Cut the Holidays Of importance t > the school child ren of the count;; is the announce- j ment that the county board of educa- ! tion at it- meeting this week decided to allow tin schools of the county only one week vacation for the Christ mas holidays. One week for .Christmas, that may not sound like good news to the chil dren, but their parents getting the idea of the county board in giving only one week agree with that deci sion. The board figured that the children of the county will be needed badly on the farms in the spring and that by giving only one week for the Christmas holidays the schools could be closed earlier in the spring than if more time was given in the Yuleticie season. The selection of which week it shall be is left up to the heads of the various schools.

Judge B. ( T. Falls, local attorney, appeared for , the district in presenting the petition. According to the county-wide plan of school consolidation the Cabaniss district is grouped with Union, the petition, however, asking that the plan be modified for consolidation with Lattimore. Action on the mat ter was deferred for the present and until the board has time to investi gate it thoroughly.

Still better new* for ('l»veland county farmers. There were 35, .'196 hale* of cotton ginned in the county up until December 1, ac cording to an announcement made Thursday by Miles II. Ware, spec ial agent. I nt 1 ’this late season in the year the cotton crop of 1925 still leads that of 1921. I’p to Decem ber 1, 1924. only 35,016 bales had been ginned in the county, which is 2H!) bale* behind the first of December report of this year. However, it must be remem bered that the C'op this year U several weeks, estimated at three, early and that practically all the., cnt*on in the county has heen gin ned, while on the other hand sev en or eight thousand bales were ginned after December 1^ Ust year. Beginning early in the season when the effects of the drought first began to be felt those Inter ested in cotton in this section, which is practically the entire cit izenship. began estimating how much the county would drop In production owing to the dry sea son. Early season estimates even by the optimists scarcely passed over the 30.000-bale mark, whil^ the majority of the estimates were b«tween 23.000 and 30.000 hales. I.atcr in the season the crop outlook appeared some better, but few plac-d their estimates as lii"h as .Vi,000 hales. Six hundred and four more bales will make the crop reach 36,000 and it has been 10 days since the last report. Some of the cotton experts say that the total will barely pass the 36,000 limit, while I others say the crop will do well to re-rh that mark as there hn* b'-en little cotton ginned since the first and that there_U «till a very small onsntity to be .ginned. A 36-000 hale crop will be *hv only 6,000 bales from that of last year. Mrs. T. M. Putnam Dies at Waco Home A death of peculiar sadness to the friends of the family was that of Mrs T. M.

Shelby is increasing rapidly in pop illation and out in rural Cleveland county the population is also grow irg, but marriages in the county are decreasing in number, according to recent statistics issued. There were 107 marriage licenses issued in the county in 1924 by Reg ister of Deeds It. Lee Weathers, while only 10 divorces were granted in the same year. That should be news to those who say the divorces are out numbering the marriages. However, the figure is less than that of 192!> end will perhaps be less this ypar. Among the nearby counties having n-ore marriages in 1924 than Clave land were Gaston with 288 and Ca tawba with 351. Lincoln With 104,', Rutherford with 189 antf 'Bufke With 96 wort below Cleveland. Catawba With 21, Gaston with IT and Rutherford with 31 outnumbered this county’s divorces. Burke with K and Lincoln with five did not have as many as this county. Court record so far this year will in all probabil ity show that the divorce high mark tor last year has already been sur passed. In 1924 horsy th county topped the list with 1,076 marriage licenses is sued, Guilford coming second with I,* 046 and Wake third with 930. Meck lenburg county was fourth. In 1923 there were 1,026 marriage licenses is sued in Forsyth county, 1,159 in Guil ford and 935 in Wake. Clay cour.'y stood at the bottom with 16 license^ last year and 27 in 1923. For all of the 100 counties there were 23,100 marriage licenses grant ed in 1924 and 24,028 in 1923, a de crease of 838 or 3.5 per cent. As to divorces Mecklenburg stoed third in 1924 and 1923. in the formet year 60 being granted and in the lat ter 67.7 Buncombe was most active ih this matter, granting 102 decrees in the former year and 99 in the latter year. Forsyth came second with 93 and 85 respectively, Guilford being third with 85 and 87 respectively. Last year but a single divorce was al lowed in either Caswell, Gates, Gra ham Mitchell, Perquimans and Yad kin, while two were granted in each of Alleghany, Bladen, Dare, Jackson, Onslow and Pamlico. No divorces were reported from Camden, Clay, Chowan, Currituck and Jones.

Only Eleven More Shopping Days Be fore Christmas ‘ Development Of Cleveland Springs Park To Include Fine 18-Hole Golf Course Preliminary Plans For Huge Resort Develop ment Show Outline of Attractive Links That Should Draw Hundreds. Big Club House to be Built With Water and Rolling Hazards. A temporar* design and plan for the mammoth resojrt development pro pped at Cleveland Spring by the Marshals, wealthy Florida developers, as p a n d l.y E. S. Draper. Charlotte, landscape expert, outlines what would be o .e <U the most a'tractive 18 hole srolT courses in this section of the South, the pros osed course, which would supplement the present nine-hole course, wo I I ol.er a v'«rteS run of fairways that should be a (treat drawing card for hundreds «.f followers of the modernized Scotch game. The big course as it wuuld wind about the hills and dales of the Cleveland Springs estate pre sent- several waicr hazards, heavy uphill drives, sloping fairway* and level straight ahead*. 1 n'-‘ I'niiminary outline of the on t;rt development, including the golt wur-ie, has been turned over to the Marshall* at Clearwater, Fla., for ap proval. it is understood. Another copy is said to be in the hands of local of ficials of the hotel company. It is not definitely known, as no announcement has been made, wheth er or not the Marshalls will approve I the first plans, but it is practically j definite, reports have it, that nine new holes, offering attractive fair ways and approaches will be added to the present nine hole course. How- I ever, it is more than likely that the other nine holes will be built anew ir. another section of the development. Location of Course. The first proposal of the new 10 to 18 holes, it is understood, places them on the same side of Highway No. 2<; as are the nine holes now in use and covering the same general section, only advancing more to the west and crossing the small stream south of the present bridge on Highway 20, just on this ^ide of the hotel approach ing Shelby. 1 Un nig Club House. The central club house building as planned will be located more than likely just east of the residence of John Wynn Doggott at the eastern extreme of the hotel estate and on the same side of the highway. Driving from near the club house the first hole will be in the neighborhood of A»e hotel garages and outbuilding, swinging bgcjk' keros* the big fill, run ning through the present course, to the highlands to the south rear of the building, and from there across the stream, where big water hazards will be made, several holes being south ot highway and behind the Willie Wilson homesite. From that point the fair ways will awing back across the dale to the high grounds opposite, aro ;nd the second hill and back across the rolling land to a close distance of the site of the proposed club house. The course, including the holes 10 to 18, should prove a treat to golf ers. It will include numerous long holes with semi-trapped grens one or two short mashie pitches down grade, and one unusual fairway with the drive directly uphill with rear trapped greens necessitating a pen alty for over shots. Those acquainted witn the lay of the proposed course say that it will blend the hill and rolling fairways of Linville and Blow ing Rock with tire beautiful level and sloping fairways of the present course here into one of the unusual attrac tiveness to those who delight in a course with varied runs. The Other Nine. If the present nine hole course is discarded, which now appears likely, the so-called first nine of the plans will be located north east of the hotel, across Highway 20 to the northeast and also beyond what is now known us the Elizabeth road, planned as a big boulevard in the development. The first hole, rather tee, will be in the section on the left of the Elizabeth toad going east and directly north, east of the proposed club house. From that point the course sweeps down the grade, across a stream, back to the southwest. From that poin; it breaks back in the general direction of the hotel, following the curve of the Elizabeth road towards the junc tion of the road with Highway 20, bringing the ninth hole in the region behind the residential lots owned by the Shencks and opposite the hotels Big Sport Reservation. The plans, officials say, call for 163 and a fraction acres to be devoted to the golf course, hotel grounds and as reserve areas. The remainder of the present property of the hotel company will be, or rather is being planned into the proposed residential develop ment, including the hill sites on the stream between the Willie Wilson prop srty a ltd tii j hotel, where the pi-ii- eet I __;_ • nut n dam, supposedly for a lal;e, while other sections of the develop ment will be east along Highwny 20 and along the present Elizabeth road for a considerable distance east, call ing for streets, avenues and boule vards. The Marshalls are expected here at an early date to go over the plans and make definite announcements re garding the development and also ar rangements for the beginning of work there.
