All members of the North Carolina Cotton tTrowcrs Co-operative associa tion are urgently requested to at tend a meeting to be held Wednesday night at 7:30 March 19th in Waco school building. The purppse of this meeting is to discuss marketing problems of the farmers and to organize a local as sociation to further the work in Clev eland county. All cotton farmers whether mem bers- or not and the public are cordi ally invited. There will be speakers present to give the members informa tion as to what the association has accomplished. the project for it is needed—the pres ent jail being filled beyond its ca pacity. Wiley McGinnis, often referred to rs an ‘‘unreconstructed rebel'' who fought for Gaston as hard as any man—pledged his untiring efforts in behalf of Cleveland, while J. H. Quinn, the Shelby postmaster recalled his boyhood days when at the age of 18 he attended school under Gant. Bell at Kings Mountain and learned to love the people there who were so kind to him. Postmaster S. S. Ware of Kings Mountain urged that the county fair have the unfailing support of the men present,- especially in the matter of getting exhibits from every quarter of the county. Editor Lee B. Weathers of The Star asked that the people of the two towns refrain from further reference, even In a jocular manner, of the coun ty-line election and the baseball con troversy which served to engender some feeling and that tire two clubs erect signboards of “welcome to the county" on the eastern and western edges when the Charlotte-Asheville highway passes'through. Rev. A. H. Sims called on Oscar Carpenter to ex plain why he had become a candidate so soon after coming to Cleveland, in timating there might be a political germ biting our people. With a hearty laugh and a season of handshaking, the most enjoyable joint meeting the two dubs have hud came to a close. | One of the Oldest and Most Beloved | Women of (he County Buried in N . 10 Township.

Mrs 1 Csbor-e w a small woman in stat 1 no but very industrious and active. There was not a lazy hone in her body ! and her regular habits and jovial dis j oosition were responsible for her long I life. She hod no organic trouble to undermine her health and take her away. She simply wore out after near ly a century of usefulness to he" ne:ehbors and devotion to her family and home. All th° neighbors sneak in highest terms of her noble life, a' though she made no pretentions of be;ng a saint. At an early age she joined the church holding her mem bership at St. Peters where she at tended regularly when her health would permit. She never gave up the fight and never complained in her last years when her body grew feeble because of the weight of 95 years. Mrs. Osborne was buried Monday at 11 o’clock at Knob Creek Methodist Protestant church, the funeral serv ices being conducted by Rev. Mr. Mor gan of Fallston, and a great crowd at tested the love and esteem in which j she was held. She was the mother of five chil dren to whom she was devoted and : gave the best energies of her life, Bruce Osborne died two years ago. ; at Umatilla, Florida, Mrs. Mary Ba ! ber in Catawba county.

Unpaid Street Taxes Accumulate Interest Notices po out this week to the property owners in Shelby who have not paid their street and sidewalk assessments due the first of Febru ary. The statements do not show the amounts due for the reason that the interest is accumulating as the days go by. There is no way to force prop erty owners to pay the assessments, according to a statement by Mayor W. D. Lackey, until the ten years have expired, but it should be remem bered that the interest is accumulat ing and that the installments and in terest constitute a lein against the property. The property, therefore, stands for the obligation and is sub ject to sale for the street and side walk taxes if not paid.

E. Cline chairman of the coun *v board of commissioners of Kings Mountain is head of Cleveland Coun ty Fair association, he having bean elected Monday at 10- o’clock by 1i of the 21 directors who met in the court house. J. S. Dorton who has been the most enthusiastic fair udvo 'atc and has taken the lead in pro moting the fair and securing the sub scriptions to stock, was elected nec ’•etnrv and treasurer with throe vice presidents taken from the hoard of directors: Lester Herndon of Grover; George Blanton and William Lineber "er of Shelby. O. M. Mull and O. Af. Gardner were named as legal advis ers. About 35,000 more is needed to have the necessary amount to make the fnir the size it should be and each one of the directors has been asked to assist in the canvass for additional funds in his respective township. It is felt that the additional can be secur ed if only the farmers are seen for in every section where canvassers have been, the response has been gen erous. R. E. Lawrence, farm demonstrator has asked the state department of ag riculture to send an expert on fairs to Shelby to help plan a layout of the grounds on the County home prop erty, make suggestions as to the ex hibit buildings and premium list, etc. Various committees will be appoint ed to look after the varied matters pertaining to the fair. The 21 Directors The directors were elected at a meeting of the stockholders held in the Court House Friday morning at 10 o clock at which there was only a small crowd, very few of whom were farmers, because of the falling saow. O. M. Mull presided as chairman with J. S. Dorton, secretary. The charter was read and approved, after which a committee was named to nominate tho board of directors, it being un animously decided to have a board of 21 men, one from each township and ten at large, thus having repi resentatives from every section of Cleveland. This was considered a large board but in order to facilitate the work it was agreed to write m the constitution and by-laws that the presence of five will constitute a quorum after notice has been served on entire membership to be present at a meeting. The nominating committee made the following recommendations and these were unanimously elected to constitute the board of directors for the ensuing year or until their suc cessors are elected: No. 1 township Toe McCraw, No. ° ' "ttimore. No. 3 Wnj. Lowerv. No. 4 Lester Herndon. Wayne - - R-,rnes -nd A. E. Cline: No. 5 Shuford Beam; No. 6 O. M. Mull. Wm. Lineberger, Georee Blanton and J. S. Dorton; No. 7 Will Crowder. No. 8 Eld ridge Weathers. No. 9 Rufus Lackey. No. 10 , Edney Willis, No. 11 J. L. Price. Di rectors at large Ulus Rollins, J. B. Lat.timore. Gard HamHck. These are representative men who are thoroughly interested in the coun tv fair and will no doubt make good selections of committeemen to look after the various phases of the fair work.
