Eskridge Quoted In Talk Over the Radio Radio fans in thi> section listening in last Tuesday evening '.vere sur prised to hear C. L. Eskridge of Shelby quoted in a talk from Chicago given by G. C. Biggar, the Book Farmer, in his Inquisitive Broadcast er. Series featured by the* S*; rs-Roe buck Radio Station WLS. Mr. Bg gar compiles weekly a digest f the opinions of prominent farmers ovei the United States on questions of current agricultural interest, or rent a farm at the present time" The question discussed upon this occasion was “Is it cheaper -o own and the digest represented the opt ions of farmerse in the states of Indiana, Ohio, Alabama, North Caro Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Mich gan, lina, Florida, Now Hampshire. Mr. Eskridge was quoted ns saying: “I think it is cheaper to own a rarm than to rent one, because land is rea sonably cheap in Norcii Carolina and easy to acquire and taxes are reason able and not nearly so high as in other states. Above th* mere fact of ownership makes a nun feel more secure. When a man >wns a farm he naturally will keep it in better scape and try harder to improve the sol than he would if he has merely rent ed it, and of course as the soil is im proved the yields grow larger and be therefore gets a larger reward for his efforts ” Short courses in agriculture will begin at the State College of Agri culture on January 111 and last through January 17.

Down in the Shelby drug stores now that Christmas is approaching they are advertising perfumes, can dies, stationery and such like for St. Nicholas hosiery fillers, but listen drug stores have changed in the last 20 years. Changed, Jiminy! In The Cleveland Star in 1896 Kendrick and Kendall, druggists and pharmacists, operating at the old Gidney stand, were advertising horse and cattle pow ders, soap, linseed and Castor oil. Make a comparison. For that matter J. T. Gardner, then proprietor of Gardner's Pharmacy was telling Star readers what suitable gifts necktie holders and 8-day alarm clocks would make. Yes, and in the same Star the Bel mont Cotton Mills were asking for 5,000 bushels of cotton seed at 11 1-2 cents per bushel, and L. C. Crater had a notice about his tonsorial parlor, which adjoined the Love buildings, but nothing was said about "bobbing” and we bet the ladies of that day would have about as soon ventured into a rat menagerie as a “bobber” shop. Recently wo read the headlines about the Gaffney-Columbia, cham pionship football came. One line read “Halter will be Off Gaffney Squad.” The head attracted our attention and down th" column we perused to learn wha‘ mishap caused the start what ever-he-was to be out of the line-up. And nowhere did we again encounter Halter's name in the column story. Finally it dawned that the star we were seeking was only restraint and ‘hat the Cherokee eleven would “he five n the rein” as they say on the track. These headlines. In the hunting laws Cleveland county the season for “Deer” is set forth as from October 1—February 1, and the announcement comes as a sur nrise to Abner Nix. who avers that he never before heard of an off season for hunting “dears” in this county. ITowheit. there must be a difference, for the hunting license for the Octo ber 1—February 1 deer is $10 50— and the other is only three bucks. Which recall an incident at the re cent “Ladies Night” program at the Kiwat'is club. At each cover was an attendance slip to he signed by mem bers and guests. The slip was on this order: GUEST ___ OCCUPATION __ REMARKS__ -_ One young nh—well, it wasn’t any body’s wife—filled the slip as follows: GUEST— Miss ( _) OCCUPATION—Winning a hus band. REMARKS—Failure so far. ’Cept she put her name. How’s this asks the “printer’s de vil”: “Young Pierpon* Steinhow Had a car quite nifty Now he has a marble brow He flipped a corner at fifty.” Near the two fountains are two stones buried in the grass. Some Shelby people know of their presence, others do not. The two markers are ofttimes used to prove the instru ments of civil engineers, as they give the standard North, South, East and West. On top of each stone is the carved compass and N. C. G. S. and U. S. G. S. S. together with the date of their erection—1899. Mr. W. R. Newton, who was present, says that the geological experts of the state and national societies intended re turning later to place the altitude on the markers, but for some reason this was never done. What we want for a home is a place like you see described in one of these real estate “ads.” Or a lot large enough to comply with the city ordin ance regarding canines. Hereabouts, and practically all ov er the sta’e, lately ther" has been an epidemic of colds something like the “flu.” An unusal thing about the epi demic is that it produces what, is call ed the “sore head,” or apainful feel ing on the exterior of the head. In some instances the head becomes so tender that a touch produces consid erable pn:n. Out near Waco, a local doctor relates, one fellow had it so bad that he called his wife to come and “feel how sore my head is.” Now you know it must’ve been sore. Groom of 90 Years Marries Girl of 75 Statesville Daily. Mr. John Davidson, of Alexander county, aged 90, and Miss Vida Wal lace, of Wilkes countv, aged 75 were married yesterday afternoon in Tay lorsville by Rev. L. L. Moore. This makes the groom’s fourth marriage. The bridal couple made the trin to Taylorsville in a buggy drawn by a jenny, with the groom driving.
