BLANTON - WRIGHT CLOTHING COMPANY PRICED AT:— $18.50 t0 $35.00 Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM ■» Insofar as one colored man is concerned a question is a question to be answered truthfully even if it is asked in the court room. And this is a story of * Judge Harding, who usually knows how to get clear-cut replies from the wit ness stand, being stumped for once. A colored man was the defend ant in superior court this week in a case wherein he was charged with stealing several articles from the home of another man, the thefts including a shot gun. The prosecut ing witness, or the old colored man from whom the gun was stolen, was on the stand. The solicitor was at tempting to bring out the value of the stolen article to determine the degree of the crime. “What was the shot gun worth/ ’ he asked. "Tell you, boss, Ah just do an know ’zackly,” the witness answer ed. “Was it worth $20?” came ine next, query. “Well, Ah doan reckon hit were.’ "Was it worth $15?” persisted the solicitor. ’ -jjjg "Ah just couldn't say, sah." “Maybe It was not worth more j than $5?” said the solicitor. "Oh, yes, hit were." Judge Harding, tiring of the time taken up with no definite answer, twirled his chair about and faced the witness. "What would you take for that gun?” he snapped “Jedge, sah, lffen yo doan mind Ah'd ruther not sell mah gun.” Whereupon the court gave it up, I placed its own estimate on the gun, and moved the case on. A Noil-Talkie Record. ‘ Some females have just o vn arrested in Kentucky,” said the Ra leigh News in a misguided moment in November 1879. "for the manu facture of illicit whiskey.

Big Kick To Others. "Short Dresses Big Aid To Hos iery Men.”—Greensboro News head line-, SHELBY SHAVINGS: Enthus iastic A1 Smith men in Shelby have since Tuesday been getting a big kick out of the fact that Virginia staged an election—and how. And that recalls that in a dozen or more tocal business houses and offices Smith posters still may be seen . . A legal method of wilting a man's name is to give the last name first, for example: “Jones, John,” ar.d a lawyer must have had something to do with getting out Shelby's last telephone director for a well known mercantile firm is listed in the di rectory as "Ward. Montgomery” . . The yo-yo craze has subsided until it is almost out of the straight jacket Stage . . A Shelby man asks that the copyright on Robert Quil’ len's Aunt Het be violated so that the following observation by the wise old lady may be reproduced; "I aint been a perfect wife but I never fed Pa on olive sandwiches because I was too busy playin' bridge to do any cookin' ’’. "You are missing something un'ess you take advantage of this sale,” read an ‘ad’ in Wednesday's Star, and some of us missed only the "t" . . . . Mayor McMurry is sel dom seen without a lapel flower and would give Jimmy Walker of the big burg a close race for be<ng America's best-dressed mayor .... The publicity men who wrote the placards for Shelby's Boy Scout drive were, at least, up-to-the-min ute with that query "A Boy Scout or a Communist?” .... Why docsn t Shelby have some arrangement, either at the telephone office or the city hall, whereby a citizen up town at work may call and find out if it is his domicile ablaze? Harry Thaw was sued for $75,.000 for biting a night club hostess. Considering the price of a night club sandwich, that looks pretty cheap. A Brooklyn bigamist whose sal ary was $25 a week was convi :ted. These malefactors of great wealth have to be curbed some way. Men who earn $25,000 a year are usually good dressers, says the National Association of Merchant Tailors. Wonder what they do with the other $1,000.
