—SHELBY SIDELIGHTS—
_ By Renn Drum.
Incidentally, the colyuni notes in
the last Star that "Dr. SHOUT de
livered a LONG address." So we've !
heard, and the Kiwaninns did hear. 1
A* Bud Fisher remarked to his bride j
when Mutt and Jeff wanted to g<>
along on the honeymoon: “Well,
that’s the long and short of it.”
Addenda of interest' to Dr. Short>
long address was that he qu t ;; pfeacn
ing because he couldn't hold forth
for two hours at a talking Which
might act as a teminiirr ' ■ him in d
other preachers-~hu'.r d ■ ■ the con
gregation stand uji under it'.’
No, Mable, there are a f w folk *
left in Cle veland county who or’ .not
running for of fee. They'! • run Vug,

A message by ,nrfirm ffurn Ike
of Casaf announn < that he th rtk.,,
about quitting farming and otV • r
mountain occupations and start fol-j
lowing up the auction sales about j
Shelby, where he might earn a live- \
hood catching the free r.n.-y and j
prizes.
The freshest one popoed «n the col- i
yum this week is why the court
square walks were widened. IVyknow? j
It seems ns if hack n ye olden |
days the walks were wide enough !
for two men to walk along s de byj
side. Now they’re wearing ballot a
trousers ur.d such became impossi
ble therefore several extra feet of
walking space. Which explanation
seems to satisfy Mr. Kbeltoft, who
never wants to know what is 1» n;7
done, but why it is being done.
One of the old-timer.-, down to the
drug store says anyone who claims
to be Charlie Ross is m -r-ly - -ek n.7
publicity. At that we < ->’ - ider t a
better method of getting before th •
eyes of the pubi c than some of the
stunts pulled by Clarence Dai-row. or
this guy Mencken, who delight-.- in
panning the ignorance and sleepy
Stupidity of small town folks and be
lievers in a Christian religoti.
The finding of dozens of Chin 1m
Rosses may not prove a; hot re id-!
ing as the caustic remarks of Men
cken’s beliefs and sayings, but all of
the fake Rosses came nearer be ng
genuine in a sense than the other
bosh that makes good selling for his
written stuff. Which is getting too
deep for the colyuni and will be
changed into a yarn c-oming up from
a section of the country where a
number of Alabama and tieorg a
colored folks have ; ettled,
It seems as if a wedding was in
order, the story goes when the eler
x gyman glanced at the dlroinutivr
bridegroom, who stopped bes «|e a
lgrge-sized bride* and a t.ed: “lbv-s
i»oit take this woman for they law
fully Wedded wife?"
“Ah takes not'', n’ ", w-.s the
gloomy reply. “Ah’s b -e.ri Locked.
Older resident ■ of Sh-'blv, those

ego. will remember that a pine tree
stood on th- t- u-tlr.v. • corner of the
court square.
Walking by the corner last week
where workmen \v<. en -g-'d in ex
cavating for the \v di ned s dexvalk ,
LavvrcnC" Lackev rot iced a pine
burr. Picking it un hr- discovered
that though buried in the clay for
25 years or more it was in a perfect

b-fore starting to tie -nv is hard to
tell. As it is, it is as it was. If you

It is noted in a Lincoln- county
newspaper that Lincoln da ms two
cand'da,es for Superior court solici
tor—and it might he added that
every other countv in the district
b»s two or more. This county, by the
ma7' h->s only one resident eund date,
Pa* M'-Rmyer but one of the others
ts of Cleveland county parentage
and still another once practiced law
in the county. So, local folks can
wager on a Cleveland county man
end have approx.' nrtateJy three
chances out of 15 of winning—that
is every candidate is on a par, which
may be, and may not be.
Here comes a b t of sail news for
Shelby undertakers. (Imagine any
kind of news being sad for an under
taker). Since the report of a suing
pall-bearer has emanated from St.
Louis it may be a hard matter to se
cure voluntary pall-bearers, and
again it mav be an easy job. 1 be
St. Louifi story has it that a noil
bearer there strained himself li't
in«t a heavy casket and s asking $•>,
.090 damages from the undertakers.
There is no such thing as the

When You Trade Your Car
Ford Owners are continually be
ing approached by automobile
salesmen who wish to “accept”
Fords as part payment on more
expensive cars.
It is perfectly logical that auto
mobile dealers everywhere should
be eager to trade with Ford own
ers. The Ford is the most popu
lar automobile in the world. No
other used car is so easy to sell as
a used Ford because everyone
has confidence in Ford quality.
And it is not expensive to re-con
dition, since Ford replacement
parts are lowest in price.
Most automobiles carry greater
discounts to dealers than the
Ford another reason why other
dealers may offer the Ford owner
a larger trade-in allowance.
But when you come to buy a new
car, bear these facts in mind:
Tlieamountof the trade-in allow
ance you can get is not the most
important thing for you to con
sider. The big thing is the differ
ence you have to pay. Ana re
member, that the higher priced
car will not be so easy to dispose
of when you come to trade it in.
If you wish to trade your Ford for
a new automobile, stick to the car
that you know to be dependable,
useful and economical. Go to your
Ford dealer!
He will give you a fair and liberal
allowance for your present Ford
and will gladly arrange payment
of the balance to suit your con
venience.
When the deal is over, and you
have your newand improved Ford,
you will have the satisfaction of
knowing positively that you took
advan tage of the greatest automo
bile value the world has ever seen
—and saved a lot of money, too.
