De sire To Get Well Won Here’s a story with a moral. The moral is, you are not whipped until you are whipped;' you are not through until you are through; ar.d as long as you’ve got your courage with you, no matter how deep down in the ditch you may be, you’ve got a chance to get out. Our narrative has to do with Mrs. Russell Laughridge, who lias many triends and well wishers in this com munity, and for whom many earnest prayers were said in the months gone by. It reveals a triumph of will pow er. Mrs. Laughridge was brought home to Shelby last fall t.o die; the great est specialists in Baltimore, even those at Johns Hopkins, having given her up. She is an earnest young wo man, the sort people like. And people like her husband. Her condition caused widespread sorrow. It seemed odd, uncanny; a young woman slowly dying of un unknown malady, tfte identity of which baffled the greatest doctors—and nothing could be done. It was a question of time all said. And people waited. Then the unexpected happened .Mrs. Laughridge fooled them; site fooled everybody, doctors and all. Today .-he is so far on the road to recovery that comparatively she may be said tc be well. She is not only able to go out of the "house, but goes automobiling and to the pictures. She is back in the world and of it once again. — Meantime—she had seven years of such suffering as few in this world know. A representative of the Star, ■*:nding her seated in the open air at li e Courtview today, said to her: 1 Yon have had such an experience .3 few know. Tel) me about it; wh.-t 'brought you out; what pulled you through?” “I suppose,” was the reply, “It was determination to live. I tried hard to fight my way out. and I did fight out] Pit* I can not say ii was all deter* r ination because there were times when I was too far gone to realize what wa> going on, to realize my real condition. Perhaps it was alio laith ” She has gained flesh; may actually he said to be stout, and looks well. Her smile is bright. She is hnck to the point where she enjoys life. \hd i! wtuE§n that spirit of deliverance he alked. “I fought awfully hard,*' she went cn. “And I fought virtually all the ti ne. I tried never to give un. Ai d gradually I began to grow better, and ihe better I became the more hope I bed. Hope is n great tonic. “Of course my diet has helpefl me. too. Doctors, not even the biggest flies of Baltimore were ever ahle to find out what was the matter with me. \11 they could find out was that cer iums foods—those that contain pro tein. poison me. So that I avoid as nearly as I can those things that hurt me. “So that diot has of course helped rre greatly. But I tn'nk I may sty j that determination to li'’e pulled me through. And T think if anyone who , -vas JiS ill as T was can come out. whole and'well'again, there is hope for almost e' tnone.” 1 1 Minister Wants Stores Closed Early Saturday That the stores and business htvu.--.ea of ShfMby i io.-e <-aiT<r un Saturday nights was ad va cated by Rev. If. N. McTtmrnnd in his sermon the past Sunday at the Presbyterian church. “It would be better it the stores would close at least l y !» o’clock on Saturday nights,” the minister stated. Reasons • t v a need for the advocation wife that employers would thus give, their employes more time, to prepare for the Snbb nth, and tor the training in the Sunday schools. An earlier closing would enable business hoese employes to prepare Sunday school lessons and other topic ; on Saturday night and also gi e them more time in which to re lax and rest before Sunday which would lessen the number of late risers who do not get to Sunday school, the Tatter ,ng gestiOn not being that of the Presbyterian pastor. So far no movement is on f*. >t publicly known at least, push ing the early closing hour. Mr. Lamar Vaughn, popular young barber who has been working for a tew weeks at Austell's Barber shop, <.:°d Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home of his aunt. Mrs. George A. Liam on N. Washington street where he had been boarding. Mr Naughn had been suffering for many vears with asthma and had sought the best medical attention, spending cor. siderabla money at Toledo.

All who knew him learned to admire his fine traits of character. His barber friends and customers ! ebb I him in highest esteem and his I sudden death is a shock to all.

The developer was follow ed by several others who expressed their faith in the future of Cleveland Springs Estates.

Following the banquet and by a vote of the several hundred present the men forming the line were given the privilege of going home and returning to their places early in the morning, having numbers indicating he early formation of th» line. Eleven lots were reserved at the 1 anquet. the sales being handled by the realty offices represented. Those buying were men who had visited the main office direct and did not want to choose between the agents. Realty agt nts present drew for their choice of the eleven sales. In two hours after the opening Tuesday morning more than two dozdti lots were sold in addition to the many reservations, all sales being private rr.d handled by representatives of local-realty offices.

To encourage immediate building the developers and directors have of. fired a 45 per cent reduction to the first 10 completing homes in the de velopment. The heavier sales seem just ahead .md from the large number of people touring the property the plan of Mi. Marshall for selling the first unit, Hilltop section, before June 1, seems likely.

According to information obtained here the chi'd was in Henrietta with its parents vis iiing relatives. The mother had been holding to die hand of the child ns they walked together down a street, looking for a suitable place to cross. The mother told the child .that they would cross further down the street out the child misunderstood and thought she said they would cross where they were. A car had just pass ed leaving a train of dust in its wn.ke i nd the child attempted to dash acros* the street, whereupon another car driving at a rapid iUte of speed came into the dust cloud and the fender of the car struck the child. knocking him thirty stops or more. The child was badly bruised and rushed to the Rutherford hospital where it died later. It is understood that the par ents do not wholly blame the driver of the car because the driver’s vision was obscured by the cloud of dust. Mr. and Mrs. McMahen have the sympathy of their host of friends. The five year old boy was their only chi' anti naturally the tragedy has caused great sorrow in the home. Mr. McMahan is one*of the popular over seers at the Shelby cotton mill.
