Veterns In Gray Gather Here For Annual Reunion « Shelby was host today to a Utile group of bent and aging nron—a group, however, that represents every thing the Old South stood for, valor, chivalry, bravery and fighting <;uali At the annual dinner given at Cleveland Springs only '18 county vet eran* were present as guest- of the local U. D. C. The tittle band of nvr who followed Lee and Jack- on hnvo dwindled considerably since last vent. Each passing year takes a h'eav or toll. But today they vere happy again, gathering on the court square early in the rooming they exchanged memories and life stories. Then at 10 they moved onto the re <nt park for their annual entertainment. The high note of the day v.-'-s ad dress to the veterans by J>r. Krni Thacker, son-in-law of the late Rev. Thomas Dixon, a family that ■ > nds high in Southern h t< ry, th • maki-g of Which the 48 old fellow know r. u h about. Another interesting feature, of The morning was the presen ( f Old Phil Hoseboro, aged slave negro, who serv ed along with hi “whike folk.-'1 dur ing the war and in now receiving a pension from the state for; sticking with the men of the (' nfodeney. Some of the kind-heart I <•! I veterans asked that Phil be taken dong ai.d out on one side the old cbLved Pjan partook of the annual dinne • and 1 t'ei proved entertaining to maty c? the veterans in recounting h war ex periences.

She started. “I don’t know,” she murmured, “but the coincidence is very strange." “W’hat coincidence?'” asked her father. “Archibald asked the same question ajjout your income.” 3 3 3 3 3 J ! i 5 3 3 J 3 3 J > 3 3 > > J 3 3 ! 3 1 3 | ! 3 »t I Bank Checks Used For Mind Play You it down at your desk in the off ce, with problem in mind. You take out your pen cil and begin to figure. You notate and you notate, and as a rule the figuring goes down on the first bit of paper that ( < omcs to hand. Which leads us immediately to the point of this brief skit, j The chances are, according to i Shelby bankers, you are using ( a check pad for your figuring. If you do not pull this part.- J cular stunt, you are the ex- j cent on and not the rule. The 2 rule is there checks are used j for drawing various and sun- j dry sums from the bank, and f in paying various and sundry I bill's, but as we have sa.d—for figuring. | Rankers in Shelby are rather | on their ear about the practice, | claiming it is unfair and to say the least a trifle expensive. I One banking establishment in 1 the (ity announced this week that gentle little diversion of 3 tiicr' dear pubi c was costing • about four hundred dollars a | year. I And four hundred dollars I would buy four new typewriters, j a couple of second hand auto- j mobiles—-it would even build a i house. „ i The plea is made to the dear I public—to conserve the checks. Remember—we are admonished to say—that they cost good money. They are g.ven for use in the banking interest, not to compute the cost of a new I panama with eight per cent discount. Have a heart—that’s the idea. I Useless Ofnafmcnt Sociable Mistress—And where’s your daughter, Sarah? Servant—Well, ma'am, to tell yo>t do troof, she was so useless round de house'da t 1 sent her out in service. Wanted An Illustration Man fishing—You better run along to school now, sonny. Hoy—No, I have to write a co n position today on the fish, and I want to see how one looks. Happy marriage: A union wherein one is content and the other resigned. -ELLIS TRANSFER COMPANY - WE HAUL ANYTHING—ANYWHERE - ELLIS TRANSFER COMPANY - —PHONE 100— WALKER DISHWASHER-SINK At last—a Sink o}Dreams To the thousands of Walker Dishwashers already bei;ig used by enthusiastic women is now added a combina tion of the tried and proven Walker with a beautiful porcelain enamel sink.

SCHDOL f One of Most Spectacular and Effcc-i [ tive School Entertainment Ever • Presented In County On last Friday afternoon at five o’clock more than a thousand parent.* i I and lriends gathered on the lawn of the Marion school to witness one of the most effective and spectacular entertainments ever presented in Shel j by. . ) Under the direction of the teachers the outside of the building had been decorated with vines and flowers, and | temporary shrubbery placed here and ; there on the lawn. Artistic trellises , had been erected and covered with ! flowerR. With this most artistic set i ting and background, the children ren j dered their unique and beautiful pro gram in two parts. ! Part one was a Lilliputian wedoing I with little Miss Elizabeth Holcombe jas the bride and Master Robert Spang I ler as the groom. The “ceremony-’ j was performed by .James Washburn 1 and W’ilson McDiarmid in clerical | garb. W'alter Laughridge was the I ring bearer, and a large number of children from the primary grades j acted as attendants. All were dress ; ed in correct form for “a rainbew ’ wedding’’ of the niosr up-to-date type, the beautiful colors of tne costumes and bouquets being very effective against the background of vines and flowers. The marching and acting of the children gave evidence of much talent and excellent training. Part 2 was a Library Project, ren dered as a pageant in six divisions, representing: Mother Goose Stories, Nature Stories, Fairy Stories, Uncle Remus Tales, Ifistory Stories and Geography Stories. This part of the program was pai ticularly ti’nely and appropriate, ns one of the chief projects of the Marion school during the school year has been the increasing of its library by the addition of nearly 200 volumes. The program of Pari 2 however, was too varied to permit detailed descrip tion but the idea of a bool: was very cleverly represented by means of a large canvas book cover placed on the school porch. From the pages of the “book” stepped “Old Mother Goose,” followed by children representing al! the characters so dear to childJoal. Then came characters from other types of primary stories learned in school, each character in appropriate custume, with some song, recitation, or action to represent some well known story. Nature myths were represented by a character for each flowor, while Elsie Gidney in a well I designed costume represented the hut j tcrfly in the scene, and flitted from \ flower to flower. [ Brer Rabbit an* Brer Fox were fol lowed from the pages of the book by “Uncle Remus” and an intent and ab sorbed “Little Boy.” Tho history and geography pageants were varied and complete. “The Highland Fling,” by Mary Linb-rger nnd Matilda Jenks, represented Scot land. The “Spanish Tandango” was the best number nnd included more than fifty children dressed in Span ish costume. Mary Jenkins and G. B. Kendrick led the “dance." “Uncle Sam” (Colin Gardner) and “Miss Col umbia" (Elizabeth Gidney) looked on, and at the close of the dance all the characters, including the Chinese, the .Jap, the Indians, the Pilgrims end the Dutch as well as many others assem bled on the steps for a final sang. The music throughout was f>xcelienL Charles Switzer was “Master of Ceremonies” and he was indeed a “master." 100 mgn praise cannot do given me parents for making the pageant pos sible by preparing the costumes; to the children for their effort in pre senting the rmteant; and finally to the teachers who worked so long and faithfully in training the children. The teachers of the Marion School are: Misses Jane Moseley, principal; Matilda Lattimore, Bessie Brake, Lucy Hamrick, Bara Carroll, Mary Griffin, Mary Gidney, Laura Corn well. Albert Royon. a Frenchman, re centlv escaped from African natives by whom he had been held as a slave for three years.

A. D. James, member of The Star staff, who during his newspaper career in Philadelphia became closely acquainted with the' inside of the Ross case, the Ross home and photos of the family, was as tounded Monday morning when he saw Dellinger for the first time and noted what appeared to hint to be un mistakable likeness between the photo of the Ross boy and the man who seems likely to be the same boy ad vanced some 60 years in life. Make Photos Together Monday morning The Star had a photo made Of Dellinger and Gaffney together. They are the two central figures in the widely-read story as Mr. Gaffney’s affidavit is one of the strongest bits of evidence in the clear ing of the man’s identity. The Denver man still express es strongly his dislike for newspaper writers and others who insinuate that he is after money. He adds the infor mation, which IS correct, that the Ross fortune has been spent and that providing himself to be Ross is noth ing of a monetary value to him. It would merely give him the opportun ity of leaving a settled name to his children, and that he Is fond of the youngsters U easily discerned. While here he secured a bundle of ‘comic papers” to take home for the children to laugh over. His memory is remarkable. While in Shelby he made many marvel by his recollections and the manner in which he recalled dates, names, ad dresses and other detail. Needless to say the Denver man en joyed the day walking about the town where was first "broke'’ the story that attracted the interest of news paper readers the world over. 3HELBY LOSES TO GASTONIA OUTFIT (Continued from first page.)
