This may be stealing some of Dr. Copeland’s thunder, but perhaps he'll overlook It—In Shelby there Is a man, one of the town’s best known citizens, who has not been sick a day in 20 years and in that time has not taken a single dose of medicine. How does he do it? Well, he doesn't know, but he never smokes, never takes a drink, and he gets up each morning at 15.30, win ter and summer, and never eats breakfast. Most folks, we admit, would rath er be sick now and then, yet this man appears to get about as much out of life as any man in Shelby— if not more. SWEET MEMORIES. L. U.

The teachers, marching by the side of the students, wore those long dresses as were long, dresses that served as street sweepers in those days, and their waists were a teeny bit larger than a flve-cent cigar. The young-men-about-town who played in the band were all dolled-up in peg-top trousers, pinch waist coats, derbies and caps.

Marion Mill Troubles; May Bring Taxes Up Marlon, May 15. —The textile disturbances here last summer anil fall have had one financial effect on' McDowell county which will mean that the tax rate for 1330 will most likely have to be increased 10 or 15 cents over that of 1329, which was $1.24 on $1.00 property valuation. Concurrent with the raising of the tax rate will be the creation of a new county fund. The amount of the costs to the county has not been determined exactly, because some of the ex pense incurred by the labor trou bles have been lumped with other s court and legal expense now in cumbent upon the county. The estimated expense for the trials, special deputies, officers’ fees, up keep of certain prisoners in the county jail, and the like, all of which were necessiated by the strike and its after effects, has been $11,000.

That is why we say—and more buyers every day are saying—^‘not just a Six, but a Super-Six.** ESSEX Challenge? Cites Sparkling Performance Essex performance comes from its completely balanced motor and power line. This balance of aluminum pistons, crankshaft, clutch and flywheel, coupled with the Lanchester Balancer gives more power and smoothness at all speeds. Roadability and Safety Longer wheelbase, larger tires and patented spring suspension make Essex the most roaaabic of ears. High speed with safety is possible because of the positive action of four-wheel brakes. Interior appointments carry the same motif as fenders and lamps. Upholstery is of finest quality. There is a graceful three-spoke steering wheel, and the instru ment panel holds starter, electric fuel and oil level gauge as well as motometer. This is the linesL, best performing Essex value ever built. It holds scores of records established dar ing continent-wide Challenger Week. See it and /drive it.
