"THANK YOU. TOWN COUNCILI" Our Town Council has Just completed a move which makes living In Kings Mountain an even more at- t' Inactive propesition than It formerly a Iwas. In 1931 the cost of w.ater tn Kings Mountain was lowered, and hi 3935 the cost of electricity came - down, hut everyone admitted that at j ^ ? minimum of $2.25 per month,, for . j W>tli, tho cost was still higher than' *. eihei nearby to'wns. Is'ow the cost has been lowered to ft minimum ?t $2.00. "Great oaks 1. from little acorns grow," tls said. $md even with a-family that uses * enly the minimum amount of wateT t v nd lights. $3.00 each year ts saved.,1' ft its estimated that the present re-1 ttuction will save Kings Mountain -c.thsena approximately $5,000 each 1 V year, which Is quite a tidy sum to 1 j o allowed on the family budget. j di IWe don't even have to take a poll L f public ?tlnton in order to sav. tor I *hr town as an entirety. "Thank frou Town Council!" f, ?? ' t< EVERYBODY PUSH M Recently a business man of Kings r< fountain took a trip to the north. Upon returning, and when asked (what impressed him most about the a grlh. came tlie answer: "The fact l( ttu.t they Very smallest' towns in the v worth boast a modern hotel." n Three, local organizations, namely, the Ltous, the Men's Club, and the Pfaertcan Legion have pledged them c waleee, to a man, tc back the move- {( sncnt. But it needs more than that. ? The citizens of Kings Mountain must () Ket back of it. talk It, and do everything within their power to reach Hie goal. Kings Mountain, the Best Town ^ Tn the State. Is (proud of the new | town hall. Kings Mountain is also , grroud of the several beautiful and snodern churches In town, and of the fact that we are on the verge - of Boasting a new post office. What will the hundreds of tourists who pane through Kings Mountain annually think when they see these oth- ? ?r structures and look In vain for a ' VBiodern hotel? g N' .THE TEN GREATEST TREES The ten trees which are most im- hi portant to mankind ? what arj a tliey?

The feud has been brewing since tben and tbe latest activity has been this: The Now Dealer has written to the editors ot the papers printing the column "suggesting" tbat - they should drop the column from their papers. The answer has been a boomerang, for most of the editor are now urging the writer to publicly spank tbe cabinet member more frequently.
