FOREST CITY COURIER
t
The above cartoon, by our fellow townsman, Mr. Kynard Baynard, was inspired by the winning of the state
championship by the Forest City High School baseball team. 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..

P. Jones, a candidate for commission
er, states that he will enter a sec
ond primary. Four candidates are

primary. An increase of more than
1,200 votes over the 1926 primary
was polled. ,
The vote for state officers will be
found elsewhere in this paper.
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.
NEW ICE CREAM STORE
The Blue Bird Ice Cream Store
was opened in the building next door
to the Farmers Bank last Friday. Mr.
J. J. Kee, formerly of Chester, S.
C., is local manager. The store is a
branch of the Spartanburg firm. Mr.
Kee reports a good business for his
initial week in this city and all in
dications are that the firm will pros
per in Forest City.
WOODLAND PARK OPENS TO
DAY
Mr. Lee G. McMurry, manager of
Woodland Park Swimming Pool, an
nounces this week that the swimming
pool will open today for the 1928
season. While the weather has con
tinued rather cool, he thinks that
it will be warm enough for the op
ening today. The pool has been re
sanded, drained and is in a sanitary
condition. Mr. Lee Stalnaker will
serve as life £uard again this seas
on. A large crowd is expected for the
opening.
