Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. A note to Shelby barbers who are engaged in cutting prices of hair cuts: Up at Fairfield, Minnesota, barbers will cut a farmer's hair for a bushel of oats. No spoofing. You boys might offer to do the trick for Cleveland farmers for two or three pounds of cotton. We bet you'd get takers. Three young Shelby swains, all possessing a sense of humor, fared torth Romeoing one night recently. En route to their destination they picked up a young lady who had never met one of the three men. The others introduced him to her as a deaf mute. And on they rode. The girl was very curious about the nice-looking mute; she frequently asked the others questions about him. He maintained his equilibrium, bis smile, and his silence. Finally they reached the party to which they were going and other girls there knew, and came up to speak to the boy the girl thought a mute. Her remarks about the trick will not be quoted here, but we don't blame her if she keeps bn trying to get even with them until she trips down the aisle, to the strains of "Here Comes the Bride,” with one Or all of them. The boys were J. W., W. A, and L. D. Two Shelby men tmaybe more) have the same initials—H. B. E. "Wish you'd quit referring to people in your eolyum by using their initials," request two feminine readers, “Either give their names or give nothing. You keep us guessing and guessing who they are." Maybe that's the reason we use initials, M. L. M. and A. D. H. Get anybody’s curiosity aroused and you have them going until the curiosity is quenched. B, P.. a young man about town, tells us that he saw at least a dozen girls and women turn the paper upside down to read the upside down lines in this eolyum lately which were labelled for men only. If Ripley hasn't this one copyrighted, well tell it: This week a Reno newspaper came direct to this eolyum with an address which was noth ing more than a picture of a bird (a wren), a drum (uh-huh), and a star i The Cleveland), and Shelby, North Carolina. Those words, friends, in the parentheses were not In the address; we merely use them to help you get the point—as if you needed help when this eolyum an dthe post office could figure It out. The newspaper, we suspect, was forwarded by Pel Bablngton, who is nofv; employed on The Nevada State Journal there. Reno's greatest in dustry, and nearly the only one other than gambling and high life, and they go with the other, is the divorce business. Reno makes her living out of the wealthy who go there to have their matrimonial ties slashed. So it is only shrewd business policy for Reno not to do anything to di minish the city’s greatest Industry. Glancing through The Journal we noticed that the news item about the divorce suits up that day were bur ied under a little one-line head in a far-off corner of an inside page. In the newspapers back east those divorce cases are colorful page one stories; but not in Reno—Reno knows which side of her bread is butter ed, and how. Maybe we're dumb (.Yes, we hear that chorus of "sure;,” from the audience), but why do flag-poles have balls on top of them? EVer notice the one over the Shelby post office? “Why,” writes in an anonymous reader who shouldn’t be noticed be cause he does not sign his name, “write so much about Hoover prosper ity? Why not write some about Gardner-Mull prosperity in North Caro lina.” Then he goes on to say several things indicating that if Max and Odus were a mind to they could, before Saturday, have us all riding in Rolls-Royces and vacationing in either Florida or Havana. Guess, since the bill collectors are giving us the rush also, we’ll have to say something to the two O. M. M.’s about that. Meantime, anony mous friend, you write your friend Herbert and tell him if this is pros perity, then this Webster's dictionary we have made a dickens of a blun der in defining the word. Clara Bow oughtn't to feel so bad about being removed from a big talkie because of her court scandal. If she’ll go ahead and tell in book form the remainder of that private life she and her friend Daisy had not told before the court room was closed to scandal-hunting spectators, she ought to make a big enough fortune to have her hair hennaed twice a day and buy as many presents as she desires for her innumerable boy friends.( Note for Miss Bow only: We’d even be willing to take one of those,$4,000 wrist watches to wear while we're having the diamond-stud ecl case on our watch cleaned at the jewelers.) It may be a sin lor preachers to play checkers. We do not know, hut, if it is—it oughtn't be. Last week, so says our old reliable contem porary, The Yorkville Enquirer, when a Cleveland county checker team played a York team there several ministers played for .the Cleveland Shelby team, but under assumed names. Commenting about it, The Enquirer said: “At the recent checker tournament between Cleveland county, North iMltH To Wait. Son—Aren’t you going to wait up lor father? Mother—What’s the use? I’ve got truch a cold I can hardly speak. FOR 60 DAYS REDUCTIONS FROM 10 c to 15c ON EVERY PAIR OF HALF SOLES AND HEELS. Reductions effective Tomorrow, Saturday, January 17. LANDIS SHOE SHOP Third Door From Western Union West Marion Street, SHELBY, N. C. Carolina, players and York county, South Carolina, devotees of the game the most Interesting phase does not appear In the record, or the box score, because it was carefully camouflaged, "Two of the North Carolina contestants, and good checker players, were on the official score card and other checker association players under aliases. The association executives and all the players knew this, and no questions in which either is Interested were involved, as some times occur with college student baseball players in the summer. "The two men are ministers and were dodging adverse criticism by some ot their flocks, or other church members. It seems that some North Carolina chgrch members are as much opposed to checker playing, at least In tournaments, as to drinking likker, toting pistols or playing pok er. And In the case of this checker tournament In Yorkville, only the standard, prominent denominations are involved, and not some complex or superparticular sect And evidently the ministers see no sin nor harm in playing checkers, so long as they do not offend a brother by eating meat or moving red or white wooden disks toward the king row—-because the brother doesn't know about it. " T have not the least criticism against those two preachers from j North Carolina.' remarked a Yorkville man "who knew the facts hidden in the checker tournament score sheet, ‘but I wouldn't live among some of their parishioners lor a farm. Once more I'm glad I live In the Caro lina that’s south of the line'.’’ And the heading The Enquirer used oVer the comment was “Piety;' Bigotry; Checkers; Camouflage." Guess that doesn't leave anything else for us. to say, so we'll drop in a Ijeriod right here. : Shelby High Cagers Thrown For Loss By Poor Shooting In Books Several Regulars Lose Places Be cause Of Failure In Work. Just as the Shelby high bas ketball quint seemed to be in high gear and going somewhere possibly to a championship— Old Man Study came along and j gave the squad a set-back. Several members of the varsity team have failed recently to make the required marks In their studies and. according to the school's ath jletlc ruling, have been laid off the team by Supt. B. L. Smith and j I Coaches Casey Morris and Tilden' j Falls. j The same thing has bobbed up to bother the girls team, it is said. Big Games Coming* The removal of several players i from the line-up because of schol j astle difficulties proves rather tough on the team Just at this time be cause some of the toughest games of the season come next week. LatUmore Here. LatUiiiore comes down for a re turn game, and when> Lattimore plays in Shelby that means that the tin can is to be packed just as they pack them in the w. k. sardine fac tories. Later in the week Gastonia will play here and Gastonia has been literally horse-tramping some of the best quints in the state. Those having their scholastic difficulties have a chance this week and next, however, to redeem them j selves. Mid-term examinations are ! now on and if the athletes who have j weakened in their books can make i up for their delinquencies in the examinations. then back on the squad they go. In the two games with Forest City early in the week both Shelby teams won despite the fact that neither team started a regular var sity line-up and reserves were used in certain berths. Mature Thought of \ Everything * Nature thought of everything when the human body was made. When the body is about to become 21, nature planned danger signal* to warn us. ITius, if our children grind their teeth when they sleep, or lack appetite, or i suffer from abdominal pains, or itch ) about the nose and fingers, wc should | know that they may have contracted worms. Then, if we are wise, we buy a bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and safely and surely expel the worms. Thus we avoid the danger of very serious I trouble.

The Cleveland Star tells that a jewelry firm there will celebrate its thirty-fifth anniversary this year and In the telling qudtes the head of the concern as saying that not a single week of that entire tlnie had he missed having an advertisement In his local paper. The merchant Jeweler frankly attributes much of his success t o const tent and thoughtful advertising. The fetar adds that only one other store In Shelby Is as old as this jewelry store, Insofar as name and owner, hip is concerned. And this merchant, has run an advertisement in every Issue of The Star for twen-: ty-flve years, starting when the paper was a weekly and keeping pace with the semi-weekly and tri weekly transformation of that pub lication. The bulk of the readers of a lo cal paper keep reading It for many years and there grows up between them and the steady advertiser a bond ol friendship that Is linked by the home paper.
