He was buried at fethel church in Lincoln county. , —Preacher and Chickens—The pro. werbial saying that a preacher “loves” chicken is further demonstrated in the fact that Rev. W. E. Lowe • of Blacksburg, S. C., who is pastor of several rural Baptist churches, has purchased eight acres of land from Jack Palmer at $500 per acre and will raise chickens as a sideline to his min istry. Rev.

Bostic Suffers Big Loss In Flames Flames, said to have originated in a kitchen flue, destroyed the Sea board hotel at Bostic Monday night, says the Forest City Courier. The fire was discovered between 12 and 1 o’clock, and had gained such headway that the hotel and contents were prac tically a total loss. The hotel was the property of Mr. J. T. Withrow and was operated by Mrs. Frank Kendrick. The loss will prove a heavy one, as only $2,150 in insurance was carried. Flames spread to the residence of Mr. R. S. Stout, which was a loss with only a few household goods being saved. Only a small amount of insur ance was carried by Mr. Stout. Florida Votes To Prohibit Income Tax There were a great many questions local to various communities which were decided at the polls on Tuesday, which merit more than the circum scribed attention they wou'd natur ally receive. One of the outstanding of these was the referendum to the people of Flor ida of the questio nof state taxation and the result of that referendum was that hereafter residents of that balmy community will be rid of all inherit ance taxes and state impositions on income. What this means to Florida is like ly to be promptly reflected by the men and women from other slates who will take advantage of their an nual winter visits to the southland to establish such residence there as will allow them to avail themselves of the generous provisions which the vote of the state has provided. Florida, far from being the loser by any reduction of income, is in a position to profit largely from this further addition to the already great attractions offered to visitors within her boundaries. The people as a while on Tuesday gave their endorsement to the prin ciple of less and lower taxes. Flor ida sets an early example of the de finite application of that popular principle.—New York Telegram Mail. A spring poet that can withstand the fall frost is entitled to some credit. "The meeting this week will he in charge of the Program Committee” —being the opening sentence of the regular weekly letter issued to Ki wanians by the secretary. What we’re wondering Charlie is who gen erally has charge of the meetings? • The scene that perhaps attracted the attention of more people here ! Armistice Day was not at the Fair Grounds, nor at the theatre. It was in the LaFayettc street window of Gil mer’s Department store. The window pushed back six years and brought an undertanding of the anniversary with a defter touch than the bursting bombs at the Fair Grounds or the thrilling film at the Princess. It was a scene we should remember, though the memories be not so pleasant. Ar ranged with an artistic hand the win dow portrayed a miniature French war cemetery—row on row of little white crosses, ready reminders of~the golden stars that bring back in thous ands of'American homes memories of other days. As a background there fluttered “Old Glory,” the starred and striped symbol of the ideal of the boys resting under the white crosses. To tiie side of the flag was a striking portrait of "Black Jack"— Gen John J. Pershing—the idol of the American soldier. And last there was Cleveland county's “Roll of Honor,” the names of the home boys who gave their all. The scene was the idea and handi work of Archie Galloway, decorator for the big chain store. Those who saw it realized his ability. Oui! Oui! Indian summer has visit ed Shelby. Have not the trees on the “court square” been scalped? That Joe C. Smith, the passing of whom is related on the front page, was a friend of a generation in Shel by younger than his own is a story that was told in the recent photo graph of his first automobile. Way back when automobiles were wonders, things that would attract crowds on a street corner, Mr. Smith brought his Cadillac to Shelby. One day he pulled up to the curb and covered the queer looking vehicle with eager eyed boys— their first ride on an automobile. One of the youngsters was Attorney Pat McBrayer and from that day on Pat would wralk a block out of the way just to speak to Mr. Smith. Practically every boy that took his first spin on that car owns an automobile of his own to day, but they'll never forget their first ride and the man who inter preted the desire in their eyes as he chugged down street. Meaning Joe Smith had other qualities than busi ness ability that were appreciated by the people among whom he lived. We who live in the hustle and bustle of a business town can hard ly imagine that there are those who live remotely and find peace and hap piness in their years, yet there are. Up in the county there died last week an aged lady, of the type that helped bring the Suothland from ruins into the limelight of prosperity, and in her 86 years of living she never glimpsfed a locomotive, and Shelby to her was the town of our “29 Years Ago” clumn—her last visit here was 30 years past. Last Saturday a little blue forget me-not greeted the world from the coat lapel of practically every Shelby man. Every one of the little tokens meant a “smoke or two,” or actual necessities of life to the “boys” who gave a leg or an arm or were other wise rendered useless for the remain der of their lives because they fought for us. This Saturday you will be call ed on for one dollar that will prob ably mean as much as two forget me-nots. Those who attended the war film, “Flashes of Action” at the Princess theatre saw the Red Cross stretcher bearers go out under the bursting shells and shrapnel and amid the hail of steel and give first aid to the wounded. The same workers are doing just as much, or more, for a supposedly peace-loving world. More over one-half of your dollar will re main to help those in need in this county. A dollar well spent—the one you give in the Re dCross roll call Saturday. Shelby continues to get in the head lines. Last week a Shelby man— J. M. Shannonhouse—furnished the best title to the Charlotte Observer’s picture contest. His title was a clev er one, and, by the way, it’s clever ness that keeps Shelby before the reading eye of the state, for it’s cleverness in one form or another that makes good farmers, football players, statesmen and business men. And it is by these that Shelby and Cleveland are known to North Car olina. A hyphen is on he level, thus differ ing from the politicians who appeal to it.—’Wheeling Intelligencer.. When the time arrives for the meek to inherit the earth, there will prob ably be no oil left in it.—Columbia Record. The holier-than-thou attitude may be caused by virtue, but usually it is caused by a poor memory.—Austin American. JUST SAVE $15 AND STILL BE “DRESSED UP” An A.

WHY HAS THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHELBY THOUSANDS OF AC COUNTS AND RESOURCES OF OVER FOUR AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS? BECAUSE— For more than twenty years it has been the friend of Cleveland county. BECAUSE— Every officer and clerk has the fact con stantly in mind that the customer is the most important individual connected with the bank. They know the bank is not operated just to pay salaries, but to give a definite service. BECAUSE— This bank has to offer every line of le gitimate banking service from making change to securing Foreign Exchange. BECAUSE— — It is essentially n Shelby and Cleveland County institution, having the confi dence and trust of the public over a long period. In fact over three generations. FINALLY— The big outstanding reason why this bank has thousands of depositors is be cause it has wanted them and worked unceasingly for them! No account has ever been too small to receive careful at tention. We appreciate small accounts! Every customer means another ardent supporter. The monvy value of an ac count has always been subordinate to the useful service able to be rendered to the public. First National Bank OF SHELBY, N. C. Capital and Surplus $500,000.00.

Penurious saving is not thrift. A man who will deny his family or himself the necessities of life is not a thrifty individual. However, there is a thought quite worthy of your con sideration: A DOLLAR NEVER RESTS UNTIL IT IS SAVED. Money will travel until it reaches the hands of a saver. Many of your dol lars are now drawing inter est in another man’s sav ings account. Four Per Cent Compound Interest And Safety. Deposit Your Cotton Checks With Us. We Loan On Warehouse Receipts.
