is to be 24 feet wide and will be top-soiled. The road is well graded, and many of the curves have been eliminated. This new route is a connection be tween routes 19 and 20. Beginning at the South Carolina line, it extends through Floyd's Creek section and Alexander to Forest City, and from Forest City through the progressive sections of Sunshine, Bostic, Golden Valley, South Mountain and to Mor ganton. It is expected that work will be completed on this highway by the first week in December.

I j The hunt was very successful, four j 'possums being caught. | B. B. DOGGETT SELLS FORDS. 6,000 Remarkable! The other day I was talking over the "good old days" with a representative from the Goodyear factory—We sell their tires, as most people know. He told us about a tire they have in the factory museum back at Akron. It was made in 1912. It ran 6,000 miles, was used in show windows all over the country and finally placed in the museum. 6,000 miles was remarkable mileage in 1912.. Think tfyat over. you expect —and get —double and triple that mileage. And here's something else to think over—and act upon. That 6,000 mile-tire cost its owner between two and three times what it would cost him today. And that goes for every other tire size. Now, I can sell you a long-lived Goodyear Balloon with its com fort, economy and safety at less than half the price of the old. short-lived, hard riding, high-pressure tire. Come in and Make us prove it. Forest Gity Motor Co. Phone No. 98 Forest City, N.
