Chester Reporter, Nov. 30: We un-
derstand that the Monroe Hardware
Co., of Monroe, n. c., has about con-
cluded all arrangements for opening
branch (wholesale) in Chester. 1t is
likely that the new concern Will be
located in the quarters in the CROSBY
building on Gadsden street now used
for cotton storage purposes. Mr.. Frank
L. Marshall, who went to Monroe re-
Gently to work for the Monroe Hard
ware Co., will have charge of the ware
house here when the Chester branch is
opened. d........-.... Chester will have no
football game tomorrow for the first
Thanksgiving Day in several years,
but that will not keep some of the
fans from seeing game, as n goodly
number will accompany the Chester
team to Shelby n. c., while others cX-
pect to go to Clinton and see the
L. C.-Newberry game...--....The Chester
High School football team will play its
last game for the season Thanksgiving
Day at two p. m. with the strong

successful. Shelby made nice finan-
cial offer for the game, and will come
here next fall for a return game.
Shelby was in the. championship fight
in North Carolina until few days
ago when eliminated by Monroe.
