FELL THE WORLD
YOU'RE PROUD TO LIVE IN
SHELBY
Surely, you have all the reason in the world to be thank
ful you live in Shelby. Your commercial interests are
here. Your social interests are here. Your prospects
here are far more promising than they would be any
where else. Nary a cloud hovers on the horizon of your
future. Could things look any brighter?
Compare Shelby with New York, Chicago, or any of the
larger centers of the country. There it is—“Everybody
for himself. Get what you can and the best o’ luck.’’ It’s
hustle, hustle every minute with never a' thought or a
kind deed for a neighbor’s welfare.
How different the spirit is here. Your neighbor’s in
terests are your own. He thinks—“What can I do to
please others? What can I do to help improve the town,
help it grow and make it a better place in which to live?
Your thoughts are the same. And through your actions
and his actions, Shelby has become the best place in the
world.
Population doesn’t make a great community. It’s the
cpsrit of those who live in it.

So, do a little “Oral Boosting.’’ Tell the world you’re
mighty happy to be here.

| Radio Popular.
“It is- astonishing how this radio
| fad is spreading,” broadcasted a fcl
I low on the street Saturday. “On farm
i homes where you used to see lightn
! in grods you now see a radio an
j tenna,” he said. The summer was
i right about the spread of radio, but it
is :io fad. He remarked as he talked
j on that the lightning rod and radio
“are both akin, at that, as they're sup
posed to catch something out of the
air.” Wihout any reference to adver
( ! ising, radio is very popular and like
ly to remain so owing to its educa
! tional and interesting features. If you
j think you can step in most any home
| today and talk about Galli-Curci,
j some famed violinist or lecturer, and
'! astonish your hearers with your wide
I knowledge, you better first see if
there is a radio in the house. Irfstead
of rinding a farmer nowadays resting
in the corner reading the almanac you
' are likely to find hint perked up be
j fore a radio set with the receivers on
his cars “listening in” on a grand
I opera selection from station N. O. P.,
Pittsburgh, or catching a. lecture on
thereal vacuum from station P. D.
O., University of Knowledge, Kala
mazoo. “The radio program ordinar
ily tonsils of anything in the list of
human achievements,’’ wound up our
informer, “and if you don’t believe
it’s, taking just not these news let
ters from the various* sections of
Cleveland county telling of radio out
fits being installed.”
Old History.
In securing her article on the Con
federate flag given Cleveland county
soldiers during the Civil war, Mrs.
0!in Hamrick discovered quite a num
ber of other interesting facts on the
county’s history. Last year the coun
ty produced around 40,000 bales of
cotton, which was quite a record, but
hark back 00 years, or to 1860, and
think tha in that year Cleveland
county rai 'd only 476 bales of cotton.
Production last year was nearly 100
times that of 63 years ago. The pop
ulation of the county in 1860 was 12,
845, of which 2,131 were slaves. Today
there are as many children in school
i as lived in the county 63 years ago,
, when only 2,637 children were in
i school. Shelby and Kings Mountain
, alone now t>ave as many pupils en
rolled as the entire county then.
Some of the. more familiar names
among the early settlers of the spe-‘
tion included Allen Armstrong Zefk
ley, Barnett, Cooper, Cox, Davis, Gra
ham, Hunter, Jetton, King and^Stacey
The name of Hoyle nowadays was
then called Heil, and Jones was call
ed Jongs. Jn the county in 1860 there
were only 35 business establishments
with a total capital invested of $126,
934 and employing 90 people.
All Kinds Weather.
“W< 11, today is spring,” opined a
citizen Friday, “but yesterday we had
all kinds of weather.” A pretty good
definition of Thursday, it rained,
hailed, got cold and warm, and final
ly the sun peeked out. How it all
came about' is explained in equinox
and Webster explains equinox as:
“The time when the sun’s center in
crowing the equator, coincides with
either of the equinoctial points, time
about March 21 and September 22.”
These two incidents are usually at
tended by a disturbed atmosphere, if
Thursday’s weather may be called
that, but now with all the almanacs
agreeing that spring started Friday
it wouldn’t hurt to turn to the adver-,
tisements telling of spring clothing
and such. ,

so intense, but it’s accumulating.-_
