Following our policy of getting the best in equipment, for printing The Courier and handling the volume of job printing executed in this office, we have just installed the new and improved Bonnet-Brown electric casting box, which now makes it possible for us to cast plates from the largest mats and in short time. The office now has both the large and small electric casting boxes and also the Autocaster and Bonnet- Brown advertising services, thus enabling The Courier to give ou customers a service equal to that of any large city No expense is spar ed to keep The Courier service a breast of the times. Expert workmen and the best in type and machinery in provided to take care of The Courier's growing business. Another feature, likely not en joyed by any other small city news paper in the state, is that The Cour ier has the services of Mr. Ted A!? cock, expert artist and engraver, who can take strips of linoleum and make any size cut or type to suit the individual's taste, and especially is this service fine in supplying fine type faces of any required'size for headings in the various advertise ments. A sample this week is the head ing in a local store advertisement in which the words ''Bee Hive" are an illustration of Mr. Alcock's work. The Courier also has the Model 14 linotype, and an expert operator, fo.der, stitcher, cutter, presses and every other modern equipment for printing, and, best of all, men who know how to operate the machines and produce the best grades of printing. We let our customers do the boost ing as to our service and prices. It must be good ,as attested to the fact that our printing departments are always busy. And, in closing, we wish to express our thanks and ap-' preciation of the many satisfied cus tomers. i THE BEST IN READING MATTER. Following out The Courier's usual policy of giving its readers the best * available in reading matter, we have ■s been, for some time, carrying sev ' eral worth-™ r Mle features, and will * acid more , the future as the occa sion demands. For more than a year The Courier has published weekly articles releas ed by the State Department of Agri culture and the North Carolina Col lege of Agriculture and Engineering, which deals with timely farm topics. One farmer reported that, one such article, dealing with sweet potato culture and handling was worth pos sibly a hundred times the price of the paper last year. These farm articles appear at a time when their recom mendations can be used to the best advantage For example, this week we have three articles which deal with early spring chickens, the early garden and corn cultivation. Each o|f these articles deal with timely farm subjects and are appropriate at this time of the year. In this man ner the farmer is able to keep abreast of the latest developments as prac tised by progressive farmers and farm departments. The North Carolina Historical Re view named The Courier as one of the two North Carolina weekly newspa pers to render meritorious service in the publishing and dissemination of local history in 1929. Carefully writ ten and instructive articles dealing with all periods of the county's his-j tory appear frequently in The Cour- 1 ier. j The weekly comic strip, "Tubby 1 ' ( is fast becoming the children's fav ! | orite, and is also read weekly by a 1 1 large number of adults. Time and expense are negligible ,' factors in collecting the news for (The Courier. Every effort, is made io ! secure an accurate, readable story fon every news event in the county * 'each week. Office reporters handle ['all news of an important nature, ! while the sixty correspondents of the paper furnish all local items of ' interest throughout the rural com . munities of the county. ORDER EASTERN STAR, AREME CHAPTER NO. 125 . i On Tuesday evening, March 18th, the regular meeting of Areme Chap ter, No. 125, O. E.

McConnell manager of the local Piggly-W ig gly store and member of the A. F. and A. M. No. 381, Forest City, was into the beautiful Order Eastern Star.

Charter members: Mr. and Mrs. F. I. Barber, Mrs. Dorcas Falvey, Mrs. Ida Blanton, Mrs. Mary Marks, Miss Kate McFarland, Miss Ottilee Long, Rev. John S. Wood, Mr. J. A. Wilkie.

Mrs. Barber has for the past nine 1 years been the faithful secretary of i the chapter, which is a place that J requires a lot of work to make a : lively and up and doing chapter.

Wood, who is a past Patron of the i chapter, Past Grand Patron and Past Grand Chaplin of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina.

Town Talk r A Few Facts About Forest ¥ City Interspersed With y a Little Fun. f By TED ALCOCK. f Colds will be neglected and many breaths will reek with the smell of water this week, due to the uncanny way in which Garrett Edwards can > spot a liquor ear.

If it doesn't rain today it may tomorrow, and he always gets another guess. Second Mondays seem to be given over to the horse swappers in For est City—and they make good use of the opportunity.

The issue of ten years ago carried 32 inches of local news in eight pages made up mostly of foreign plate matter. It was hand set and poorly printed. Last week's issue had 217 inches of Forest City news alone, the balance was Rutherford county news in 16 pages. Since 1920 The. Courier has installed modern type-j setting and printing machinery and , is recognized as one of the biggest I and best weekly newspapers in the j South. * * I Summer, summer, please hurry! in, there's not a lump in our coal ' bin. |] MASTER FARMER HOLLER VISITS IN POLK COUNTY Mr. 0.
