But try to make us think, tf you i dare, that tn Shelby the month ot May isn't “the month ot mayors.' ....... The city traffic h. .lit- haven't been working for a day nr so. bat if all these prosper1 ive candidates for mayor take a notion to -make a dash for the city hall Job nf tin same time, we would advise Mayor Dorsey to get the lights working so that not more'n a half dozen would be trampled to death in the rush. THIS COURT OF INQUIRY sitting here today to extract infor mation about extracts reminds a friend of the colyum that in the old days when a fellow got all wet lie generally remarked: "I'm drunk dressed up, and Hirin' to go.' When they get their kick from extracts the friend says the expression should be changed to: "I'm all flavored up, smell like a birthday cake, and rarin' to go." COL. WILEY PERSON’S BILL, which by this time is morc'n likely a dead wlllyum. to have prescrip tion liquor in North Carolina drug stores caused any number of the newspaper boys to bring back this little ditty: Hush, little drug store, Don't you cry— You’ll be a barroom ■ Bye-and-Bye!

AND TO GET BACK TO THAT call-down from Mr. Ashcraft whom we called down because he though' Cleveland farmers might go broke —after noticing some of the fine automobiles Cleveland county farm ers drive into Shelby we’re inclined to believe that when, if ever, they do go to the poor house they'll motor out in fine style. TODAYS PAPER SAYS THAT eight or nine more couples froth hereabouts got hitched in Gaffney last week. Nowadays when a Cleve land county or Shelby boy goes to ask her dad if he can have Sallie we suppose he says to the old man: "Say, what about Sallie ridin' dow n to Gaffney with me tonight? ' And, of course, the old man, if he's wise to the modern world, knows what, it means when a fellow takes his sheba on a ride to Gaff ney. To some of ’em it might mean two to feed instead of just Sallie.
