Nobody’s Business QEE McGEE— Imaginary I line**. A few nights Ago, after I had read everything at hand except a few statements on acount, 1 picked up Dr. Blossom's alamanac to see Just wnat k!n l of weather we were going to have the balance of this year. Folks it* funny how anybody can tell all about the weather months and months ahead. Dr. Blossum said It would be somewhat cool and cloudy and thunder-showery and stormy In May. June and July were also going 'to see some more rain, but no frost, or snow. Tire doctor predicted hot weath er for August and also a dry spell of so now and then. He seemed to think It would rain about September 5th. It must be wonderful to be able to diagnose the elements a year be fore they take place. The doctor seemed to know his fBEE! FRKR!

"When I would get consti pated, I’d feel so sleepy, tired and worn-out. "When one feels this way, work is much harder to do, especially farm work. I would have dizzy headaches when 1 could hardly see to work, but after 1 read of Black Draught, 1 began taking it. I did not have the headache any more. "When I have the slug gish, tired feeling, 1 take a few doses of Black Draught, and it seems to carry off the poison and 1 feel just fine.

He said it would oe rather cool in October (Just think of it!), and that wc might poslbly look for some frost in November (Ain't that awful?), and he Intimat ed that it would be cold In December with mebbe some i now. Well, after I had learned all about our future weather, I decided to do a little reading. Dr. Blossum started off on page 3, as follows: “Does your head swim?" “Are you ever dizzy and Is your tongue coated?" "Are you troubled with shortness of breath?” My head had begun to swim and I felt dizzy, so I slipped over to the looking gla:s and my tongue was plumb covertd up with something that looked like butter milk. But 1 read on; “Do you feel a fullness thereof?” I remembered that I al ways did right after collards and soup. And "Do you ever belch?" I do.| “Do you ha vis spots before your eyes?” Yen. 1 have plenty of them! "If you have any of these symptoms, you are almost sure to have high blood-pre sure.” I lelt my pulse, and they were hitting 'em off at about! 07 by my watch. I began to get sick.' I was so weak In a few minutes' I had to stop reading I managed to get Into bed about half undress 'd. I knew I woulddent live till morning. I decided to wait till about mid-night to call in the doctor, but T dosed off to slype and Soon for 'Tot al about Dr. Blossum and his "Herb Juice," I was able to eat breakfast and go to work the next morning. Moral: Don't monkey with almanacs. The Few Things That I Know. 1, X know 2 boys over 18 years f age who do not smoke cigarettes 2. I know 3 men and 3 women and ' preachers who did not compete in he recent Camel cigarette advertis-l ing contest. 3i I know a gentleman who is bver 55 years of age that*never cuss ed an oath in his life. (He was bom dumb nfM had a relapse before he j was old enough to talk.) 4. 1 know a fellow who Insists that he likes long dresses as well ns he admires short dress, and so far ns he is concerned, the style changes do not affect him ope way or another. (He was born blind and still is.) 8. I know a legislator who can not, be influenced by lobbyslts or grafters or favor-seekers. (He's dead.) And I know 3 other legisla tors who are earnestly werkinf for the welfare of their state and coun ty, but they can’t possibly Lw re elected. 6. I know a Hoover-Democrat who still believes 1 In Hoover and swears that Al Smith Is a tool of the pope He also thinks Mu cle Shoals Is a prize fighter and the tariff bill is the name of a soft drink and he swears that the bonus measure was promoted by Henry Ford and the Standard Oil. (He has applied for 6 different postoffices, but is still farming.) 7. I know a member of the “Wear! Cotton Club” (Female member, of course' who positively refuses to wear any garments not made of cot ton except hose, step-outs, top dresses and an occasional handker chief—and it is her earnest desire to make it one hundred percent- I Just as soon as cotton garments! (enumerated above) can be bought j as cheaply as silk ones, provided, of j course, that the cotton ones look like silk. i 8. I know 2 persons who have been in our bread-lines for the past few weeks who do not use tobacco in any form, but 1 don't know any man, woman or child who uses to bacco either for chawing, spitting, snurring or puffing, that has done without his or her normal supply since hard times set in. No matter how scarce meat and bread and clothes are, there’s always plenty money with which to buy gasoline, tobacco, booze and face powder.

While you’re scouring about the county trying to find an older auto mobile driver than the 89-year-old Boiling Springs lad who does his own driving, maybe you can help this colyum pick up an additional bit of in formation : What is the oldest automobile in Shelby or the county still running— and who owns it? Step right up and tip us off. There isn’t anything to publishing a list of ”Q's” without some “A’s.’ Not Ion* since the man who perhaps has distributed more money to the needy and has handled more charity than any other in Shelby lost his pocketbook containing a sizeable little tortune to many folks, the many including hair-brained newspaper columnists. Whoever picked it up, kept it. That's life for you. Maybe somebody got that money who would have received it from the same man had he or she gone about it in the projier manner. Remember when (there we go back On the old line) when a young fellow was considered smart who could tell you the qualities of a “good buggy horse?” Weill these dayS, he has a grandson who is considered equally smart lit he can tell, right oft the bat, "how many miles to the gallon” you get ! with every make of auto. The next thing it will be airplanes, and, lawysnose! what next. Add new Shelby similes: As fond as a Shelby merchant of a rainy Saturday. It can't be said that Sheriff Irvin Allen isn’t a square-shooter. H° may be tali and wiry and possessed of a determination that will send him "crawling” right on you for too much “jaw.” and he may believe that the law is Something to be enforced and observed, but he believes in an even break. Early this week the county commissioners passed along word that the force of deputies might be cut down a bit. In one section, living near each other. Sheriff Allen had two deputies, both good officers and popular. But under the reduction plaii one had to go. Which one? Both being good men and good officers it was hard to decide. Then the sheriff turned Solomon. He wouldn’t make the choice but, instead, would per mit the two officers to do so. He stepped back broke a match in two. "Here,” he said, “pull. The long match keeps a Job, the other doesn’t.” They pulled. To the lucky man he handed his commission: Both men smiled and walked out. A Shelby punster, who still chuckles over Clyde Hoey’s companionate marriage joke, tells one and as usual asks that his name be omitted. Names are mere names, friend, but a good joke means a nice laugh. Here goes: A young couple ws talking over problems confronting them Just after they had decided to be married. “I think,” said he, "that the first thing to take up is whether or not you can cook.” “I differ with you there,” said she. "I think the most important matter to decide first is whether or not you can provide anything to cook" And just there, readers, the first family row started. (P. S. To those Of you married: Y'know how ’ti’is.) •> Shelby Shorts: Tra-la-la! Marlene Dietrich has been back to town, and now all the slender, blonde young things along the rialto are slouch ing along in that slow, langorous, come-hither method .... But tire movies can never do for the girlies what they did for the boys who seek that shiekish, sleekish look a la Stacomh and vaseline . . . And a pic ture this colyum hankers to see Charlie Chaplin in “City Lights.” Char lie's feet made him famous before the movie world realized how famous neat underpinnings from the feet on up could make the feminine stars .Attorney Speight Beam, who once hated ’em, now has a telephone. Which means that despite his bachelorhood, the “hello girls” have his number—and the number, incidentally, is 628. It was another number at first. Ask him.It’s that way nearly every spring. Floating around town are rumors saying as there will be several marriages before watermelons get ripe . . .... The young lady who is directing the presenta tion of the “College Flapper” here is of French descent. Just a glance and no questions asked and you can tell that . . . . . . Speaking of that play the "College Flapper” at Central school Friday and Saturday nights. Loy Thompson, who appears in the leading role, certainly has to do a swell piece of doubling. In some of the scenes he is the college boy foot ball hero, Loy's mustachio, which he has been growing for every so many months, will work all right in that role. But In another scene he plays the part of a fraternity house mother. What of the mustachio then? All we know to do is go see . . . the box-office is welcome, thanks . . . . . A fine looking young bull dog followed several people along the street Monday morning, looking for his master or a new master. A lone some, come-pet-me look in his eyes. A few hours later an automobile relieved him of that yearning for a master and a home. Just a minor tragedy of the day, for, y'see, we think as much of dogs as does Odd Me | Intyre, but not that floozy-woozy type he likes .... And, by the way, j Shelby's coming along. Saw a young Shelby man out taking a stroll recent r wearing a derby and spats, and leading a fine looking dog with I a leash. But it was a bigger hound than that question mark Jiggs has ! to take out now and then when Maggie makes up her mind. That re I minds: ever hear that old gag about starting an argument with your wife? Just look up from the comic page some day and say: “My dear, you know I believe the man who draws Jiggs must be married” . ,..
