Covington and his assistants. Last Thursday our basketball team played Poplar Springs team. I he score was 10 and 2 in favor of Beams Mill. Friday afternoon the grammar grades debated the following Query Resolved. That country life is more en joyable than city life. The affirmative won after a heated argument." Last week was clean-up and beau tifying week. We oiled our floors, put up window curtains and sh ades. A flower garden was staked oflf, and the preparation for planting was begun. 'I —SHELBY SIDELIGHTS— — R. D. — i -* Headed for 20,000 people! There is no better indication of a real growing town than a gain in postal receipts. And if you do not believe that “busi ness is picking up” at the Shelby post office just note that they are putting n “Go to the Right” sign oh the post office steps—traffic has become so heavy, in and out the swinging doors, that the step had to be taken on the steps. No doubt there are those who can remember the time when there never were—more than three people in the local post office other than the clerks. One being the “sidewalk sail or” of 15 years ago waiting on his ‘‘daily” another being the Sweet Young Thing of about the same period over at the stamping table making sure that she was getting the stamp upside down, and the third a retired farmer bored with city life (?) look ing for his farm periodical that would remove homesickness and the long ing for the moo of the contented cows and the cackling of care-free chick ens. Even today the three classes are still evident in the post office lobby, but the swirl and rush of a business city around them moves on without thought or note of their characteris tics. T’other day two youths of color, what a Northerner would call typical specimens of the vanishing race of Southern negroes, 'developed an argu ment just outside the window of the building in which The Star is “put to bed” so that it might twinkle. The con troversy soon reached the fine points. The flow of words and the passage of quips were masterpieces, like Paul Whiteman playing jazz, or a celebrat ed pianist tickling the ivory. Final ly it ended rather abruptly about as follows: “Man. ef Ah didn’t , have no mo brains dan what you got, Ah’d—” “Hesh up, boy! Ef yo’ brains was dinnamite . an’ dey doubled ever’ sec ond fo a kunnerd ycahs an’ den 'snloded, dey wouldn't blow yo’ hat off ona windy day or even ruffle yo ha:r in a siclone.’’ Now comes the word from the di rection of the general offices of the Seaboard railway that gas-electric coaches may be used Charlotte to P"therfordtnn, and eonsecuently through Shelbv. to replace the discon tinued trains. Which might be interest ing had riot She'.bv peonle decided that since the bus lines offered a good alibi for the Seaboard that they, the hu« lines, should be patronized. Our advice to the Seaboard—they failed to take it, however, regarding the dis continuance—is that if there is a de sire to make money up this way the railway should charter a couple of the big busses and go about the matter of handling passenger traffic in an up-to-date way. Do we hear a cheer, or a sneer? Since the iriarriage license book in the office of Register of Deeds Weath ers shows few entries during 1925 maybe there has been some jilting done. At least we hope none of those that ‘got the gate” take it like the lovelorn youngster over at Winston Salem. The manager of a big business firm in the Twin City realized that he had in his employ a poet when re cently the young fellow’s girl jilted him for another boy and he poured out his despair thusly: She has went, Her has gone, Her has left us all alone. She can never come to we, Us can never go to she, It cannot was. There are funny things in this con glomeration of land and water over the edge of which Chris Columbus thought he was sailing when in rea1 ity he stumbled upon a near Garden of Eden. Mr. Forrest Eskridge, cash ier of the First National, was recent ly a patient in a Baltimore hospital. One dav a young doctor rushed in: “Mr. Eskridge, I’m glad to know you. You’re the firs* man by the name of Eskridge that I ever met, yet I am a native of Eskridge, Missouri.” Nat urally the banker was interested in a town bv the monicker of Eskridge, although he had never heard of it, and the youthful interne was equally as interested in a man bearing the same name as his home town. Such is life! Once we knew an ice cream manufacturer by the name of Shelby. And he had never heard of the famous"Revolutionary war colonel or the “City of Springs,” yet he was rich before the advent of Eskimo Pie. Cam Morrison is an attorney-at law in the city of Charlotte. Store Robbed at Crouse. The store of J. Monroe Heafner, of Crouse was entered last Sunday night and robbed. A quantity of merchan dise, such as sweaters, shoes, hats, etc.,’ to the value of around $500 is missed from the stock by Mr. Heafner. Entrance was gained by a rear win dow of the store. Thus far no clue has been found as to who the robber or robbers were.—Lincoln County News. AINU I lirIK MILL PROPOSED FOR GREAT FAI LS, S. ('. _ Persistent, hut unconfirmed reports from Great Falls, are to the effect that James B. Duke and associate's- will soon begin the erection of another mill there. It is also report* d that Mr. Duke will build a bridge across the river at or near Great Falls, connect ing Chester and Lancaster counties. According to reports the tobacco and water-power magnate was a recent visiter to Great Falls on a tour of in spection and it was while ho was decided to build another cotton mill and also to bridge the Catawba. So far as is known, there has been no official announcement of these plans;! but Great Falls citizens say that they I are facts, and they are expecting building operations to start pretty shortly'. Let's plant pi'cans, and at the same time make plans to care for them. They must be R-iven fertile soil, thor ough cultivation, and good care if they are to be profitable. The notion that many folks have that pecans Will pro duce profitable crops when planted in some out-of the way place and treat ed as a forest tree is a wrong one. Start right by setting them in good soil.—The Proressive Farmer. Easel Picture Frames We have a large variety of these pretty frames in a variety of finishes and sizes.

Buying A Railroad Ticket For Florence An old fashioned colored “Mammy” approached a ticket agent, just before train time, and, with characteristic art lessness said: I wants t buy a ticket fo’ Florence.” As there is a Florence in practically every state, the ticket agent was a trifle ir ritated that the old woman had not been more definite, when he was somewhat rushed for time; therefore he quite ab ruptly asked: “Where is Florence?*' But the old Aunty was not shaken from.her aplomb, as she calmly answered: “ J hat’s her, settin’ over on that bench.” <; To be sure there’s a bit of laugh in that story, but there is reason for very serious thought when we consider that the finan cial plans of some people are rather simi lar. With no definite goal—no particular purpose, they continue to live, from day to day. They, too, are trying to buy a ticket to Florence. Our Savings Department is always open and the New Year is young enough to make a resolution to “save by a plan” this year. Put some system in your finan cial affairs. We invite your business. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHELBY In an old city across the seas there stands a statue, crumbling with age. It is the image of a man with winged feet and forelock hanging down his fcti%head. It is called “Opportunity”; the wings repre sent the short time he tarries, and the fore lock suggests that it must be seized. Often opportunity can be seized if a man has ready money saved up and can take advantage of his opportunities. Re solve to save this year. This New Year of 1925 will be a good year, or a bad year just as we make it. Resolutions are only the thought; the act is ours to perform. Rocked in the cradle of the Past, the New Year comes to us. May its coming mark the beginning of a year of usefulness and prosperity for you. Union Trust Company - SHELBY - - LATTIMORE - LAWNDALE - - FALLSTON -
