June is the month of roses. Roses that gladden the heart, delight the senses. Roses that are the fairest flower of God's creation! What can be more beautiful than a lovely, full-grown rose, exhaling the very odor of beneficence? Let us make June truly the month of roses, in more senses than one. Jurte ushers in the summer, the glad time of play and healthful occupa tion, the season 6f sport and flowers and- sun-beauty. By taking full ad vantage Sf the opportunities for beauWul living offered by the sum mer, we can make our lives as joy giving, as perfect, as a rose! We must not droop and lose color, but remain in full bloom through out the summer—alive and glowing, like the flowers in our garden. v From time immemorial poets have compared their loves to the rose. It has always been the symbol of what j ever is healthy, lovely and of good rc- j port. Let your mind dwell on the per fection of the rose, and strive for that perfection in your own life. SHUN THE PEDDLER. The summer season, now at hand, brings with it an economic- ill that annually takes a toll of thousatJds of ill gained dollars. It is the itinerant peddler, the house to hcrtise door bell ringer and those of his kind who travel, place to n place plying ftratie and imposing on the cred ulity unthinking, offering bar gains in this and that which most always turn out to be inferior merch- j andise sold at higher. prices or in j -£hori measure. It is well to beware 'bf friese fellows and the plausible stories that they tell to engage the interest and confidence of their pros . pects. They are of many varieties and with as many kinds of merchandise to sell. Inferior articles of many kinds are peddled about hither and yon dur ing the summer months. The auto mobile has been a great aid to this kind of chicanery for after he has landed a few gullible prospects a day's journey will take him far away and beyond the reach of the buyer who discovers that he has been vic timized. What better insurance can there be than buying from the home town merchant? If for any reason the article proves unsatisfactory he is ready and willing to correct the trouble and satisfy his customer. Not so with the peddler—he is gone to morrow or yet today if the chase gets too hot. He is not seeking to satisfy his customer —he is after the money alone* The home town merchant stakes his reputation and his success on his record for fair and honest dealing.' He may be found at his place ,of business day .in and day out, year in and year out. There is nothing elusive about him. When folks want support and con tributions for this and that, they know where to find him and he gives willingly and generously. Did anyone ever hear cs¥ itinerant merchant contributing a single cent for the advancement of a.local cause? There is one real way of insuring good goods at reasonable prices, one way of getting good value for the dollar expended and that is to buy of the reputable home town merchant.

MOSS TOM MOSS RETIRES FROM FURTHER CONTEST FOR HOUSE Present Representative Will Not, Enter Second Primary June 30, Against Geo. Biggerstaff * I wish to thank each one of you j for the loyal support given me in !the Primary of June 2nd. It has been said that it was I who. filed first for a second Primary. I However, all notices were filed at j the same time, viz. between 10:30 and 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, and I did not file until all candidates were present and had decided to en gage in a second Primary. I dislike very much to disappoint my friends, but due to the fact that my practice has increased to such an extent that I am unable to make the sacrifice of a second campaign, or to close my office and disregard the press of business, I am compelled to announce , my withdrawal from a further con- I test for tVie House of Representatives, i I, therefore, grant the nomination to my esteemed and respected opponent. At all times I have refrained from dealing in personalities or private af fairs concerning my opponents. I j have represented Rutherford County I for the past four years in the General j Assembly of North Carolina, and have at all times made my campaign, upon my public record. I have passed numerous laws for Rutherford County, yet I have had no person ask for the repeal of any 5 1 bill or to charge me with any class ; . legislation. I have the credit for kill -1 , ing more bills on the floor of the 7 House in the last General Assembly r , than any other member, and have " never had a local bill defeated. \ 6 I The terms of office of the County J Commissioners was reduced from six 1 years to two years by a bill drawn, 3 introduced, and passed by me, and s every Confederate Veteran and wid- B ow in Rutherford County was placed on the Pension Roll. It has been my • sole purpose to protect and relieve 5 the tax payers of Rutherford County, f In my opinion, there are certain oth f er conservative measures which t should be passed for our County, 5 such as reducing certain salaries t j and combining certain offices and I s feel sure that any legislation which f the people desire can be obtained B through their chosen representative at the coming session of the General - Assembly. f By announcing my withdrawal, I 3 do not concede defeat, but am unable ; and unwilling to make' a further sac t rifice. i Again thanking my friends and ; constituents, I remain, I Sincerely, TOM J. MOSS. • * I i Will receive a nice lot of new hats i this week. Mrs. E. E. McCurry. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, IS2B. DEATH CLAIMS CAROLEEN MAN Mr. D. M.
