AROUND OUR ill SHELBY SIDELIGHTS— i—BY RENN DRUM. Shelby it a funny place—that from a visitor in town. It has all the bus’ ling air of a growing city and all friendliness of a ‘one horsi- town' And the visitor gave the best lieiscripiio] the toWn ever received. Remarks have often been mad« as to how long people live in Shelby r.s.d Cleveland county. One authority says that living in such a clim-te it’s al most a disgrace to die before lid years. Which reminds us diat humans are not the only class to live long here abouts. Miss Nora Belle Alexander ha a hen that has been a faithful member of the flock for 22 years. In other words this chicken was a fair-sized pullet before many of the modern flappers and sidewalk sailors saw tee light of life. Then there’s Frank Spake, an eh , - trician for the city, who owns a Span ish beagle that will be 16 years oM in August, the 16th to be exact. Frank remembers it perfectly for he isn't much older. A climate where a hen lives to I s 22 and a dog reaches sixteen is no bad place to call home. Now that Henry Massey is the gen eralissimo of yte Farmers Hardware .1. I). Lineberger is finding a litt% more time to devote to increasing the so-many million meals erved per year by the S. ami W. cafeterias in which he is interested. When Shelby talks a "hanibor of commerce it wouldn't ho a bail idea to make a hustler like him secretary and let him bring so-many visitors a year to Shelby. Perhaps chan a r.ev, branch of the cafeteria could be plac ed here ar.d increase the so-many mil lion meals. Be that as .it may, our p'edictiori i that a swimming pool in August willl be a dull place in comparison with those jumping in the race for clerk of court to succeed George Webb', who announces that he will not seel; r - < lection. It might be well to re ire m her, however, that only one man can hold the office—the others will hold the bag. What is the heaviest travelled street in Shelby? And can you support your favriite street with the figures? Andrew Dellinger parked on ins front porch out the East Marian street extension on the Cleveland' Springs road last Sunday afternoon and counted 114 autos passing in 12 minutes. Mr. Dellinger was afraid to count ’em on for an hour for fear hi figures would not stretch that far. Now some one tell us if that many cars pass a given point on the Cleve land Springs road in February, what the number will be passing that same point some fine day in July? And perhapj. East Marion has the heaviest motor traffic. It brings in practically all the traffic from the cast, other roads turning into it be fore reaching town. After getting un town the ways split, many stop, of course, while others head north, south and west on a half dozen streets anil roads. By Mr. Dellinger’s estimate, the eolyum will leave East Marion in the lead until other streets have an actual count. Auto mechanics in Shelby special izing in relining brakes may conrul er tendering a vote of thanks to Lhe city of Shelby for the new electric traffic signals. Much brake lining is expected to be used in the coming months, while ^motorists get onto the system. Shelby hasn’t an underground traf fic route and is not congested enough for a subway, but nevertheless the town has a below-the-ground street. It runs from South La Fayette street, by the new Royster buildings, to Cen tral alley behind Lhe Paragon builn ■ irgs. With proper surface enclosures it should make a good guard homo for Company K, which is now locat ed in well-equipped barracks under the new buildings. It’s hard to step ahead of Shelby and Cleveland county in anything. Meaning that they’re selling moun tains here now. No, that’s nothing new, but in recent weeks the moun tains sold here were in the section from Chimney Rock west. The colyum is referring now to Cleveland county mountains. Tom Webb’s Buffalo moun tain in upper Cleveland has been blue printed and is in the hands of realty agents. The fellows around at the Hudson garage say Peggy Joyce hhs nothing on them. She’s had four husbands in the course of a few years. They have their third boss in two weeks: Char les Hocy, Arey Brothers, J. K. Grigg. Here’s a puzzle even the children can solve: What’s Shelby’s most beau tiful spot? The court square! That’s rignt. Which reminds us that several folks at><"U town, inducting some of the 'adltR. ar'’ about ready to agitate im provement in the natural appear!,net on the court square. Ii s their platform that the sipi.n- • plot should he re.grassed and «>t!> erwise given a chance to improve in appearance this spring. Along writ the grassing they expect to fidvi ■ some tree surgery and trim-lug-on the stately trees. YYhich tfte eolyum would call the best- civic move th&t' could be Made. A mere man will buy m tv spr- g clothes and a hat when' the season turns, and a woman pu’s on her cold cream and accessories ever so often t •’). and every, tie proud of the town and the historic old square forget that it would also be belter off with 1 ■ 11i< -ioing GtorgV Smyrnois i. to d-pen a rl> -<■ olate hop in the Beam block. Which is- good news to Shelby's love-lorn swait •. The girls v.ho nibble he de licious sweet a have already. b'a’ned that chocolate concocted by George and hr associates are just as good as the high-priced gpodi-V and the boys know even better about the price*.

Hunter, of this city, writes: “After I married, thirteen months apo, I suffered with dreadful pains in my sides during ... My side hurt so bad it nearly killed me. I had to go to bed and stay some times two weeks at a time. I could not work and I just dragged around the house. “1 got very thin—I went from 126 pounds down to less than 100. My mother had long been a user of Cardui and she knew what a good medicine it was for this trouble, so ghe told me to get seme and take it. 1 gen! to the store after it and be fore 1 had taken the first bottla 1 began to improve. Mv side hurt less and I began to improve in health. ... The Cardui acted as a fine tonic and I do not feel like the. same person. I am bo much better. I am well now. 1 have gained ten pounds and am still gaining. My sides do not trouble me at all. “I wish every suffering woman knew about Cardui.” NC-160 tart news item: Tomorrow this cnl \um will board a bus and start ramb ling’ vo Tampa.

Cnder ordin ary circumstances the eolyum could not get any farther from town than -he local realty agents haul ’em free oct the Cleveland road, but some thing turned up. Eight or 10 of those making the trip couldn't obtain ma ' imonial permission unless there was a chaperone. Finally, it was agreed that since all secrets that should not be add are told in the eolyum, that it \veiild be a suitable substitute to check up on the trip. Mtbbe twill.
