—SHELBY SIDELIGHTS— By Renn Drum. This is a good one—for the young folks. Last week a group of chorus Kiris., about six in number, passed through Shelby headed for a show at ‘Ashe ville. The ear in which they were travelling needed repairs upon reach ing Shelby and so the < horns had about 20 minutes of leisure here. The leisure may it be : aid was spent on a bench On the court square park arid for 20 minutes the big Krupp eun on the square WAS NOT the i enter < \ attraction as crowds of men, some, young and others spfigh.lv for them nge, walked to and fro by a certain bench. A® Which might he a tip io the Beam brother*,xkiiu vaudeville would go good in i^neffy. • I Who knows, there irw he seme Karl Carroll perjury in Shelby v.liea this is read and certain nusbands are asked if they Were strolling on the eoun square that day. Cnrtoll was merely a large city edition of a man anyhow. The late Tom Marshall, vleo-pro.-! dont during the Wilson regime ■> not the only politician who has wish ed for a “good five-eent »:gar.” Several fellows about Cleveland county were Sunday secretly wishing they had found rucli a commodity ami distributed it widely. But present day five-eenthrs Would have placed them far behind on the ticket, and ten. centers would have played 1 avoc with the bank-roll. So there you go. The introduction of a perfectly good five-rent cigar ohom campaign time Would assuv? a greater quantity of peanut politician: . Several old-timers about Shcdhy, members of the Kiwanis dub, are eon sidering getting out in the woods ttnd hurling a few horse shoes. They were adept at the game years'ago and feel that they, should bruslt/up eta the “ringers” before the big gathering of neighboring luncheon dubs .is held at Cleveland Springs, Shelby recently had two fires, both near serious, coming close together, which reminds one that Shelby is growing at such a pace that some day two bad fires, and perhaps, more, will come at the same time, and then the present truck will have to in divided about the middle of the chas sis so as to Combat both blazes, In case that cannot he done, the colyum’s advice is io see some of. these fellows that sell fire insurance and get the Lome covered td the hilt. They have fired, bad fire?., every* where, y’know, except- in Heaven and Utopia. And Shelby is neither, al though Commerce Secretary Clint Newton says it spells success. Yes, ihat noise one misses these days about the court square is tlateber Webb's hearty laugh. The city at' Shelby Is out of debt— completely and for the first time i i years. Now our guess is that the city hasn’t been in the mountain real es tate business. Up on the FaHston road, Highway 18. several miles out of Shelby is the old home \yhere the late Rev. Thomas Dixon lived while he served pioneer Baptist churches in the county, and at the old home is a contrast between farming years ago and that of modern viiries. Today Cleveland county has near a half dozen modern sweet potato stor , age houses where the potatoes or.1 properly graded and preserved the winter through at a ccvtain tempera ture. Up against the stone chimney at the old Dixon homo is the oid-tinm method of Keeping the potatoes. A lit tle log bin built against the chimney where the notntoes might derive hrat from the fire kept throughout the The rank is but the guinea’; .stamp. 'fttal man’s the crowd for a’ that.

Dr. Potcat reminded the trustees that he had long ago expressed a de sire 1.0 retire when he was 70 years ■ of age. This birthday will be reached , next October. However, he did not sun mil his resignation or indicate that he would. His statement to the trus tees was merely in ihe form of a re minder that his seventieth birthday war. approaching.

C., was known as the strongest’man in those parts. Of wiry build and great endurance it 13 said that he could “whip” any man for miles around. He admits that he made abeliever” out of many a bully. His stiong constitution stood by him well and last April 7 th he cele brated his one hundredth birthday. He is cheerful contended—an inspira tion io all who know him. His only trouble has been irregularity of the bowels, requiring strong purgatives every few days. These were very ills tressing and ‘ weakening. About a month ago he commenced to use the great herbal remedy known as HERB JUICE, and wTfrn seen at his hbme he said: "It is a good medicine and I be lieve it will do all you claim for it. My fit-Bi. bottle is nearly gone. I find that it regulates my bowels easily ard is pleasant to take.” Mr. Pearson was able to sign his own statement and his family agreed with him in recommending it to his many friends. “For kale at all drug gists.
