COURIER I Huntley-Wilkie ' ! Reunion Held ■ V Rutherfordton, R-l, Sept. 22. — | The Huntley-Wilkie reunion was j held at Shiloh Baptist church Sun ! day, and was attended by a large ; number of members of the two fam ilies.

The story he told was that he was hit over the head and held up by an acquaintance from Forest j City by the name of Frank Newton, j Saturday night Asheville officers j came here and carried the Shelby ; Frank Newton back to Asheville ! with him. At the jail there when I Newton appeared Croston said he j had never seen Newton before when • officers brought Newton in without j telling Croston who he was. New ; ton was then freed and returned to | Shelby by the Asheville officers, j Newton's father-in-law, Gordon ! Young, of Albemarle, was in Ashe ! ville Monday checking up on the j affair and he 'earned that Croston | had told several contradicting ] stories of the alleged hold-up. The j Newton who did it, Croston told Mr. |\oung, was a former employee at' j the Alexander mill at Forest City, j j Questioning there revealed that no i J man by that name had ever »worked 1 j there. Just why the service station: man picked out that name is not! known, one theory being that some ; one with him might have known thel Shelby man and used his name as a blind. j f "" FOREST CITY MEN ENGAGE IN SHELBY KNIFE FIGHT j Shelby, Sept. 22.—Three men, two j j white, are in the Shelby hospital and • , two others were carved up in cutting | affairs and brawls in Shelby and over J Cleveland county during the week- 1 j end. | i None of those injured is consid -1i•• # # ' ered in serious condition but the, | epidemic of knife battles, particu i larly Sunday evening and night, 1 | gave officers, surgeons and physi ] cians considerable activity.

North Carolina farmers have an other opportunity to economize and use home grown products in place of imported materials by building a fence without nails from wood found on the place or in the State. "It will interest many North Caro linians to learn that Wright Shaw ol Blandenboro has been building a fence entirely of wood without the use of nails," says R. W. Graeber, extension forester at State College. "During the past two years Mr. Shaw has cut and shipped 18 miles of this fence to Pensylvania farm ers. If these men have found the idea worth while, it looks as if our home people should also see some good in it. Mr. Shaw builds his fence with juniper posts that should last for at least 20 years and juniper rails that should last a lifetime." In making this fence, explains Mr. Graeber, Mr. Shaw uses half-round ; juniper rails and mortised juniper posts. The fencing is built in three, four and five rail heights. The five • rail fence is adapted for bull pens ! where heavy construction is neces ; sary. When this type of fencing is j put up, it is practically a perma ! nent structure. It is easily set up I with no nails, no stretching, or any ; special equipment needed in its i erection. i Throughout North Carolina there i i rajaraJHfarararararararafarara jHfHJEfHJEJBJEiEJErarEraiHJBitLrErEiErajgjHJEjEizfEJBJEJBJHiZJEJEfHJHfHiiJEJZJErEizizrHJiS 1 FASHION SHOW | Cliffside Mills Store 1 Thursday, September 24th 1 I AFTERNOON AND NIGHT | Jpl LIVE MODELS WILL DiSPLAV ffimk .
