Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM ; ci ARI,,J A ( 0Pf’I>K OF FELLOWS VISITING m Shelby this week who lived here when the height of ac tivity in the present court, square business section was four or more cows grazing on the court square at the same time I he two visitors are Jule B. Fortune, Shell,v postmaster ^decades hack, and Itast.us Ponder, who hadn't seen the )tu burg in ."0 vears. ----- Thirty years ago Mr Pond:.'.-, brother of Hcrschel Ponder and now a freight official at Savannah, Ga, was “bound-boy’ to Robert Ryburn, father of R. L. Ryburn, dean of Shelby lawyers, who operated the Shelby Inn. which stood on the Warren-Washington street corner where the Royster building Is now located. The Ponder boys were or phans then and ’‘bound-out." Mr. Ponder looking about this week is surprised at what he sees and resi dents of modern Shelby, who can hardly remember what the town looked like when nearly all the lots now coveted with big business buildings were vacant, are enjoylnj themselves listening to his descrip tion of the Shelby he remembers. “After I got the other work dor.e about the hotel, it was my Job to take the Ryburn cows and graze them, either on the court square or on vacant fields where your larg est business buildings are now. Wo had no idea then, the other boys and myself, that Shelby would ever be this big. In fact, we didn’t know then that there were any cities as large as this place is now," he says. * * • Mr. Fortune, who now lives in Chicago, is here on his second trip ip three decades, and he is having a big time walking about town talk ing to the little boys and girls who Used to visit the postoffice for their parents' mail back in the old days— except that those little boys and girls now are grown men and wora on. The Chicago visitor is now tinning out that wheo you make friends with a child you are making friends for life. Some of the boys who once came to the postoffice, reached up Ho the window ledge, pulled them selves up and asked for "papa's mall” are now leading business men in Shelby. Mr. Fortune knew all the ■ tots in those days, whose children ■they were, and It became quite a treat to the youngsters to be per mitted to "go to the postoffice." "Remember when I used to come to the postoffice for our mail,” eld erly business men are saying to him this week as they meet him on the street—and the minds of both hark back to the happy days when the elderly business men were go-lucky, barefoot boys in a country town, and Mr. Fortune was a county-seat post master who knew every boy and his dad roundabout. And here’s one you likely did not knoF- unless you are up in years: Mr. Fortune says the postofflce was located where The Star office Is now, and he lived In a residence on the site of the present fire depart ment. Wonder what a 50-foot lot on one of the main business streets would have cost In those days? THERE ARE TIMES WHEN this humble department has a strong desire for changes in things of national importance. For weeks now we’ve been seeing pictures of Mrs. Llndy (Ann Morrow Lind bergh), and If there isn't a photo grapher who can make that wife of Llndy’s show up better In the news papers, then the photographers of UUi country must be a sorroy lot, or else—. Something ought to be done about It ... . The announcement that John Coolidgc will soon wed Florence Trumbull causes us (o wonder if his father, Calvin, was not more of a talkative person prior to his marriage. That's a risky ques tion. seeing as how the ex-president, also married a school teacher .... Another thing: It doesn't seem to us as If there Is any more sense to these air derbies than to the bunion derbies Cash-and-Carry Pyle stag ed across America, and it wasn't long until old Cash-and-Carry. who, by the way turned Red Orange into a professional and ob livion, learned that there was neith er sense nor cents to such affairs .Jumping back up to the talk about Mrs. Lindy—Ruth Elder's photographers, if you'll take a peep, know their birdies. THE COURT ROOM WREAKS many changes in life and in the mode of living. Judge Horace Ken nedy. of the county court., can tes tify that at times and In certain re spects the court room even changes life's routine for the Judge. Judge Kennedy once was a ciga rette smoker: now he has Joined the pipe-puffing group. The county Judge did not give up cigarettes because of any evil at tached thereto, because Judges now adays seldom preach about the Cigarette evil as they once did. The congregation has grown too big for it. In days gone by Recorder Ken nedy smoked cigarettes much like any other cigarette smoker, one every 15 or 20 minutes. Then he started holding court and some of those county court sessions, espec ially the "Monday alter” docket, last through three or frur hours with out a halt. It would be a blow at the dignity of the court for the judgu to fire up a cigarette, and he could not stop the court grind for a smoke, so lie Just fidgeted. Perhaps in the first month or so he he'd court the spectators were of the mind that he had become a regu lar Judge as they watched him pace back and forth on his little stage as the court ground out cases. But recorder Kennedy wasn’t in deep thought as he paced back and forth; he was Just hankering for a ciga rette. Finally he discovered, so he will tell you in confidence, that a pipe smoke will last longer than a cigarette—that Is, the craving does not come back so quickly after hav ing a pipe as it does after a ciga rette. Now his routine is to load his pipe and have a good smoke Jubt., before court opens, and that, he says, "does” him until the court is ever and he can get hold of the pipe npain. In other words, reach for a pipe instead of a cigarette is the county court motto. Some of the barristers and other court officials here, y’know, satisfy their tobacco craving during court hours other than by smoking. Poplar Springs News Of Personal Mention Showers Help Crops.
