part to that glorious beyond.

tory in Newton that manufactures %&*<
bestos plastic roof paint, but sure
enough the Fiber Manufacturing.Oo.,

cost much for this great convenience,
either.
! Cleveland Feed Co.
The Cleveland Feed Co., has a dou
ble booth in charge of its manager
Mr. Watters, a new comer to Shelby,
but enterprising, nevertheless, sb
much so that he has one of the largest

tween Charlotte and Asheville. He
proves the quality of his flour by serv
ing hot biscuits that are a delight to
a tired, hungry body.
Bosts Bakery Products,
Singing a silent song of quality,
there is arranged shelf after shelf
in the Bost Bakery booth, piles of pies,
bushels of bread, “cunning” cakes and
other Bost bakery products. Best’s
names seems to go so well with “bet
ter” and “bread” that he must have
been ordained for the bakery business.
Elizabeth Flour.
A whirling barrel of flour adorns
the top of a mountain of sacks of
Elizabeth flour made by the Interstate
Milling Co., a Charlotte flour mill and
flour mill and one of the largest flour
mills in the Carolinas, by the way.
This is a visiting exhibit but Kiza
beth flour is well and favorably
known to the trade and the manage
ment is determined that it shall con
tinue to be so by exhibiting at Clev
eland's inaugural fair.
The Cleveland Star.
So popular has The Star become
that it was found necessary to have
a booth at the fair to accommodate
the rush of new subscribers and the
determination of the faithful old
time readers to pay again, so a little
red, white and blue bunting was
stretched around the poles and the
agent P. S. Gettys was put in charge
to accept the offerings which have
l>een gratifying, to say the least. Our
best hit at the booth, next to The
Star of course, is the Piedmont tele
phone pay station which serves to ac
commodate the populace with talking
connection with the outside world.

mountain counties of this district and
finds Democratic prospects bright all
over the district. He said that La Col
lette would get some votes in this dis
trict, for President, especially in the
Mountain counties where many of the
Republicans were declaring for La
Follette in preference to Coolidge. Mr.
Bulwinkle believes the Democratic
vote in this district will increase in
the coming election very much over
his sperrdid majority even of two years
ago.
CLEVELAND’S BEST FARM FOR
SALE.
Being the Jesse Hawkins 90 acres, ;>o miles west of Shel
by, located on Shelby and Lattimore sand clay road. '
There is no belter farm in the County, the location is
good. The land is of the very best and it is our opinion
that Tor the money it is the cheapest place in the County.
To buy a farm in this same locality will cost the purch
aser at least $25.00 more per acre. The buildings on this
farm are a seven room, plastered house, two good barns,
grainery, smokehouse, e >tton house, garage and several
other buildings. The land is divided so as to give 45 to
50 acres in one field, leaving the balance in another large
field of very fine wood and saw timber. Should the wood
be taken off it would make the whole farm one field of
level land. Our price on this farm has been $150.00 per
acre, FOR A SHORT TIME WE WILL LET IT GO AS
A WHOLE FOR $12500.00 CASH.
Do not delay if interested in buying, \ve expect to
sell this week..
