Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. IT’S AN ANNUAL SUMMER ARGUMENT: Seashore or mountains? About Shelby however, many people seem to have compromised on noth. Which is to say that several scores of Shelby people are getting their vacation swimming, fishing and mountain scenery all In one lump—at Bridgewater, Just how popular the Lake James playground and power Incubator has become with Shelby people cannot be realised without a trip to tho big expanse of water upon which Table Rock mountain casts its shadows. A number of Shelby people have neat cottages scattered among the hillside groves overlooking the big lake, and moored In the various coves are several motor boats which belong to Shelby people. Just now, to use a popular phrase, fishing isn't so hot at Lake James, due to the fact that the water, Is Unusually low. As It la, however, week-end parties generally man age to snag enough catfish, perch and a few bass for their meals. The latest Shelby motor boat to go on the water there Is an 1800-pound af fair, which derives Its power from an eight-cylinder Marmon motor. Xt is one of the largest boats on the lake, the property of W. H. Blan ton, jr., and rides the choppy sur face as smoothly as one of the big Steamers rolling along the Atlantic. To get an idea of Bridgewater's t»pularlty, watch the Fallston hlgh Way stream of cars, heading west, tm Friday and Saturday afternoons Curing the summer. ! A STORY IS told about Shelby a young married woman of the ttty who recently had the famous Natural Bridge of Virginia for her Supper. She had been with her hus band, a well known young profes sional man of the city, on a vaca tion trip to New York. While there they had been places and seen things. And going places and see ing things costs quite a bit along, Broadway's whoopee lane. Return ing down Shenandoah valley they passed near the freak bridge. The young lady wanted to see It; her husband didn’t. The wife Insisted. He Informed her that it was either tee the bride or get supper. It costs a dollar to rubberneck at the bridge. He handed her the dollar, she took tn the bridge, returned where he was waiting, and they were on the way. When the supper hour arrived and mention was made of it, the husband pulled 18 cents from his pocket. Prior to spending a foliar to see the bridge he had $1.18. It's a true story, but as yet she hasn't told him that the Natural Bridge proved a disappointment. Here's hoping he doesn’t read this colyum. WHAT IS THE proper spelling of the name gf the colored residential section In northeast Shelby—Freed man, Freedom, Freedmon? Among the whites the pronuncia tion, or word, most used Is Freed man, but, If you've noticed, the colored folks, nearly always say Freedom. The name, no doubt, Is derived from some connection with emancipation of the colored race, but who named the section, and what was the original name? THE NEW YORK TIMES col umnist must have read about HO people being killed In auto acci dents In North Carolina in May. Anyway, here's how he filled a couple inches of space: Stranger, pause and* shed a tear For one who leaves no mourners, D. F. Sapp reposes here He would cut corrifcrs. Here lie G. Whilllken’s friends, all five. He took them along when he learn ed to drive. Hie Jacet what little remains Of Aleck McFree. He let her rip and raced with trains R. I. P, Under this mound is Ooofus Green. His chemistry few extol. He filled his tank with gasoline. Himself with alcohol. OYCLONE MACK, erstwhile evan Relist, is to speak in Shelby on July 3, Thursday week, and those who haven’t heard any new words in some time should not pass up the opportunity. Cyclone has a knack of creating and using new words, from a foot to a yard In length, that would make old Noah Webster do the barrel-roll under his tombstone If he heard them. THEX THERE'S that Joke on some of the young ladles In a sopn Lstlcatcd bridge club among the young married set of the town. They decided that there should be some new method of awarding prizes. Finally they hit upon the Idea that all the scores should be kept for a month, at the end of which Jime the men should enteretain at a din ner party, If theliv scores totalled lesrf than the combined scores of the women, or vice versa, should the men make higher scores than the women. It was a hotsy-totsy plan until one of them happened to think that the score for the men aod the score for the women would be exactly the same as the tables are paired off with the men and women playing partners. In other words, every time one of the wom en made a certain score some man In the club must of necessity have made the same score. THIS IS the season of the year when the Ice man can thumb n's nose at the coal dealer, provided he doesn’t have to thumb his nose at himself because he sells both nec essities. IF THE MINIATURE golf course proprietors will not take offense, we have an idea which may develop into a fortune. The old-timers, it seems, do not take to golf, on the man-sized courses or the miniature. Any game or fad these days must be made a bit hoity-toity, so it is our idea that old-fashioned barn yard golf, would go over big if properly handled. A vacant lbt u? town, gaily colored shoes, electric lights for night play, score cards, and other paraphernalia. Now if some one will finance the idea, we’re willing to go in it fifty-fifty, and believe the ringers will attract more than the hole-outs. Card of Thanks. We desire to take this opportun ity of expressing our heartfelt appro elation for the many kind acts and the sympathy extended us during the illness and death of our belov ed wife and mother, Mrs. Hester Jones. It is our sincere hope that life will reward you, and some day may we have the privilege of show ing our^friendshlp in return. C. P. Jones and Family. Relief In Color.
