WHO IS THIS YOUNG MAN AND HIS PAL?
(Clues: Both Are Local Residents.)
Jtety COMMENTS
BY MARY ALICE HASTY
■ editor has shown me issues dating
old papers in the g
age and everyone knows that anything discovered is much
more intriguing than anything filed. Coupled with this is
the fact that the issue made its appearance one year be
fore I did, as I have had a published glimpse of the past,
that to me is personally unique.
I wish it were possible to reproduce all of the eight
pages in this column. J. C. Sell, Sr. editor and owner,
must have been a rugged individualist; he declared in no
uncertain terms in an editorial. "There Is No Joker" that
a newspaper's source of revenue is in its advertising columns,
and said in effect that he was '"on" to those who sent in
advertising disguised as news, hoping to have it published
free. Great! He prefaced one column with the remark
that he believed the following article to be a lie, but would
print it anyway since he thought it would entertain the
readers. (After reading the article I agree with Mr. Sell. . I
fhinlr it was a lie too.) He was aslo sensitive and something
of a poet; the obituary of his friend J. D. Goins, who
died on Tuesday, June 24, 1930, and the poem entitled, "The
School Out In The Sticks," modestly signed J. C. S. attest
to that.
Today it is considered a breach of ethics for doctors
and lawyers to advertise. Not so in Cooleemee in 1930.
Dr. A. Baxter Byerly, M.D. kept office hours over the
Cooleemee Drug Store from 9-10 AM., 1-2 P.M., 6-8
P.M. Dr. W. C. Martin inserted an ad that said he gave
special attention to Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, and fitted
Glasses (His son, Dr. Lester Martin, delivered me the fol
lowing year).
The Patriotic Order Sons of America met every Thurs
day night at 7:30 over the City Market, and the Redmen,
Mineola Tribe No. 30, had "a regular meeting place over
City Market every Friday night at the 7th run and 30th
breath."
An ad from the Cooleemee Drug Store declared MORE
PEOPLE RIDE ON GOODYEAR TIRES THAN ON ANY
OTHER KIND, WE HAVE ALL SIZES AND PRICES.
C. P. Morton, Prop. City Barber Shop advertised a
five-chair shop and five good barbers. . and shower baths.
Everything strictly sanitary.
DR. CALDWELL, who had already worried 47 years
about constipation, remained equally concerned in 1930. The
gist of his two-paragraph ad (in fine print) is that it (con
stipation) is inevitable, but one could observe three rules of
good health: "Keep the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open." "Syrup Pepsin" would take care of rule three.
On Page 1 we learn that Mr. Pelham Smith and Miss
Grace Turbyville were united in matrimony in Calvary
Methodist Church, Danville, Va.
Under "Society" we learn that Postmaster Noah J.
Grimes, accompanied by Messrs. George Alexander and
Thomas Webb spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Spar
tanburg, South Carolina. They were visiting a friend Samuel
Ward, who was a student at the Textile Industrial Insti
tute.
And, "Prof. Hugh Lefler of the faculty of N. C. State
College spent a few days with his parents this week He
will return to Philadelphia the last of this week where
he is doing research work at the University of Pa." (Dr.
Lefler is currently a Professor of History at the University
of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and is considered to be
the state's leading authority on North Carolina History.
He is the author of the history textbook used throughout
our public schools).
And, "Mr. C. B. Hoover and family visited Reverend
M. L. Barnes and family in Mt. Holly last Sunday" (M. L.
Barnes, Jr. was Principal of Knox Junior High School in
Salisbury when I did my student teaching there in the
Spring of 1965)
And, "Mrs. Clifford Vogler of Center Street, who
had her Tonsils removed at Lowery Hospital is getting along
nicely we are glad to note."
There are pages more. Perhaps we can include more
in another 6OI^QUII
