MONDAY, DEO. 21, 1025. Oh, well, it is only three more days. Shelby has the appearance of the modern city again. The col legiate set has arrived. « One Rood thing the inquiry 3xnrd had a nice word for Miteh elj’s war record, but their objec tion seems to be that ho keeps ^wirriug after the amistiee. --— o A fellow usually starts about -this early in the season to writ jpg his New Year resolutions, and about as early after Jam’ 13Ey 1, to breaking them. j?

Pc; haps your ec n.tribut ion has been made to Cue chan'y fund for Shelby, nod twain it r. av not The appear should be give? ? • ous eonsideratio 1. It is a wor'hv tine, and hard to r*. sis < n ? it enters right. There may he the idea v. iCi you that the contributions will not be as well handle! a- van plight distribute them yourseii Frankly, that is a mistaken thought. The survey and distri bution is in the hands of men who have made a special study f -.-*.. of the needy families. Their list was made, then the less needy eases eliminted until only these in actual want will be served first. The eases are known by numbers. Sometimes such cases arc too delicate for names to be mentioned. It would be better so if it were you or yours, so stand by the appeal and see that not another needy home must be erased from the list because there is not enough to go to all classified—they’re the woist cses. There should be some left over for other needy families. HE BRIGHTENED THE PATH. The hustling town of Forest < ity, neighboring Shetbv to the west, has cause to ponder today and pay respects. There today they put away to his final sleep a man in his section whose prerr. incnee and worth is not fully | described in the word “outstand ing”—Jake F. Alexander. Just a mountain boy he was, but he rose and at the end of his ca reen' he was a power in indus trial, banking and charitable circles in three states. He threw his strength behind banks, they thrived. He gave his support to churches, they grew stronger. He started Forest City on a ca reer that is making larger thei" del on the map. He recently gave his active aid to a mountain school. May haps the last was his greatest work as things go that are not counted in dollars and smoke from industry’s fur naces, but in men and women given a chance. Florida knew him as a banker, Georgia as a lumberman, and Carolina as builder, benefactor and as a man. NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW. The public is not supposed to know.
