Now nr-ik-- Vour guns-os. And to top it off we believe hr'll find practically all <.£ tit8, houses “full up" since here's always such a de mand t'hror.gl Tit:.* f•'ti*r' “penny col umn::” for rooms and homes. What’s more Nichole: knows Hi- business, ot he wor-hlnt i.e an official ensus taker. The other night the sidewalks of Shelby suddenly livened . up. with a merry old quilt ir.g party tune. The strains came front what an old-timer would Win a fiddle, known to modern istaas a violin. Naturally, the soda water fa'.:- and nigh*.-owls thought it to he Oscar, the sidewalk concert pet rifi(ul. But it w i n't. Instead the sounds trac’d to .their source, founts J. G. McNeely, prominent dealer in la dies fashii uiblc ready-to-wear, lean ing ugainr- a store front, with a fid dle a mid ship of his body, and plying with an experienced touch across tV twanging strings, with Oscar- stand ing nearby, patting his toot and his Harris and perhaps wishing for such talent. Now Shelby k anxious t<> know ' about Mr. Me Neely’s past since they've, hoard the romping old ccrn-shucking tune. There are oddities galore. The blind ] men and cripples of recent years as1 they carry on tln-ir business of hep- , ping on the street corners usually make their plea with music, modern music. The hand-organs and other im plement-; of harmony frequently peal forth the latest jazz. Oveh ort the post office steps Friday morning eariy ar rivals found somethin;- different. An old blind negro man crooning a plan tation lullaby that has almost been forgotten. It wasn’t deled out as the negroes t tug nowadays, but chanted as only old-timer; can remember. The change in harmony proved profitable. Imagine a dauntless aviator, that flits about hundreds of feet up in the clouds with -never a thought of fear, getting dizzy in an ordinary porch swing, or feeling sick when ascending a tail building. Sounds like bosh, wt admit, but Sid Moib y, the ydutiful Lenoir aviator, who operated his plane recently at Cleveland Springs, is just uch a fellow. When Sid, who hns piloted his trusty plane 2,000 and more feet above old Mother Earth, goes to see his best girl—the one that thinks him the bravest dare-devil living—he has to *cer her away frcm the porch swing for fear he’ll get dizzy and fall out Added to that Sid felt a bit seasick at stomach when aloft in the Wool worth building. Can you beat it? Remind:, u of Jack Dempsey, the champion bruiser of all time, being ordered about,by a petite movie star. Miss Susan l.andc n while in the I? cling Springs section arranging for her b'g pageant at the recent farmers’ picnic noticed a sign on an under f*’k,*rY window that seemed a little odd to her. It read: “Undertakers and Uuncrai Director:',—Lowering Devices at J all M dern Conveniences.” So, these who read the etlumn and feel that TTFe is hardly worth the lining re v know where to make application to hi lo've I'd 'with all modem con veniences. It’s, grand t > know that these who live* in a v/< rid where hous es at" advertised ‘with all modern ccrvvfT:iences” have the privilege, of departin''- without interfering with their style. And sneaking of signs, there’s a fill;u ..station ju t out of Rockingham on. Highway 20 that advertises its wares a-; follows: ‘Tires. Tubes and Eveessiries.” After buying spare adornment’ galore for our favorite flivver and seeing that she is still a Lizzie or that he is still a Henry, we’re ready to agree with that filling station proprietor In saying that some ‘‘accessories” :u least are “exeesair ie.i.” In every kind’s court, according to the picture books o: our childhood, there's a king':; jester—an ever-ready entertainer for the royal blood. l-heiby a kingly place, must need hold some of the kingly customs, and so, Red Newman. Not ntetny moons back Red, who sees a joke a dnoun in nearly every thing including a funeral—unless ’tis hir-r—was an appendicitis patient in the Shelby hosiptal. When he reached the ■tage of the roller chair he wheeled from room to room, much in fire de nartment style, and proceeded to tease fellow patients. His favorite worry was: “Well, old fellow I'm sorry you’re not getting along so well. They tell me ‘something has set in’.” That “something has set in” soon became a big laugh along the corridors. How ever, one day Red was able to - de part, and therein comes a renewal of the proverb “he who grins last, grins the wiliest.” Red came back in a few days sicker than ever and those he tormented greeted him as he passed through the door and down the corri dor with: “Red, old boy we're sorry, but it appears that ‘something has set in’.” As it is now Red is almost ready to return to his fire department fcert'i after having overpowered t'H. ■ but we're betting a . V,',,;: ’'m' ag<4in»t Kylan that “someth. ' 'r^ in”'in a phrase that h.,v' <M ^ t-ankn! from Red’s vocabular'" ^ ticisms. 1 "t With the calendar turni- v •, k niben football fans (,r w- ' s‘> i- “chock-full,’ are tarn,....' •, Ljr r.port pages and wannerinp. ” ^ many more home runs Coach V.f’* --orris will have to crash ,.ut f ' Greenville club before he js aJi :w return to Shelby and get the -w>^° of his “wonder eleven” ,.<,t f,,r “ lice.
