DOCTOR HUNTS RABBITS
WITH PRIMITIVE WEAPONS
Wichita, Kas —Dr. Milton O
Nyberg hunts jack rabbits with a
bow and arrow.
He claims an arrow will shoot
30 yards almost as accurately as a
gun. His distance record is 370
yards. Frequently he has bagged
Jack rabbits on the run.
In a contest with a group of
Cheyenne Indians, Dr. Nyberg found
he could outshoot them.

"Gee Doctor, I didn’t want

just plain sewing."

Shelby SIDELIGHTS
By UENN I)Kl M
I
Just ns a mutter of record it is recalled that tilts time two years ago
there were six candidates for mayor of Shelby, and six candidates for
the four nldermanlc berths, a.s compared with three announced can
didates and a likely candidate for mayor this year, and five candidates
for tin- city board. : - ■ —-——
It is also recalled that It became
necessary, in a last-minute move,
two years ago to draft several can
didates lor the school board, and
In our opinion Woodrow Wilson
draft methods may be necessary
lor tire school board portion tilts,
year.
Incidentally the six candidates for
mayor lit 19-7 were: T. j. Babing
ton. It. E, Carpe.nter, W. N Dor
sey. Orlando 101am, T. W. Hamrick
and A II Webb That's not how the
count of votes ranked them; it's
just a list in alphabetical order.
Boyd Holloway, the John Bar
rymore of the road shows in
these parts, and often referred
to on the street as Milt Tol
bert because he owns, manages,
and serves as leading man,
handy man, and whut-nnt of
the popular Milt Tolbert show,
gave us a new word In one of
his lines at the Tolbert tent
the other night. The word was
“nowatlmes.” It sounded so use
ful as an expression replacing
the overworked “nowadays"
that we expected lo find it in t
the dictionary, but did not, al
through Webster’s latest Inter
national dors list "now.inlghls”
along with "nowadays."
OH. FOR ANOTHER MAYOR
nlty campaign such n-s Shelby ex
perienced two years ngo with Col.
Hatcher Webb and T. W. Hamrick
issuing hot-from-the press circulars
and W. N. Dorsey taking his stand
on a broom platform in The Star.
The Dorsey broom, since we think
about it, was almost as elfectlve as
was the Hoover sweeper of more
recent date, but so original and
peppy were those circulars of Col.
Hatcher’s that Buck Hardin r.ttll has
a number of them pasted on the
wall in The Star press-room. Great
old days!
ANENT A RECENT SPELLING
contest conducted by this colyum.
The Greensboro News paragrapher,
who Is more of a stickler for the
King's English as It should be than
the Queen herself, or even our first
grammar teacher back in Alexan
der county says:
“If, propose^ Renn Drum, of the
Shelby Star, ^ou have a friend who
thinks himself a good speller, rend
him this sentence and tell him to
spell his head off: 'It is agrceabele
to the unparalleled embarrassment
of an harassed saddler or peddler
serenely sitting upon a cemetery
wall guagling the symmetry of
perfectly peeled potato.' We sup
pose the 'an' before 'harassed' is
put Into make It more lntrlck-it.”
Listen, buddy, we were conducting
a. spelling contest and not a gram
matical contest. When, and If. the
mistake occurs in the spelling our
defense will be that we follow the
modern style ns set down by Will
Rogers. Ring Larder, Odd McIntyre,

A irry interesting program was

Juniors let's be there on hundred

A large crowd of parents and

is nothing new under the sun. There
is. Just the other day we saw a

Fast is, not over six or seven for
eign boms, of all nationalities, have
ever lived in Shelby at the same
time, and the oldest citizen does not
recall a Chinaman remaining here
for a full week Which doesn't
mean, it should be added for the
enllglitment of those always on the
watch for something to harangue
about, that the Kit Klux operates
with such efficiency hereabouts; it's
just that way. The Baltimore Sun

Tennessee Lady Tells About
The Long Use of Thed
ford’s Black-Draught
In Her Family.
Rutledge. Tenn.—"For thirty years
or longer vre have been using Black
Draught In our home as a family
medicine, and have found it to be
very hardy,” says Mrs. John Mc
Ginnis, of near here.
"Since I have been married and
had children of my own, I have
found it to be a fine medicine to
give them for colds and indigestion.
I have three little girls, and when I
see one of them fretful and 'droopy’
In (he morning, I begin treating her
with a course of Black-Draught. It
Is not long until she is lively and
well again. I make a tea of It and
Rive It to the children, as they take
It best that way.
"I take Black-Draught for con
stipation and indigestion. If I wake
up with a bad taste hr my mouth
and feel sluggish and dull. I know
it is time for a dose of Black
Draught.
"We try to keep a box of Black
Draught always in the house and
are seldom without It. My health
Is generally good, but I think It la
a good thing to keep a mild, de
pendable remedy on hand for spells
of constipation.”
