Ask Bass if lie remembers when lie collected call tails at the

sale as pure silk bridle "tassels?” I gave him sixty cents for a pair arid
didn't find out the trick until 1 got home. The tassels were full of
cockle-burrs.
Who remembers when Geo. Blanton rude the little brown mule
around town? What.was the mule’s name?
Who remembers when W. B Nix bought the first Tyson-Jones
buggy in Shelby? It was painted a bright yellow. -He drove a big “bay”
horse named “Charlie," With yellow harness to match the buggy. He
and “Miss Hattie.” were “hot stuff” with that lay-out. When the
other boys saw that yellow buggy come careening around the comer
they would turn green with envy.

Attorney P. Cleveland Gardner recently ran upon an issue of the old
Shelby Aurora of November 13, 1890, edited by W. H. Miller, in which he
found a number of Interesting items. Parson L. B. Hayes, of Central
Methodist church, who is quite a shot himself, will, or should, be inter
ested in this one:
“The Rev. Dr, T. H. Pritchard, accompanied by H. T. Hudson, jv.,
young lawyer tthe late Tom Hudson, father Of Hilary, Harry and Jolin
Hudson), and Henry Carroll, was a successful nimvod Tuesday. Near
8helby this trio killed and bagged 76 partridges.1*
In those days, we might add, it was unnecessary to travel a hundred
mites for a bit of shooting.
Shelby attorneys listed in the old issue of the Aurora were: J. W.
Gidney, J. L. Webb, R. McBrayer, R. L. Ryburn, J. A, Anthony and H. T.
Hudson, Jr. 8, S, Daniel was a "surgeon-dentist,’* a graduate of the
University of Maryland, and "extracted teeth without pain."
Does a sweet potato vine bloom?
That's the question members of the science class of the No. 3 town
-Inp school, including any number of good looking young girls and In
telligent-eyed young boys, popped at this oolyum on an inspection tour
of a newspaper plant this week. 'We'-were forced to admit that that was
one of the two or three things this oolyum does not know. Readers might
answer It. Some of the science students said there were sweet potato
olooms; others said ho.
Incidentally, the name of the principal of the No. 3 school, who ac
companied the class, is John W. Davis, the same name as that of a Dem
ocratic candidate for president, several years ago. Now we'll ask the No
:t students a question: Who was the candidate for vice president on the
Democratic* ticket with Davis'? Take a shot at answering without look
ing it up—and let us have your grades
Shflby Shorts: iiow many Shelby couples have been married at New
York’s Little Church Around the Corner? We know near a halt dozen:
. . The grand Jury in si s. an this week didn’t say a word about the
court house clock That's news Alter the Easter parade there
should be a number of new entrants in the Mists Shelby contest . .
Heavy Lybrand hasn't purchased an Austin ear . Street corners:
filled with farmers In town to buy fertilizer. Another cotton crop com
ing along . Why not a few early spring baseball games between
clubs representing Knvants. Rotary, Lions and the Key club? . . . That
headline over the item about Babe Carr, the boxer, being bruised up in
nu auto accident should have read "Carr knocked Cut by car" . It
won’t be long now until the homebrew season will be here: A Budwe. ier
malt-syrup ad is running in The Stai
Ever notice the similarity in the names ol the Shelby building and
loan associations? It's a wonder the postal clerks do not get their mail
tangled up occasionally. One is the Shelby Building and Loan Associa
tion. Another is the Cleveland Building and loan Association, and a
third is the Shelby and Cleveland Building and Loan Association
What became y! that new hosiery mill that was coming to Shelby?
Why hate no candidates announced for the city ..cliuol board?

SOUND ADVICE
by your Fertilizer Dealer
f 4
in a Series appearing in this newspaper
GIVE first thought to nitrogen this year in
ordering fertilizers. It’s nitrogen that
gives your crops healthy growth and healthy
yield. This year, more than ever, on account
of unusual dry weather, nitrogen is most lack*
mg in the soil.
Play safe. Buy plenty of Chilean Nitrate of
Soda. I’ve got a big supply. Cheaper than it
has been for years. New 100-lb. bags, too.
Order now and be sure of your requirements.
CHILEAN NITRATE now comes in new
100-lb. bags that make it more popular
thaj> ever. It always has been the dependable
fertilizer of Southern farmers. Side dress, top
dress with Chilean Nitrate...and increase your
yields, quality and profits.
Be sure you specify “Chilean” when you order
your nitrate. “Chilean” is the one important
point to remember. It is your protection and
your dealer’s too. When you get “Chilean,”
then you’ll get the real, mortey-making fer.
tilizer — the natural nitrate. Remember th«
two kinds — Original Chilean (Crystalline)
and Champion Brand (Granulated) both
natural nitrate.
