JaBWppwut Ounown All-year Fountain. “While they’re building the foun tain on the court square they should make it a year-round attraction,” re marked a citizen Saturday, while looking over the work which is now in progress. His idea was that a small rdfond story should be added for a rest room, particularly for winter time. “The handsome openly-con structed ground floor is alright in the Mi pier* time, but there should be a % witrm rest room overhead for ladies a lid visitors,” he said. Another man suggested that a second floor should 1.0 added in the form of a pavilion— something that could he used for band concerts and as a platform for other public gatherings. One had a summer idea, the other a winter thought. Both are worth passing along for the thought of others. “Not What it I'seter Be.” Times certainly arc not like “they usoter he”; a copy of The Cleveland Star of 1905 is proof enough. Some snow fell here this year but if it has leaked through and cause* much dam age nothing has been said of it. The] Star of February 22, 1906 carries the following article: “Much damage has been sustained by q few of the business men in Shel by .during the last two weeks in tho, leaking of stores and offices. Thu snow clogs tip; « tl;e roof, molts an t runs through Another article by ,T. A. Arfhony.) then superintendent of schools, offers iMiothcx cuuU;,:.;:l.

In 1923* school tax levy in Cleveland county brought in #'ItiO,(89 and $06,000 least phited in new brick school buildings. Seven thousand dol lars more was spent for operating ex j Wises in the school;; in the county IqM year than was derived from eV c«y source in 1904. The advertisements in the old pa pa:- tell a story all their own. It’s al most as easy to -find an airplane on ftjiolby streets today as a buggy, yet in the 1905 paper the late J. I). Line bgrger carried a large advertisement tailing of the qualities of the Bab buggy.. Nearby was an "ad” of armers A. P.

U'U-U'Ssiu; Politics seemed to be the same then as nowadays, however. Clyde It. Hoey democratic county chairman, was call ing a democratic primary at the re quest of Representative R. I.. Ryburn, ‘ tp ascertain the will of the people.” That politics then and now are relat ed we judge from the following edi torial paragraph: “Tom Dixpn said: ‘politics are a mess.’ If that be the case, Cleveland county is; ngain in a mess.” Tempts fugits. What? The following arc some of the ques t lions being asked “around our town”: Will Shelby have a baseball dub this summer? Are you sure the ground hog prophecy is all a myth? What will be done with the old Central church building when the new building is completed? -Will Angus W. or Josiah W. suc ceed Cam? Can you have the measles twice, and how long does a small pox vac cination make one immune from the disease ? Will the hid be raised on the Court view property? Where did you get it? (generally heard in recorder’s court). Will McAdoo Underwood or Dan iels? Will the Shelby high school base ball club have a chance of copping thp state championship? Why do radio broadcasting stations .use such letters as X, Z. Y. U. P. Q an<l K, and what is static ? Why keep a blanket on Spark Plug, and does Vo Ho play mah jong? Have you seen Mrs. --’a new spring bonnet? More questions, bordering on one subject, will ho asked as spring ad vances, and their answers in r> num ber of cases will be found in the so cial column. The answers though will hardly tell how the question came up, as this is Leap Year. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE. Having qualified as Executor of the estate of Rebecca I. Bride-os. late of Cleveland county, N.
