Find Many Articles In Shelby Theatre If you’ve lost anything, go to Mr. f'fiude Webb, at the Webb theatre before you try anywhere else. He hm it, more than likely, or if ne hm not he'll have something else you ve lost ami forgotten about. Several drawers in his office desk are filled with articles left there by ■ patrbnn, Addle many more are stored at the rear. The thin,?,•. found there ranee all th” wa'- from wearing apparel to srhno! books, fountain pen.-. and money. The latter is the most usual discovery, but handkerchiefs and gloves run :t a (dose second. Mr. Webb estimates that all the slaves found in his show for the past year, if gathered together in one heap, would vie with the biggest of the lot. Although many of these have beer claimed, there are still at least fifty around the office. ■Some of the other articles in the lot iirt' pocket-knives, a bank book, cheek books, a package conta ning ; three or four pairs of socks, dress goods, umbrellas, overshoes, and even shoes. It is hat'd to'explain h>w shoes managed to he left, but th'> fact re warns that they were,. Another arti cle of which a profusion is found is bats and cap:. Mr. Webb states that it is 51 rare occasion when a morning passes without something being found left in the seats, and although a list of the articles* discovered** fc+oi* sometimes thrown on the screen, very few <>! them are e^er claimed. Lincoln Far^e^Jiow Optimistic On Crop Prospects Generally ._til . .<■ Lincoln Times I In general outlook of th<j farmers oV'r Lincoln county sine ■ the ceavy vair;: 1,! last week etui is optimistic. Coming, at a very opportune time, the rains helped cotton to get well out of the ground, . hot corn up a few inches end did not harm harvested wheat to any appreciable extent. The rain ..ere general throughout the county • and the Piedmont section as wellf The wheat crop this year is unusual ly good. The stands in some fields, especially in the. eastern part of the •ounty, are thin and the plants small, but in the main, the heads seem well filled and the yield is expected to be unusually good. A good part; otVtfco ■rop has been cut and u in the' but reapers are still busy. ThepJc is ij noticeable scarcity of the old . fash ioned crtidle. in the fiekls these days. *Ite spring oat crop h; fair, though the average yield will probably b< somewhat below normal. Rye look: fin.- ip most sections. ’ Some cotton in the county is as high as eight Inches, while in ether places it was just out of the ground befcige the rains of last, week. Some * mall growths oi grass have been noticed, but if these are cleaned' o\it right away, the crop wil bo in good shape. Corn is up to normal this year, and indications point to good yield. The stand is oven and the color good. Clock 103 Years Old Sfill Keeping Time Ancient Clock Property of Wate:n In Sanford—Made In Connec ticut. Sanford.—An ancient clock, in San ford, the property of W. G. Watson, tick, tocks, tick ticks, unceasingly day by day, registering time just as accurately in its IttSrn year as it did when if. was first sent out from the * clock shop of its maker, Eli Terry, in 1'lymouth, Conn. The clock, recently r< paired by W. H. Walker, now graces "ic.fbuje In front of the latter’s shop oi> tli& corner of Moore and Wicker streets. Much hjstory* hr attached to the Idng exigtahee of the antique time ’ piece, 'fhe clock wav pun based by Mrs. Mary Ann Oliver, grandmother of the present owner, in 1823. At that time .lames Monroe was president of the United States and Thomas .Jeffer son; the author of the Declaration of Independence, was still living. The clock had been the family’s timekeep er'for 38 years when the Civil war started, and at the tinm of the Char ltston earthquake in 188(1, ii was 63 years old. It is still irirexcellrnl condition. The wood from which it was made, the most durable timber in New England, will house the simple mechanism of t.he old clock Tor a few centuries longer and the works of the old dock, if repaired now and then wPi register accurately the dawn and tv.i light of the day for many, many more years to come, it is believed.

Max Gardner, Shelby capitalist and lawyer, tells in the last issue of the Cleveland Star, that if he had follow ed the advice of One J. A. Anthony some years ago and brought real cs taff?, he would have been n rich man j now. “The town in those days,” says The Sta£ telling the incident, “could- ' n’t have passed for anything except j a town, even with the boosters. “Mr. Anthony would point out var ious strips of real estate with the j prophecy that some day that will sell for ten times fhe present price -"and in your life time, at that,” he would add. “Today, Shelby has twice the pop ulation Mr. Anthony ever hoped it would have and out at a banquet given for the opening of a great real es tate development his advice of years ago was returned in a neat compli ment. “Mr. Gardner speaking at the open ing sakl: "If years ago I had pur chased real estate -as pointed out hv J. A. Anthony, 1 could sell out today for one of the largest fortunes in the entire section of the state.'" And that is just what a lot of peo ple around here ought to know. Money invested in Gaston county real estate is just as safe, and much more so. than in some of these foreign devel opments. But at home where you can watch your purchases. Home invest ments are always safer. Do not be fooled by the wild tales of profit and | unreasonable enhancement of values i else where. First, investigate y;,M. ! home advantages. "Hints Of Farm Life’’ (By Frank Houser, Vale R-5) First in the spring-time the e- will come, The tax collector with a sum. That almost breaks the farmer' heart. When he Inks at the dollar mark. The fertilizer men from nll-n-routui. Will chase the farmer up and down' And say we know just what you need To make good Crops also your feed. The next agent then the hail storm man, Who takes the farmer by the hand. And says your crop you must insure. Before you take your mountain tour. The Ford dealer then comes in next On your beautiful crop he tnk< his text. What hn is after the farmer can see And says no use to talk to me. Agents will come till crops are sold. To get the poor old farmer’s gold. Then disappointed they will he. The farmers gold they can not see. The poor old farmer is no fool, If he does drive an old gray mule, He has a lovely little home, An old Ford car and telephone. He lives a peaceful happy life, With twelve small children and :I wife. He very seldom spends a dime, That’s how I got this thing to rhyme. The hog outlook Continues good Many North Carolina farmers are ca hing in on this farm crop this year.
