Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By KEMM DKUM. .yw tfwy .*av. *»*«*» .-.v. yt .Wi .*«».*. Jjv. W. ■•*•*. w.1 *»* Whoever drew off the new parkin* lines along the curb in Shelby’s uptown business section must have had the idea that the town is chock full of Austins. Getting a car between those lines, particularly with other cars oh each side, is a pertectly good driving test which should be rewarded with a driver's license when successfully accomplished. CHEMUNG MEMORIES! In this “remember when" business it might be well to remember hap pier days. Let’s look back about 11 years and sec what was taking place ui Shelby in 1920 < Cotton, believe it or not, was selling for 40 cents per pound, and real estate agents could not get enough farms to sell. In Shelby houses and lots were being traded like marbles and sold like hot cakes. Irish pota toes were selling lor six dollars per bushel, and only the highest bidder could get any sugar. In those days when local merchants hired enough clerks to wait on the trade there wasn't any room in the store lor cus tomers. It was that year that Night Policeman McBride Poston (now the chief) quit his Job to superintend a construction project at Lowell. Policeman Jim Hester succeeded him. That same year Jim Webb bought the H. B, Quinn property corner of South LaFayette and Graham streets, for $17,000. In March of 1620 somebody tried to organize au Overall club at the court house and only one person attended. Everybody, y’see, was wear ing silk and playing on velvet in those days. (On the mum: Many of us are glad to have just overalls nowadays. That’s how times change.) Hilary Hudson in January. 1920. had just finished playing in "Sin bad” along Broadway. B It wu in 1920 that Ogburn Lutz, manager of the Campbell depart ment store, bought half interest In the firm from R. E. Campbell. Those boys, you remember, started out life together as taonasdta miners. Times were so good then that tii^re wasn’t a vacant house to be found in the city. Let's just knock 11 years off the calendar and go back there and start all over again—whatcher say? In 1920 J. E. Cook, of Mt. Sterling, Ky., came to Shelby and pur chased the steam laundry' from W. A. Douglas. Quit Blanton of Hickory became manager of the local telephone ex change that year succeeding Sam C. Smith. $ Oood old days of yesteryear! And we better slow up here before someone gits the bhies. The May ismir of the Natlire magazine at Ebeltott's ns devoted to telling of the beauty of nature In the two Cardin as. Many scenes well known to local citizens are given. And, ph yen, the photos include one of the governor of the state, Honorable O. Max Gardner. Hats off and heads bowed In silent* for a moment in honor of a regular fellow, Clint Newton; who has gone on. It may be springtime but the sun doesn't seem to shine as bright on the court square now that one of the best all-around citizens Shelby ever had is here no more. Some of the Amos n Andy tans about Shelby are all hot and both ered for fear that sumpin's gona happen to Amoe’ gal, Ruby Taylor. Our only tip is to go ahead and brush your teeth three times daily and nope for the best Here’s a Up. one ot those unappreciated things we re always tossing about with abandon: What becomes of ail the iruit jars the deputies lug into the .court house when they make a raid? Frankly, we do not know. But in one county of the state, we are informed, the half gallon fruit jars, when they're emptied, are turned over to the home demonstration agent who in turn gives them to the demonstration dubs over the couny to be used as containers for fruit and vegetables. Appears to be a good idea, Now it's up to Mrs Wallace Manager Cline, and Sheriff Allen to think over.

In the days before oil was dis covered in Texas, a traveling man stopped for the night at a dry-land ranch near Wink. As he discussed the affairs of the country with his host, he became more and more puzzled as to how the little ranch paid its way. At last he ventured the question: “How in the world do you mni:e .a go of things at all?'' Indicating the hired man, who was sitting at the far end of the supper table, the host replied “You see that feler there? Well, he works for me, and I can’t pay him, In two years he gits the ranch. Then I work for him till I git it back.” I WHICH? ■ 'iiiawg .V-i’W Are You Facing The World Without F ear? Or Are You Trembling In Your Boots? ✓ WE ARE OPENING OUR 93RD SERIES ON SATURDAY, MAY 2ND.
