Oscar Geer was born April 15,
1887, near Gilkey. He is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. A. Fred Geer. He re
iceived his education in the common
' schools, and at Round Hill Academy.
Much of his early life was spent on
his father's farm, near Gilkey. In
, 1920 he entered business in Ruth
erfordton and was a member of the
Geer-Warlick Motor Company, the
Ford agency. Prior to this he was
married to Miss Alice Keeter.
; In 1926 Mr. Geer became a can
' didate for the office of Register of
Deeds, and in the primary was given
an unusually large vote. Since that
| time he has led the ticket in each
; election, which attests to his popu
: larity among the people of Ruther
. ford county, regardless of party ? and
jto his efficiency in office,
j Mr. Geer is a member of the Bap
i tist church; secretary of the Ruth
| erfordton Kiwanis Club; member of
! the Western Star Lodge No. 91, A.
IF. & A. M., and a member of the

M. O. Dickerson.
Col. Marcus O. Dickerson was
sworn in Monday for a four years'
term as clerk of the superior court.
Mr. Dickerson is considered one of
the best officials in the state, and
recently drew from one of the state's
superior court judges the comment
that Mr. Dickerson is the most effi
cient clerk in North Carolina. Mr
Dickerson, was born November b,
1860, a son of the late Capt M. O.
Dickerson, Sr. With his father on
the battle-front during the War Be- j
tween the States, and the attendant j
disorders following the war, his edu
cational opportunities were scant,
but through sheer perseverance he
secured the equivalent of a gram
mar school education, and has let no
opportunities pass to improve it. In
young manhood he married Miss Anne
Twitty, and has seven children.
Mr. Dickerson has held this im
portant office before, and has a
first hand knowledge of how it should
be conducted. He succeeded Mr. J.
Y. Yelton as Clerk, following the
latter's death in January, 1929. He
has been honored in many other ways
and has for years been connected
with various business enterprises in
Rutherfordton. He is a member of
the Presbyterian church, a Mason,
Knight of Pythias and the Sons of
the American Revolution.
Mrs. Minnie F. Blanton.
Mrs. Minnie F. Blanton, county
treasurer, entered upon her fifth
term in this important office Mon
day. Mrs. Blanton is the widow of the
late esteemed F. R. Blanton, who
prior to his death in 1919, was suc
cessfully connected with the cafe
teria business in this county. After
the death of her husband, Mrs. Blan-1
ton continued to operate the cafe
business successfully for seven
months. She is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James T. Fortune, her fath
er having been a prominent mer- j
chant.. Mrs. Blanton received her
education in the local schools and at
Fassifern, in Asheville. She was also
at one time bookkeeper for the Flor
ence Mills in Forest City. She be
came a candidate for office of treas
urer in 1923 and has since been
nominated at each election without
opposition. Mrs. Blanton takes an
enthusiastic interest and an active
part in civic affairs. She is highly
public spirited and is a great advo
cate of progress in every solid and
constructive form, and is found at
all times willing to cooperate in any
worthy movement designed for the
moral and material welfare and prog
ress of Rutherford county and its
people.
County Commissioners.
Messrs George Blanton, A. W.
Deck and J. P. Jones, the recently
elected board of county commission
ers, took oath of office Monday. All
are business men of the highest type,
and all have made a success in their
various lines of endeavor.
Mr. Blanton, of Forest City, R-2,
is a progressive farmer, and is list
ed as one of the most successful men
in that vocation in Rutherford coun
ty. He is also a dealer in fertilizer,
and an enterprising truck farmer.
Mr. Jones has held the office of
register of deeds for Rutherford
county for a number of years, and
THE FOREST CITY COURIER. FOREST CITY. N. C.

I
j member of the old board of commis

Mr. Deck is from Logan Store
| township, and conducts a large farm
•near Logan Station (Itom), as well
las a successful mercantile business.
This is his first term as county com
missioner.
W. C. Hightower.
Mr. \V. C. Hightower, of Avondale,
entered Monday upon his third term
as Coroner. He is familiarly known
to his thousands of friehds in Ruth
erford county by the simple title
"Bill." He is the senior member of
the well-known undertaking estab
lishment of Hightower and Mathenv.
Adults Contract Children's
Diseases.
Adults can, and do, contract many
children's diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen
sive medical treatments, without re
alizing that worms are the cause of
their troubles. Yet, the symptoms
are the same as in children, loss of
appetite and weight, grinding the
teeth and restless sleep, itching of
the nose and anus ; and abdominal
pains. And, the same medicine that
surely and harmlessly expels round
and pin worms from children will
do the same for adults—White's
Cream Vermifuge, which ytfu can
get at Peoples Drug Store.
