Having qualified as adminis-." tratrix for the estate of Thomas W, Sellers 'before the Clerk Su perior Court for Cleveland Coun ty, all persons are hereby notifi ed to file their claims with the undersigned on or before the 6th day of April, 1955 or this notice will be pleaded in fear of their recovery; All persons Indebted to said estate will please make immedi ate payment to the undersigned. This the 6th day of April, 1954. Mrs. Wilma Sellers, Administratrix for the Es tate of Thomas W. Sellers Davis and White, Attorneys 4:8-5:13 Mow often you havd heard' an expression >ueh as, !'I bought my property (real relate) at a sale ordered by %the cou.t; so I know my title Is good." Thousands of dollars are spent annually f<>r the purchase of property be.ld at sales to collect taxes, settle, tes tates, ? and the like, without exam ination of titles because of the mistaken belief that the courts assume a responsibility for the condiiioh of the title. A-ny title attorney will tejl you that, as a class, titles which have been through court proceedings contain more defects than any other. G#ne?Mly, the court has no duty other l/ian to pass on the issues submitted to it. Thb condi tion of the title to property tb be sold is not usually one of the issues. It is up to the buyer to satisfy himself as to the condi tion of the title. To- take a man's land from him and sell it is a very serious mat ter. Yet, this can be done to col lect the taxes due on it, In doing so, however, the county or munici pality must follow closely the pro cedure required by the law. If any detail is overlooked, a sale pursuant to the foreclosure may later be set aside, thereby causing the buyer to give up the land. For example, the law requires that ihe owners of the property bte notified of such foreclosure by a summons which must be per sonally served if the owners can NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to action of the Board of Directors, a meeting of the shareholders of First National Bank, of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, will be held in the lob by of the bank on Monday, May 10, 1954, at 4 p: m., to consider and vote upon a program invol ving, along with matters inci dental thereto: The adoption of stockhold ers' resolution and amendment of articles of association re ceived from the Comptroller of the Currency which may be examined at the bank at any time during office hours prior to the aforesaid meeting. The resolution and amendment of articles of association are for the purpose of authorising a) A change in the par value per share and number of shares of the bank's common stock from $l60 and 1,000, respectively, to $10 and 10,000, respectively; b) An appropriate amend-' ment to the articles of associa tion of the bank reflecting those Changes. , L* E.

Pastevu-ized^ # Homogenized iGAsramj by C bailee W. Daniel for the North Carolina Lai Association he found by diligent -search with' in the state; Often, thia cannot be done because the owner has. a? 1 bundojleri the property and mov ed to another community, and his residence (s unknown to county officials. When the property be comes more valuable at a later (date, the purchaser finds it is al most impossible to avoid bavins ! the property taken from him by the?former owner who, can show i that, if county officials had made ja diligent search, they could have served a summons on such former owner. Often the executor of an estate finds it nedessary to sell the real estate for the purpose of obtain ing funds to pay. the debts of the deceased. In doing so. the execu tor must remember that the real estate belongs to the heirs of the deceased and not to the estate itself, or to the executor. It is ?merely subject to the call of the j executor, who may sell it to pay debts if the .personal property of the. deceased is insufficient for | this purpose. In making such sale, however, the executor must | 'give to each heir proper notice ithat- the sale will be made, must | prove the insufficiency of the per sonal property of the deceased to pay the deceased's debts, and ! must otherwise comply with the requirements of the law authoriz ing such sale. A failure to do any. of these things may create a de fective title to the property sold. Correcting such defects is diffi cult and often very expensive if thfcy are not discovered until after the estate is closed. In addition, the purchaser of property which is sold under or der of court usually gets a deed without warranty, so if the title is found to be defective, the owner, has no one to whom he can turn and demand payment of his dam ages. Every attorney has seen dozens of clients invest life savings in property having defective titles such as outlined above. Your at torney would much rather chargte you a small fee for examining your title and protecting your in vestment than a large fee. for try ing to clear a cloudy title.

Once a veteran has decided to train under the Korean GI Kill, ? he must choose the school and course tie wants. He must make certain that the course is Gl-ap proved. Any VA Regional Office can furnish him information on this point. Then he must be sure that the school will accept him for train ing. His next step is to file an appli cation for Korean GI Bill train ing with the VA, or with the ap proved school in which he wishes to enroll. Since all these steps take time, i veterans should act promptly to avoid disappoint rr ent. For veter ans requesting VA counseling to help them decide on an objective and a training program, prompt action is a "must"; the counseling process adds still another step that is necessarily time-consum ing. VA reminded veterans that the < August 20 deadline applies to ve- i terans planning to take on-the job and onthe-farm training, as well as to those who intend to go to school. This August's cutoff date applies only to veterans who left the service on or before Au gust 20, 1952, VA said. Veterans separated after that time have two years from the date of their separation in which to begin Ko rean GI training. QUESTIQN ?

These facts about the New Chevrolet can help you make an important decision Don't you agree that buying a new car calls for careful consideration? Regardless of make, it involves a sub stantial amount of money and a lot of future satisfac tion. This information can give you a better idea of com parative value and help you decide which make to buy. A good customer of ours was telling us the other day how he sizes up a new car. Because he's bought a num ber of them over the years, we were interested in what he had to say. We think you will be, too. Actually, what be does is to ask about seven basic questions. The answers give a pretty complete pic ture of the car and its comparative value. Here's what he wants to know.. Row well do like its looks? That's one question, of course, that only you can answer. You're the one who boys the car and you, abov* anybody else, should be proud of its app?arsisee. All w* can tell you is that we hear a lot of nice things about Chevrolet's new styling. People seem to like the new firont-end and rfear-end designs, and the way the bumpers carve even farther around the fenders. They like the new styling touches all around the car and the wide choice of bright new colors and two- tone combinations. A good many tell as that Chsvrqlet has s decided edge over the othsr cars in its field far smooth and graceful lines. Wko Makes die bed y? This question takes in ft territory than the appearance It Involves the quality of the of the interior as well as the strength and safety of the . body construction. That's why we think it worth your consideration that Chevrolet has the only Body by . Fisher in the low-price field. You can see the difference outside and inside. We'd especially like you to look over the new interiors. Just sit in the car, if you will. Feel the quality of the fabrics and notice the more generous u*ie of vinyl trim. In all these ways, you'll find evi dence of superior quality and w^ik manship. And after all, isn't that what you would expect in Body by Fisher? As you know, Fisher is the largest and most famous manufac turer of automobile bodies in the world. Doesn't it-stand to reason that Fisher can build extra quality into the Chevrolet body? It's there and you can see it. What's under the hood? You hear a great deal of talk theee days about engine power. The truth is that the number of horsepower isn't nesrrty um important as what the horsepower does for you. In this year's Chevrolet, you get lncreflMo power m iwo unar wigiTuw. There's the "Bine-Flame 126" engine with Powerglide automatic transmission and optional on nil models at extra cost. In gearshift models, you get the moro powerful "Blue-Flumo 115" engine. But, actually, the increase in horsepower is only a sort of by product of design changes made for other reasons. Chevrolet engineers were after greater engine efficiency, not just greater power. So, you get improved acceleration, with greater and safer passing ability. You Ret quieter, smoother operation. You climb the steep hills with new ease. Flow hungry is it for gasoline? A car's reputation for, and record of, economy of operation is certainly an important consideration to most people. We'd be glad to have you compare Chevrolet in this respect with any car at any price. And, in the case of this new Chev rolet, you do not have to sacrifice economy for finer performance and more horsepower. That's because the Chevrolet engines are high-com ' press ion engines. Their compression ratio of 7.6 to 1 is the highest in any of the leading low-priced cars. This means simply that the engine com presses, or squeezes, the -fuel mix ture to a greater degree in order to wring more work out of it. That's how Chevrolet is able to give you an important gain in performance along with money -saving gasoline mileage ? and on regular gas, of course. Is it op to date In featnres? We can't think of a new feature or development you might want that you can't have on the new Chevrolet. Now yon can have Chevrolet's zippy and thrifty Powerglide automatic transmission on any model. You can have Power Steering on all models and at a new, lower price. You can have Automatic Window and Seat Controls on any Bel Air or "Two Ten" model, and you can have Power Brakes on any model equipped with Powerglide. All are, of coufsa, optional features at extra cost. How popular a car is it? When you come right down to it, there's no better way to judge the satisfaction a car gives its o<vners than by its popularity. How many people buy it and keep on buying it? Well, as you may know, Chevrolet is by far the most popular car in this country. That's true today and it's beert true for a good many years now. But it couldn't be true? or wouldn't be true ? unless Chevrolet gave its owners an extra measure of satisfac tion and value. How much does it coat? There's a short, sweet answer to that one: Chevrolet is priced below all other lines of cars. This lower cost is made possible by the greater production facilities and purchasing power of the world's largest manufacturer of auto mobiles. That is why Chevrolet can offer you all the advantages we've told you about here? and many more, too. We'd be more than (lad to have you Me all these things for yourMtf and to try out this new Chevrolet on the road. Well be happy to see you at any time.
