A LOT OF SHELBY FOLKS
who will miss the tottering, one
armed old fellow from his favortts
>ench on the court square in sunny
weather never knew just what im
portant role# William Harrison
Eskridge played during the Civ'l
war. To him came the honor during
the conflict of taking prisoner a j
future President of the United;
States—an honor as remembered, j
held by no other man, living or (
dead. However, it is one of the runs
of nature that modest men like that
are those who do big deeds.
AMONG THE OTHER THINGS
the late veteran left his children
Was his own diary of the part he
played in the conflict, giving many
important bits of information. The
1 account was dictated to a daughter
i and a copy given each of the chil
dren. Just think what those signed
documents will mean 50 and 75
years from now when great, great
grandchildren can show them to
their children.
i _.——
I WITH HIS PASSING THE j
thought comes of how fast the ‘boysj
In gray’ are moving on to the final
bivouac. It wasn’t’ but a few yearn
ago that a half a dozen or more of
the old fellows would gather nbout
the court house regularly and dis
cuss reminiscences. Today the few
remaining can hardly strike a time
when they can find one of their
number about the court house. Rev.
A. C. Irvin, Anderson Nolan, W. H.
Eskridge, and others. Just shadows
of the past now. but they were of
the men who built lire basis for th-*
great, progressive 8outh of today,
and many of them lived to see a re
markable land spring from the
barren country they returned to
after Lee’s surrender at Appomn
tox.
JUST T’UTKER DAY THE COL
yum took note of the fact that a
young lady from gay Paree who
dictates styles for American men
to write checks for said that the
waist line next season would be
higher. Now a render comes in with
an item written by Harry Acton,
gangplank writer, saying as how
the information was useless. “The
waist-line had to move up,” snv*
Acton. “Else, how could they make
the dress shorter.”
Thanx for the contribution. A11

THE NAME OF THE PLACE
1b Pikeville, Kentucky, but it lack*
a lot of being a tow* of pikers.
{This is another contribution). In
fact the place has it on Hollywood
for the latest item tendered to hel'i
fill the colyura says that a lady
there has married for the sixth
time. She Unfa piker and her la
test matrimonial asset surely isn’t
either for it must have taken aj
nervy fellow to become the sixth
when all the other five husbands
are ahead.
THAT’S GETTING A LONG
distance from Shelby, but here at
home we seem to have more candi
dates for mayor than that woman
had husbands. A world’s record ap
parently. If one or two more will
enter the race someone should sug
gest that they all be elected and
serve one month each. Maybe,
there’s 12, one for each month, in
the race now. We’ve lost count.
INFORMATION COMES THAI
no girls walk horns after riding
with one young fellow here in Shel
by. He drives a hearse fov one of
the local undertakers, and instead;
of taking ’em out to look at the
moon he leaves at Sunset.
JUDOE B. T. FALLS, HE WHO
represents this county In legisla
ture, should get the young vote
here in the next election. For it is
noted by the paper that he was one
of those voting against the Rever
end Mr. Haywood’s proposed ban
against petting parties and such.
IF SHELBY HAD A BABY
carriage factory it would now he

the garments needed in this earthly

shirts—for day and night wear- ■
and now a new firm is to menu
facture brushes to keep the local
ly-made clothes clean, and one of
t|e latest industries is prepared 10

Farmer’s Trouble
Gets A Diagnosis'
Gastonia Gazette.
The Lincoln County News re
cently discovered a doctor's diag
nosis of the financial trouble of
the farmer which is worth passing
along even though it may offend.
This physician was of the old
type of general practitioner in an
average small town, who carried
the accounts of many farm fami
lies on his books, usually making
collections yearly when crops were
marketed ast is the custom with
many.
On January 1 he checked up his
delinquent accounts and found
that in nearly every ease those
who had failed to pay were one
crop farmers, who made no at
tempt to raise a variety of prod
uct. When he looked over his paid
up list, it disclosed conditions some
what like this:
| One had a flock df purebred
I chickens, another a flock of cheep, a
third had brood sows, others had
dairy cows, orchards, vegetables,
| hay, and other feed for their stock.
In other words, those who had rais
ed their own food and stock feed,
or had been able to market poul
try and dairy products, had also
