In describing rite underseut boa! “Nautilus" in “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," Jules Verne visualized a truly wonderful craft With remarkable precision this not ed French nuthoT, yenrs before they became a reality, carried us through the realms of adventure—thrilling and unbelievable. He told of ttie many hardship; overcome by daring adventurers tr his thrilling tales of voyages bj land, sea and air.

Orpha Hill, of Wofford, Ky. "When I was married, it be came a family medicine in my own home, aa it was in my mother's. "I take it for headache and especially for constipa tion. When I get bilious, my skin gets yellow and I have a very bad taste in my month, and a drowsy feeling alt daring the day. My eyes burn ana I get dizzy, or my head is ’swimming.* When I take Black-Draught, it aeema to drive the unpuri tiee out of my aystem and I feel fine.

This daring Australian has made four trips by airplane to the polar regions, each of Which is filled with tales of adventure far surpassing any told in the pages of fiction. "Around the World in 80 Days!” When the versatile pen of Jules Verne prompted by an active brain produced this masterpiece, little did he dream that aided by science man would traverse Mother Earth in far less time. John Henry Means, who, in 1929, set a record of circling the globe in 23 days, undaunted by the mishap at Harbor Grace in the gray dawn of the Fall of 1930, is again forming plans to lower the record of the Graf Zeppelin, which, under the guiding hand of Dr. Hugo Eckener, made the trip around the globe in 21 days.

And that must be hard bn the candidates—nobody can tell the time of day by the old tlck-tocker that no longer tick tocks. Some of the fellows about town who still rate as “the boys” wonder how many remember when street carnivals were held In the street in front ol the present location ot the Cleveland drug store? Or when a high diver put on his thrilling act at the present post office location? Or when a balloon ascended there amt everybody thought the balloonist far more daring than the young generation considered Lindbergh’s feat? j Homebody’s holding oat on this colyum. The national Industrial board says that the per capita wealth of North Carolina is $1,137. Which is to say that every one of us should have that much. Wonder how big a club the colyum could organize of those of us who are wondering who has our part? I This one may bring on a swift kick In the pants or a caustic chiding, but, since we've started looking back into the past and peeping into scenes many have forgotten, it will stir too many memories to be with held: Approximately 31 years ago this week a rising young, lawyer-editor of Shelby, Clyde Roark Hoey, and his bride of Just a few days were buggy riding in the section to the south side of the court square. A piece of paper fluttered, Or something like that, and ol' Dobbin took to his heels thoroughly frightened- At the southeastern side of the square the young groom was hurtled from the buggy and the runaway horse shot on down tire street lickety-split with the bride holding on lor dear life. Over where the First National is now was the town hotel with a front porch. As the runaway reached that point gallant gents jumped rapidly for the bridle of the frightened steed. But too late, a wheel of the buggy struck the porch and the young bride was catapulted from the buggy and painfully injured. In those days a runaway horse or team of horses in the business sec tion caused considerably more excitement than a falling airplane would nowadays. They were events that were talked for weeks thereafter. And treat old days they were, huh? Hold just a minute, please: Alleen Walker, a "hello" girl whose ap pearance matches the voice over the wire, is nominated in the Miss Shelby contest. Shelby Shorts: Some of the entrants are wondering when the winners of the most-beautiful-girl and best-looking man contest will be decided. Well, who’s going to make the decision? Certainly not this corner; it would be far more dangerous than naming the ugliest woman and the mealiest man ... Meantime the list is open for new candidates . , . . . Comes a card from C. C. F., of Fallston, who is at Washington, saying as how times will be getting better soon since he's been up to see Herbert . . . Joan Crawford back at a local theatre. That goil certainly has ways about her . . . . Two good revivals in town . . . Grownups, filled with the spring spirit, tossing a basetnll to and fro along the South Washington street business curb .... One peewce golf course open and a big marble game still going on on the other .... General expression about town of the hope that X J. McMurry, veteran Shelby business man wintering In Florida, soon recovers from his attack of flu. Too many men of his type haven't been made yet.... The sign over Joe Nash’s new store adds to the pep of the LaFayette street business section .... One Shelby banker smokes cigarettes and few of the others smoke at all, ■ ■ ■■ I ThU is to be a war story, a true incident of the World war as it hap pened to two Shelby vets. Back In T8 when the Big Berthas were booming, and men were fighting and dying, an American M. p.; a Shelby boy, was strolling on his beat up in the heart of the action, Just behind the front line. An in fantry column came along. The commanding officer left word that one company was behind and apparently lost, and ordered the military po liceman to hold the company when and if it did come up until an ar tillery column had passed and moved into position. Then the artillery column came long. Shortly thereafter the lost infantry company came into sight. The M P. stepped out to the front truck on which the captain, a big, husky fellow, Was riding. "You'll have to wait until the artillery gets by. you can't break into a column," the M. P. shouted at the captain," “Like h—, I cant;" shot back the infantry captain. "Who are you?” ‘‘I’m an M. P„ and I have orders to hold your company until the ar tillery moves up, and I’m going to.” The big captain fumed and raged but halted his tired outfit Finally the artillery column was gone and as the Infantry dropped into line the captain stormed out at the M. P. Both soon forgot the incident. Things —big things—happened over there too frequently for that to linger long in the memory of either. Months passed and rolled into a year. It was Christmas 1919 and the boys were back home. Two vets, dressed in their civvies again, turn ed a street corner and humped into each other. As they shook hands one paid particular attention to the other’s voice. Back flitted his memory. "Say, you, do you remember an M. P. stopping your company one night at such-and-such a point?” “I sure do, darn him,” replied the former captain. “Re got me cussed out for coming up late. Why, you bloomin’ bozo! It just now comes to me that you were that M P.” And for some time they talked over that eventful evening. Which is showing you again that the world isn’t so very big after all. The M. P. of the story is now one of Shelby’s best known young men. Re sells tailored suits. The captain, a native of the Sharon sec tion, is in the wholesale grocery business at Houston, Texas. That ought to be enough for today. 666 LIQUID jr TABLETS Cure Colds, Headaches, Fevei « 6 6 SALVE CURES BABY’S COLD EXECUTRIX NOTICE* Having this day qualified as executrix ot the estate of F N Gardner, late pi Cleveland county.
