She is a line scholar and will teach English, Latin, French and Music. Prices the same as last session. It is to be hoped that the citizens of the town and county will patronize this school liberally, which it deserves. This school is needed in Shelby, and will, we believe, be sustained. Let our people give Miss Norvell a warm welcome. For further informa tion apply to Mr. A. C. Miller., * * * “Scraps.” Chief of Police Jones is confined to Ids room this week.

PALMER FUNERAL HOME OPEN ALL THE TIME. —TELEPHONE Gl— l w ————... FEELINC LOTS BETTER NOW Writes Ethel May Snider Who Used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Hartford City, Ind.—Doing house work and taking care of a sick woman ■ proved 10 ue too .much for Ethel May Snider, R. R. 1 of Hartford City, until she started 'taking Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vege table Compound. Overwork had so undermined her health that she had to give up all out Ilggpri ' r«yr: jisiiw wuik.uuu wueu Mp .-"'JmI she saw this medi cine advertised in the “Star" and other papers, she went to druggist and got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. She took it regularly, was greatly benefited and now feels very much better. Ethel ,>lay Snider’s experience is similar to that of thousands of other women in all walks of life, who have sent testimonials to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn, Mass. Among those who praise the Com pound are young girls who have been enabled to attend school regularly —working girls who have gained strength and endurance so necessary to them, housewives and mothers who have found that the tonic-effect of the Compound has enabled them to per form their daily tasks more easily. jAWAVaVWVUVWWWWWVW j; What They’re Going !; |l To Wear-The Ladies j; Ladies; Gather round and give your curios- j ity full swuy. Here is <1 talk about j fall styles for women. The Me Noel.vs | are back from New York, and sitting on the front porch of her home on Lafayette street, Mrs. McNeely told The Star the big story of what women are wearing and are plunning to weai. It listens good Yes, there are n<‘W things—lots of them. And they are beautiful. Mrs. McNeely rays the new styles art quite pretty as any she ever saw—for you except the length of the women’s all are more or less conservative, if' skirts, Which are more so, if you get what she means. Toe new length is about three inches below the k ec. And that’s that. Mrs. McNeely describes a new sleeve they aie wearing—something so new and arresting as to lrni!;? you gasp. It has its beginning at the waist line— yes, it's a fact—full enough for that. And from such a balloon effect it tapers (quite gracefully) to a close fitting wrist. Fifth avenue, it is said, is giving not only the once over but the*twire and thrice over to ihis new effect— very startling. Then there are the new shades. A list of the new colorings would suggest that old has-been Solomon in all his glory was not so arrayed. There is the Chanel lied and Jungle Green—those and Black (yes, black) are the leaders. And sailor blue; that is the new blue which is alscF popu lar. And claret red and the wood shades, and Spanish Raisin must not be overlooked. As for materials, Mrs. McNeely says Crepe Back Satins and Frost Crepes Tiave the call, many of the new garments being cut with the blouse back, which is very much worn The smart thing is for the hat in coloring to match the dress. Blank hats are very smart; in fact black costumes are as smart, if not smarter than any, notwithstanding the prev lancc and beauty of the new colorings, Mrs. McNeely said. The McNeelys spent two weeks in the metropolis, where, speaking in the vernacular, they had a large time, vis iting the big shops and taking in the Broadway bright lights. Will Close Gates Of Lake Lure Dam Chimney Rock, Aug. 14.—Work on the great Lake Lure dam will have progressed far enough to close the gates and commence impounding the waters by Wednesday or Thursday of next week, according to Resident En gineer P.

The bridgye ovr Pool Creek is about finished and will be ready for traffic within a few days. Stanley Baldwin, British premier, has a collection of about 8,000 pipes, most of which have been presented to lim. «JM 1 TUNED LIKE A DELICATE WATCH on the Charlotte In the World’* First Sprint „ Classic Race (Under AAA Sanction 1697) 2 F M MONDAY, AUGUST 23 DON’T MISS THE THRIiXI Charlotte Speedway C. W. Roberts, Gen. Menace? • (A. A. A. Sanction 16»n i Only Glance At Work Department Hat* Done In Last .'«) Days Ik Convincing Has the State department pf re venue been busy the past two iiiofljth*’? Well, slightly, ns only a plant* at -ffe work it has been doing the last JO days will indicate. To begin with the automobile li cense division has taken in $327,659. 57 more revenue in the same number of days this yenr- i n until August 16—than in the same period last year, the total receipts to date being 93,523,* 113.76 as compar(>d with receipts of $4,108,85:1.97 for the same period last year. Not only was more revenue derived from the sale of license plates, but 20,669 more licenser, were sold than up to the same date last year, :> 1 T>. 750 licenses having been sold to date. But that is not all of it. More than 1,260,000 items of correspondence have been handled by the automobile license division, with regard to the distribution of automobile licenses. Sometimes three or four le tters wer • necessary to straighten out a tangle arising from one license, in which the record was incorrect, or where a change of address had been made with out notifying the bureau. During the month of July 98 cars were reported as stolen to the auto mobile theft bureau, and in the same' month 96 stolen ears were recovered most of them having been reported as stolen in previous months.
