It has been some time since we brought the cclyum’s weather chart data up to date. Somebody borrow ed our Blum's almanac. But here's a tip: It will not snow again this winter, or maybe Just once more. According to the old-timers there are as many snows In a winter as there are fogs In the preceding Au gust Didn’t you know that? Well, there were four fogs last August. If you count the first little flurry of snow we had a snow, then there have been four snows and will be no more. If you don't rate that as a snow, look for another one. Now that we’ve got the weather' all adjusted, hadn’t It been fun reading about Clara Bow's court case, and the introduction of all those love letters in which the exo tic red head was called "baby," "darling." etc? A lot of men, as Kipling would j say it, seem to have learned about women from her. Such a topic, we admit, has no J connection with Shelby except that when a film in which Clara struts her charms comes to town the movie house is packed with young men, married men, dilapidated bachelors and what feminine friends they can take with them. One class of state workers —those aiifc to the state prison—will not iave much to say, we presume, about Governor Max’s proposed sal ary slash of 10 percent. Just some town talk you may or may not be Interested in: Jack Palmer, talking at the Kl wanis club at a 1931 business pep meeting: “I think things are pick ing up and we will all get along better this year. But if everybody lives and does well, it'll be Just too bad for «e.” You see. Jack is an undertaker. • • • • Max Washburn, hardware mer chant: “One cheering prospect Is that fish hooks will be cheaper this summer.” Good news that Is. Max; It ap pears now as If many people will have some leisure time for catching them —— this—■- - long. Anonymous citizen: “I see in The Star Some talk about re-routing highway 20 through the city. It never has been routed as it should be in my opinion. and the new route isn't the one I’m speaking of. What was the idea in branching the highway off on Warren street as it enters Shelby from the east? Why wasn’t it routed straight up Mar ion street, straight on out to Lov er’s lane, and to the river bridge? If that isn’t the straightest and best route, there isn’t any.” • * • • Carl Webb, the peer of insurance salesmen talking to a prospective salesman . "They say I-m a natural bom insurance man. That's bunk I Just go out after It arid stay out. There are those who remain by the fireside on rainy days and bad vfeather days, but I keep going.” (Perhaps Carl would like to know where we picked that up. Anyhow, we know this about him: if he talks in his sleep, he talks Insurance.) This from the esteemed Charlotte Observer: "In the matter of developing poli ticians for public service. Spartan burg seems to hold place for South Carolina similar to that attributed to Shelby for North Carolina. That particular Palmetto center this year provides the state with a governor, a United States senator, chairman of the state highway commission, and chairman of the tax commis sion, and probably more returns are to come in.” Well, one tiring about It. Colo nel : If Spartanburg does as well by South Carolina as Shelby has (and may continue to do) by Tarheelia, then watch South Carolina step. (That paragraph ought to get us a letter of commendation from the Chamber of Commerce, If the or ganization were not defunct.) Some Christmas ere long Shelby may be able to organise an interna tional club of native sons. There’s “Ikey” Griffin in Turkey, Grady Burgess In Mexico, Henry Kendall in China, and Johnny Mcknight In Cuba. Not to mention several other natives who became world travellers until the law at home could forget certain little instances. They're not listed because their addresses, for well founded reasons, are not gen erally known. Shelby Shorts: Local barbers are shaving prices and cutting haircuts .... Things are looking up for this tangle o’type. When good times come around that comer where they’re suposed to be hiding we might even ask for a raise. Among our regular readers we learn are three or four intelectual girl stud ents at Davenport colleeg and Mrs. E. H. W.. one of those charming Shelby girls whoj married an out- j of-town boy and’adopted his town along with him .... (This one ought to start ’em guessing again): Three or four of the town's best known citizens have been tee-total lers all year .... Another one stretched it so far as to quit smok ing cigarettes .... Another proof that Shelby is just a good-natured hometown burg: A manicurist has never been able to succeed in busi ness here. Too many wives might want to know why their husbands too such a sudden interest in their nails. Those of you who think—and know—this colyum isn’t so hot at times might trying helping out by sending in tips on freak names, signs, incidents, and events about town. Mow'd you think McIntyre and Ripley got where they are with out aid from their public? Shoot along something to equal that one about Matt O'Shields living between Friday and Mundy, and whattacohn this might eventually be. American Army Gets Together (By W. E. White, County Historian) On Monday the 35th of September 1780 hundreds of patriots assem bled at Sycamore Shoals In what Is now Tennessee Some 400 Virginia troops came under Colonel Campbell Colonel John Sevier arrived with 240 gallant men, Colonel Isaac She. by also brought 240 heroic soldiers and Colonel Charles McDowell was there with his 160 North Caro linians. These sturdy mountain men had but one object In view—-they were determined to find and defeat Colonel Patrick Ferguson. But why were these frontiersmen so eager to fight the British com mander? In the first place, he had North Carolina. In the next place, he had rallied the Tories and num bers of the loyalists had joined the army of the enemy. And, finally, he had made a threat which aroused the patriotic backwoodsmen to he roic action. When Colonel Ferguson paroled Samuel Pldlips, a distant relative of Colonel Shelby, he sent a verbal message to the leaders of the Watauga and adjacent settle ments that "If they did not desist from their opposition to Brltlsn arms, he would march his army over the mountains, hang their leaders, and lay their country waste with fire and sword.” Such a warning would have probably had a terrify ing effect upon some people, but It had no. honors for liberty loving meii who had the courage to live in a wild region largely Inhabited by bears, panthers and Indians. So when the day arrived lor the gath ering of the clans, more than a thousand bold patriots assembled at Sycamore Shoals to offer their serv ices for the cruse of freedom. On the morning of September 23, the little army was ready to take up its march over the mountains and through the forest*. However, before this Important mission was begun the blessing of Providence was '*ov erently asked upon those who were to be engaged in the patriotic en terprise. Rev Samuel Doak. the pioneer clergyman of the Watauga settlement was present and invoked the protection of the Heavenly Father upon the brave little army. With a few stirring remarks befit ting the occasion the good mar. bade the Whigs go forth with the "Sword of the Lord and Gideon” The men leaned upon their rifles in an attitude of respectful auc tion and at the close of the inspir ing talk to which they had listen ed they shouted in patriotic fervor: “The sword of the Lord and of our Gideons!” My next article wUl deal with the patriots on the hunt for Ferguson.
