Mr. Moore will work under the Carl Webb agency here. —Improving—The mnnv fremds in Cleveland county of Mr. Collis Jones will be glad to learn that he is improving from an injury he re ceived some months ago in Dur ham when struck by an automo bile while on a visit to h:s son there. Mr. Jones is still in Dur ham under the care of a physi cian. —Mr. Bryson Buys—R.

Mr. Weathers has had two serious operations recently and is very feeble. He formerly lived here, being a native of the Zion community. —Buy Oil Heaters—-Six local people are understood to have placed orders within the last few days for oil burner systems, a new method of heating homes. Crude oil is used in the furnace instead of coal. Oil is stored in a tank in the yard, the flame is lighted in the fall when cold weather starts and automatically controls itself dur ing the winter, keeping the resi dence to an even temperature all the time. It eliminates, the care and attention of firing the fur nace, taking up ashes and does away with dust. The system will be installed for use next winter. —Show Good—The Milt Tolbert show now appearing in Shelby is credited with taking rank with the old time Milt Tolbert reputation hereabouts—and, in the lingo of tent show fans, that “nuff ced.” It would take a three-year run of bad shows to erase the high opinion in Shelby of the Tolbert troupe, but instead of doing anything like thet the show continues to be one of the best tent exhibitions ever to ap pear here. Three years ago The Star thought the Tolbert show un usual enough to deserve a real news “write-up” and not a press reader. That write-up is still used as pub licity matter for the show and it still expresses our opinion. Sauce For Goose, Sauce For Gander (Swiped from another paper.) “A dry goods merchant was start ing down town when his wife re minded him of his most important duty during the day. ‘Now dear, be sure to send to the city for that new radio outfit so we can have it for Sunday. You know our old : Victroia is getting so that it is not fit to be heard.’ “Just a few blocks away the mer chant who handles victrolas and fur niture was sitting at the breakfast table with his family. The conver sation drifted around to the near approach of school. ‘And that re minds me, John, said the lady sit ting at the head of the table. ‘1 must be going to the city not later than next week. I must get the school clothes and see about a new fall suit for myself, and while there perhaps I had better see about new lace curtains for the front win dows. “An hour or two later a leadirg grocer stepped into the bank to buy a draft to send a catalog house for a swell bedroom suite. “‘How’s business?’ asked the banker. ‘Oh, not so very good, re plied the grocer, ‘things are dull just now.’ “Before the banket^inished writ ing the draft a dapper young man stepped up and asked how every thing was. The banker seemed glad to see him. He was a representa tive of a big printing establishment in a big town. He and the banker chatted pleasantly a few minutes, after which the young man inquired casually of his friend behind the window if he wanted anything. ‘Well, yes,’ replied the banker, ‘I believe I do. Print us 5,000 drafts, 50,000 checks and a couple thou sand letter heads,’ “The young man thanked his friend cordially and walked out. “That night the local business, men had a meeting at the town hall to discuss the growth of the mail order evil.

EVERYTHING QUIET IN KINGS MOUNTAIN Kings Mt. News. The past two weeks have been unusually quiet ones in police cir rles, according to Chief I. M. Al len. No arrests were made last week-end or the preceding one. which is considered remarkable. “Saturday and Sunday is usual ly our busy days, but last week and the week before were quiet. I am at a loss to account for it,' the chief declared. Miss Margaret Montague of Liberty, Mo., will doubtless in fu ture beware of sheiks bearing gifts, particularly if they are under lawful age. Judge Moore as sessed one cent damages against her and ordered the return of n $200 diamond engagement ring given her by Stanley Cunnigham, aged 18, on the ground that the youth was under age and had no right to give away anything. Jules de Jean of New Orelans was wise and couldn’t be fooled on April 1. He’s even wiser now. When a friend called up to tell amounted to about $13,000. FOR RENT BUILDING KNOWN as Duco Paint shop, N. Washington street. Fireproof. B. T. Falls. 3-20c farmers were guilty of treason to their home merchants when they persisted in buying their g*oo<ls from the mail order houses, and the meeting closed by adopting strong resolutions against trading away from home ,and asked the local newspaper to give it free public ity,” Chief of Police Collin* of Chic ago declares that the club as a weapon for policemen is “« use less relic of bygone days of brick bats and fists.” NOTICE VOTERS!
