LIONS CLUB MEETING.
Recently representative men of
Caroleen, Avondale, Henrietta and
Cliffside organized a Lion's Club and
preparations are being made today,
(Tuesday) for the first meeting to
be held here. Mrs. H. L. Robertson
and her class in domestic science are
busy preparing the "feed" to be serv
ed this evening.
Speaking of Mrs. Robertson's
class, the class has grown until it
was necessary to add more equipment
and tables or desks have been added
to accommodate several more girls.
The old tables in the "lab" have
been remodeled and new, heavy wat
er-tight tops of proper material have
taken the place of the pine tops on
the old ones. This will greatly facil
itate the work of the class.

CLEVELAND COUNTY
HAS TWO PIONEER HOMES
In the Muddy Fork section of
No. 5 township there is a residence,
still in use today, which was built
in 1731, or 198 years ago.
Interesting data on this pioneer
home and another in the county
erected 135 years ago was given
The Star by Mrs. Horace Wright,
69-year-old descendant of the early
settlers who built both homes.
The 198-year-old residence, which
is owned and occupied now by Stan
ford Wolfe, was erected by William
Oates, great grandfather of Mrs.
"He came from across the water,"
according to the aged woman and
was one of the first settlers in this
Wright on one side of the family,
section of the state. .Mrs. Wright
has a photo of the original dwell-
The other old residence, linger
ing over from pioneer days, is the
red house just west of New Prospect
church and is on the plantation
owned by Mr. Josh Lattimore and
Dr. E. B. Lattimore. This residence
was erected in 1794 by John Teter
Beam, also a great grandfather of
Mrs. Wright, who was the first of
the Beam family, then known as
Baum to settle in this section which
is now covered by hundrede of his
descendants.—Cleveland Star.

Spanish Silver
Found In Shelby
An old Spanish treasure, buried
perhaps a century ago, was un
earthed Friday of last week in a
wooded strip on the old Bob Wil
liams place just below South Shel
by. *
The finder was a youth, Clyde
Williams, who was playing* about in
the woods when he spied something
shining in a gully which had been
washed there.
Climbing into the ditch the youth
began to scrape about and in a
few minutes had uncovered 27
pieces of Spanish silver. Just what
the value of the coins were, or
might be now, is not known.
Practically all of the silver
seemed new—in the sense that it
apparently had not been in cir
culation very long before being
buried as the coins were not scratch
ed.
A dozen of the coins were stand
ing on edge and in a line in the
dirt indicating that they had been
stacked in a row and buried in a
chest or some other container, the
container rotting away during the
many years the silver had been
buried.
The coins were dated from 1792
to 1810 and since there were no
coins dated later it is estimated
that the silver might Jiave been
buried about the time of the War
of 1812. No local legend tells of a
Spanish treasure ever being buried
in the section and the unearthing
of the silver has created a mystery
as to when and how it was placed
there, and by whom.—Cleveland Star

WANT LOCATION GRAVES OF
REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS
Anyone knowing of the location ot
graves of soldiers of the Revolution
ary war, in Rutherford county, mark
ed or unmarked, will confer a great
favor if they will communicate with
Clarence Griffin, at The Courier of
fice, giving the location of these
graves. Mr. Griffin is compiling a
list of the graves of these soldiers,
and their location. He has succeeded
in securing a list of practically all of
the marked graves, but has no record
of those soldiers who have no monu
ments.
