Before I started taking
Black-Draught, three years
ago, my health waa very bad,”
write* Mr*. C. C. Carson, 945
Concord St, Beaumont, Texas.
"I suffered constantly from
i constipation. I had headache
when 1 got up in the morning,
and I felt dun and sluggish. 1
hardly ate a meal that my food
agreed with me. Frequently
I would have gas on my stom
ach. and felt awful.
"Iread about Black-Draught,
and I thought it might help
me. After I had taken it a lit
tle while, I felt much better.
It relieves constipation. I keep
H on hand so when I need a
laxative I will have it In the
three years I have been taking
it I have never found anything
aa good for constipation.”

THE DAYS mentioned above were
the days when everybody in Shelby
strolled down to the station to see
the evening train come in. Days,
yTtnow, when neighbors always di
vided their fresh beef with each
other. Days, too, when oysters,
were seen only at public oyster sup
pers. Great old days, they were.
COME TO th{t>k about it, no one
ever heard of a girl getting out and
walking back home In the old horse
nnd-buggy days. Perhaps the men
were more gallant—or less ardent?
—in those days, or the girls were—j
well, not ao bashful.
And then maybe we hear nothing!
about such Incidents In the past
because the old folks always be
lieved that the youngsters should i
not be told everything. "What chil
dren do not know will not hurt:
them”—y'know.
AS WE watch Deputy Ed Dixon
tear tax receipts out of the big tax
books at the court house these day*
we wonder if his mind isn't on
something similar to that John
Charles McNeill was thinking about
when he wrote the folowlng:
De 'possum up de tree
He sot en look’ at me.
En when I got de moon twixt me
en him,
Says I to him, "So, so.
Oh, I*s cornin’ up. you know
En Is gwine a yank yfiu loose fum
dat ar limb!”
Says T. "Don’t put on airs.
You better say yo’ prayers
De preachers gwine be wid me
Sa’ddy night,
En he’s glad to eat a 'possum
As a gal to git a blossom.
En his mouf is big, en, gosh! his
teef is white!”
FROM A Yorkville Enquirer col
umnist we learn that, on an aban
doned refreshment stand at the
Kings Mountain battleground is a
sign reading like this: “Here on this
spot Colonel Lemonade led the
forces of Hot Dog and Hamburger
to a dreadful and inglorious defeat
before the assault of BO.OOO sight
seers on Oct. 7. 1930."
A good many Shelby people will
be able, in the years to come, to tell |
their grandchildren that they par
ticipated in that battle, and also a
counter attack that night led by
General Indigestion.
THE PORTION of the body most
used is always the strongest and the
largest. So we're wondering why
hitch-hikers will not within a few
years have exceedingly large
thumbs.

now on a strictly cash basis. Will
or will not that mean that some of
the sheiks about town may soon be

THE THING that worries this

there are only a very few more pay

“HOW DO you manage to fill up
that space time and time again?”
queries one of the two or three reg

Well, it is quite a problem, sir;
but questions like yours help out a
lot. Bee, the two of us together have
taken up—and perhaps wasted—al
rtiost two Inches of white paper.

up one of the other readers, "about
what circus day means to country
boys and girls, and how they wake

rode a wagon to town for a circus
day after having a breakfast of
mush and ham gravy.”
Yes, we did. too—right in the
straw on the bottom of the wagon
bed But perhaps it was bacon gravy
and lasses we had with tile mush
instead of ham gravy. So there!
IN CONCLUDING we’ll present
another of Bert Houser's mathemat
ical problems: If a farmer had two
mules, sold one of them for $100 and
last 25 percent of his investment,
sold the other for $100 and made 25
percent on his investment, how did
he come out? Did he break even,
make money, or lose? Figure It out.

Mollie Sad When
Last Kitten Goes
• Elsie McCormick in N. Y. World.)
The last kitten has gone to its
new home, and Mollie. the most in
telligent Maltese on West nth
street, is softly mourning over her
missing brood.
Still, there must be at least 9
glimmer of relief mixed up in her
bruised maternal heart. Eenle, the
last of the tribe to go, was trying in
many respects. She was half white,
for one thing, which meant that she
required twice as much tongue ex
ercise as her gray-toned contem
poraries.
Besides this. Eenic was an in-A
trovert. In order to indulge her
taste for privacy and meditation,
she used to spend hours every day
cloistered behind the volumes on the
lower shelf of the bookcase. Mollie,
who is a social type, was much dis
turbed by this odd behavior.
Being too large to climb In over
the tops of the books, she could only
sit before the case and call plead
ingly to be immured introvert. Some
times she would rout out the kit
ten's favorite spool and knock it
about enticingly, hoping to induce
the infant to leave her yoga medi
tations.
Anyway this habit or Eenie s help
ed me to give Molile an undeserved
literary reputation. Guests were
much impressed by a cat that
could sit for long period* before a
bookcase, softly crooning her opln-!
ion of the various titles.
Mollie. as always, has been very I
suspicious of potential kidnapers.
She faithfully Inspected the inside
of the laundress’ bag during every
call since the arrival of the kittens
Whenever the Iceman came through
the apartment she always trotted
anxiously behind him, he. eyes fix
ed on the tub which he carried on
his shoulders.
So, not having seen Eenie depart
Mollie should come to but one con
clusion. Ail last night she sat before
the bookcase crying for the kitten
that stayed so stubbornly in its
hermitage. Today she begins to fear
the Eenie he* been lost forever in a
dark literary maze.
Hereafter, to her, the bookcase
will be a mysterious bourne from
which no traveler returns. Probably
she will croon requiems over it at
night for many weeks to come. When
the. next brood arrives, she will give
due warnings of this peril and sud
denly box the ears of any little
scamp who tries to explore its dan
gerous recesses.

Jonas Prosperity.
'By J. F. H.)
I can hear' Jonas as he use to sing,
About the farmers wearing diamond
rings.
But since his election they have had
no shoes,
And most of their property they are
about to lose.
A 20,000 item tariff they did write.
They said to help the farmer in his
fight.
But Monazite, Mica, and cotton
three,
Jopas believed should all be free,
Now, plow shftres sell at 20c per
pound.
While a buyer for cotton cannot be
found,
The tariff on shoes we ail must pay.
While Monazite and Mica are cheap
as hay.
They voted a tariff on everything.
Then sent Nye down our necks <o
wring.
Now they say they are sad indeed.
Because the farmer is in need.
*»»
I haven l seen a 10 dollar bill
Since Pa Jonas went over the hill.
He promised prosperity to one and
all,
But he sent starvation the very next
fall.
If you vote Republican again this
time,
You keep the farmer in the starving
line.
Vote the Democratic ticket straight,
And drive starvation from out state.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY COMMISSIONER
ro THE VOTERS OF CLEVELAND COUNTY:—
As a Candidate on the Republican Ticket for County
Commissioner of Cleveland County, I desire to take thi
method through the press to let the voters know in advance
some of the vital ills I propose to help correct if you elect me
to this office:
First. 1 am opposed to the manager form of govern
ment for this county, that is to say, for any one man to tx
the dictator of our county as the present form now exists,
but to restore it back to the commission form where it right
fully belongs.
Second. I will work in favor of the abolishment of thr
Game Warden of this county, that will eliminate the fe*
grabbers from harassing the people, as I feel that seventy
two deputy sheriffs are a sufficient number to look after the
game laws now written on the statutes.
Third. I whole-heartedly favor the abolishment of the
Welfare Officer of Cleveland County, and save this $1700.0' i
that rightfully belongs to the tax payers, and refer cases oi
this nature to the County Board of Commissioners for die;*:
oosition, who will co-operate with Boards of Charity.
Fourth. Also, 1 want to go on record as favoring a
reasonable assessment for farm land and other real estate
in this County as our people feel that our land and other
property was assessed at value while we were passing
through a period of inflation.
Fifth. I am in favor of our Sheriff supervising the
malting up of the tax books and save the tax payers this
$130^-00 per year, as the Sheriff is well paid for his service
as will entail no burden on him.
Sixth. I further pledge to use my influence to abolish
any unnecessary offices that the people have no part in
treating.
Seventh. If I am elected, I will serve the best interest
if all the people and ask your vote and influence regardless
)f political affiliations.
Youra very truly,
R. A. LACKEY
