The circus came to Shelby today !
and, contrary to recent customs of j

forgotten Just how the steam :»Ho

looked. It was a small circus and
the crowd was nothing to compare
j with circus days and street parade
[ crowds in the old days before ihe
radio and modern entertainments,
but it was a street parade crowd
just the same, with small children
eagerly awaiting the one elepheb'
begging meantime for a red balloon
from the balloon man.
The circus was Barnett Brothers
motorized circus and the street par
ade presentation was creditable for
a show that travels about the covm
j try by motor. But. most of ah,
Cleveland county people tendered
; Barnett Brothers a bouquet because
j they still sense Just what a street

Girls Assume Lead
In Getting Married
Greenville.—The time of the shy,
blushing, bashful bride is about post
as girls are more and more taking
the initial step in promoting mari
tal alliances, according to advices
from the local marriage bureau. It
is no uncommon occurrence for a
woman to come into the office and
secure the marriage license nowa
days, without the presence of the
prospective husband.
This was not true a few years ago.
Usually the man obtained the per
mit to wed, giving required infor
mation about the parties concerned
Seldom did the woman even ac
company the man as he went to the
bureau. And when a couple present
ed themselves for a license and wish
ed to be married by the probate
judge, the girl was not heard from
except when she answered briefly
the questions asked in the cere
mony.
Judge J. P Ballenger, of the bu
reau, tells of numerous instance*
during recent months when the girl
brought her husband-to-be into the
office, made application for the li
cense and gave the details asked in
connection with issuance of the per „
mit by the Judge. In such a case it
was the man who waa not haard
from except when he gave mono
syllabic answers to questions plied
during the ceremony.
Judge of Probate Fannie C. scotr,
points to the custom as a change of
the entire social system, with girts
taking some of the privileges con
ventionally granted during the leap
year. The usurpation of man's place
in various fields by woman Is also
an indication of the change that is
gradually being brought about, she
said.
The frequent reference in the
movies to the modern girl's motto
being that of the Northwest Mount
ed, “Get Your Man,” Is being acted
out in real life by many girls who
bring their “men" Into the bureau
and take the leading part in the
brief ceremony of procuring the
license and marriage.
