Also wc wish to thank Hold Mc Pherson, (behind the front line fane) of the Shelby Daily Star, who has co-operated so wonderfully with us, in bringing out the nev; front page, and at a price we could afford, but no profit to the Daily Star. Let us kno\v how you like your new front page, anyway, OTite us often. "Lovers are fools but nature makes then so." "So long as we live, we serve."
