Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM A PERSONA!. LETTER from Ramblin’ Rill, now in Phoenix, Ari*., says, among other things, "The Star surely must have a world of subscrib ers as 1 get letters from every where every time an artlele from my pen appears In The Star." Bill, mebbe h Isn’t the sub scribers but the topics you write most about: Women, whiskey, and ‘possum dinners? sii-ti-nn: November The month of November was ready to be torn from the calendar when Attorney “Zee" Newton passed this one along: The wanton hills Lie naked to the breere, The fields are nude, The groves unfrocked: Bare are the shivering Umbs of shameless trees. No wonder the corn Is shocked. —Noah Count. tPYom the National Reader, pub lished In 1836.) With the football season slipping away far hibernation period and with boesbaU several free*e-upu around th« corner, tho favorite topic about Shelby lounging centers is that which has bobbed up. much like a bad penny, every now and then for the last year—what will or will not. be done to Senator Sim mons the next time the party nidge Palls calls "the unterrlfted Demo cracy" marches to the ballot box. Both sides of the discussion agree that, there'll be a funeral, but they fail to agree on the corpse to be laid out. SHELBY SHORTS A year ago this week a phono graph f'acord entitled 'The Sliolby Disaster” waa selling rapidly at the Pendleton music store ... and a year ago this mwnlng county of ficers, then known as the “new county officials.” were taking the oath of office at the court house— Just a year ago and already there] is much palaver about tho next primary . .. "I'm strong for this fellow Dick Byrd,” said a Shelby min Saturday as he read about the daring Virginian being the first man to fly across both poles of the earth. “He's done about 20 times as much by and for aviation as has Lindbergh, yet Undy had one blp, break, married a million bucks and Is getting 10 times as much glory.” And no wrathy person took a crack at the speaker as would have Deen the case had anyone dared say such things about Undy a year or two ago. Another person sitting naarby declared that Byrd and Undbergh made him think of football. “Byrd,” he said, "Is and has been playing a great game tn the line, but Undy is in the- backfteld and streaked off to a long run” .... And there are still safne Shelby merchants who write it*"Xma»” in their ads. Something wrong here! A headline in The Star says "Women Wo Eighty Percent of the Buying,” yet there Is an old saw about it being the woman who pays and pays. NOT MOTHER GOOSE RHYMES • Some of the fellows protested about the last Wall Street rhymes published In this department. Per haps they'll like these, written by John T.
