We are sure our readers will appreciate his offering. Dr. R. L. Reinhardt, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Kiwanis Club, stated this morn ing that full plans for the banquet for the team have not yet been made. However, details and the date will be announced next week. The election, the Chautauqua and other things seem to have caused a few to overlook the "honor roll," start ed by The Courier last week, in which subscriptions were solicited for our champion team. Since the pub lication of the donors last week, only three have responded, as follows: R. L. Brown, $1.00; W. L. Calla han, Asheville, 50c; R. H. Hoegner, Chicago, 50c. Total amount subscribed, $21.00. Of this amount, $4.00 was used to purchase cut for the above cartoon.

CHAUTAUQUA IS COMING NEXT YEAR Ladies of the Woman's Club and Kiwanians Insure Re turn of the Great Edu cational Feature | Owing to the gdod work of the I Woman's Club, the Kiwanians and | other public spirited citizens, Forest City has secured a return engage ment of Redpath Chautauqua. The requisite number of tickets being pledged, thirty of our citizens sign ed the guarantee last Monday. The chautauqua this year worked under unfavorable conditions, fol ing so closely the winning of the state championship by our local high school team, rain, the election Satur day and other things. However, the attendance was good and the ladies put over the ticket sales with- a small amount of profit. It was a little harder than usual this year to get the usual co-operation in signing pledges for the return of the chautauqua, but due to the great work of the la dies and many of our business men, the task was accomplished. Some say the program this year was not up to standard, bqt are hardly justified in this stand. Many numbers alone were worth the en tire price of a season ticket, and while some other programs might have pleased a greater number, it cannot be said with justice that there was any considerable falling off in the quality of the program over other years. It might be said that any dis satisfaction was brought about by Conditions rather than any deterior ation in quality. Mr. R. E. Meiners, the superinten dent, did everything in his power to make the stay of the chautauqua one of pleasure and pi'ofit, and displayed a courteous and accommodating spir it throughout. He left for Newport, Tenn., Monday, after having attend ed to the matter of getting the city signed up for next year.. farmer of the Harris community and was well known and beloved by a large number of people of Ruther ford county. He was a member of the Methodist church, where he took a prominent part in the affairs of the church. | 20 Pagt. . | I 120 COLUMNS I SI.OO Per Year in Advance TEN CANDIDATES ARE ENTITLED TO SECOND PRIMARY Commissioners, Sheriff, Legis lature and Recorder May Demand Second Race June 30 As The Courier goes to press in dications are that there will be a sec ond primary.

BUILDING ACTIVITIES It may be quiet in some places, but Forest City is going steadily along with its building activities. Work on both the new theatre and city hall is under way, both of which will prove handsome additions to the city. Huntley & Wilkins have begun the erection of a new brick garage build ing and filling station on Main street, near the present quarters of the Huntley Motor Co. The building is to be 50x80 feet, of one story and basement and to be especially adapted to the automobile business. The filling station, directly on the corner and separate from the garage, is to be of beautiful design. These new buildings will add much to that section of the city, which is fast building up. A new pressed brick bungalow of handsome appearance is under way on Broadway. This structure is being built by Mr. M. J. Harrill, who never does anything by halves. A number of other residences are under way over the city, which con tinues to show a steady growth. Quite a few of our best informed business men are of the opinion that Forest City will acquire the much needed new hotel before the year is out. OFFICE BUILDING BEING REMODELED Spindale, June 4.—The Spindale office building is being remodeled in side this week. The various mill of fices will be moved upstairs and the first floor will be used for the post office and the bank. The changes are being made in order to give the post office larger quarters.
