Around Our TOWN
Shelby SIDELIGHTS
Ry ItENN DRUM.
Prospects are that the colyum today Isn't going to be anything worth
wilting home about, so it may be well to start off with a pun.
A Shelby lady back from a visit to the city relates It. It may be
original as she claims; and it may not (nothing in this corner Is guaran
teed to be fresh, nor Is It wrapped In cellophane), but we'll tell It any
way:
’two women were seated m a street car discussing their favorite j
opera, and as the conductor advanced to take their fare, one of them, I
handing him her fare remarked: "I sltnply adore Carmen."
Blushing to the roots of his hair, the embarrassed conductor replied,
"Try the motorman, miss, he Is single,"
THEN AND NOW; AND
how different:
Wonder, asks Mrs, O. E., "how many people remember when the
old Methodist church stood on the East Warren and South DeKalb cor
ner and the men sat on one side and the women on the other? Never
did the two sexes sit together.”
Now who can recall something equally as Interesting and unusual In
the old days?
Something you may not know: This county has an up-and-coming
young editor, William Eaker, of Lawndale, who graduated this spring
at Rutherford college, was editor-in-chief of the college paper and his
final edition was one of the best edited college papers we've ever seen.
CONVERSATION NEVER
LAOS IN BARBERSHOPS
The barbershop before it became a bit effeminate was the same
thing: to the male as was a sewing circle to the female-an opportunity
for chatter. (Incidentally, we've never heard of a club name that in
trigued us more than the Tongues and Needles club of Shelby).
But getting back to the barbershops, here are some of the riddles
and wise cracks the boys were throwing at each other in Patton’s ton
sorial parlors recently:
—Sitting on a box car of a train running 100 miles per hour with a
Bun that will shoot a bullet at the speed of a hundred miles per hour
how far will the bullet go?
—Harvey Wray says a straight line is not the shortest distance be
tween two points and he proves It by a fly without wings which can get
from the corner of a square room to the opposite, or diagonal, corner best
by not going in a straight line.
—Two men contract to cut and pile the cornstalks' from two rows of
oorn. Each row has 50 stalks. One man stops work to get a drink of
water and while he is away the other man cuts six stalks from the first
man s roy. The first man comes back and the second man goes for a
drink. While he is away the first man cuts three stalks from the sec
ond man's row. How many stalks did each man cut?
—If the Shelby court square were dynamited and blown up and there
was no one in hearing distance, the explosion would be absoluately
noiseless.
W. S. Fortenberry, Rings Mountain R-2, has two interesting ©Id tax
j rpc*lpts- One Is for 60 cents and the other for 60 cents. He found them
| recently In the papers of his uncle. D. J. McCall. 'The receipts were
| given Mr- McCall's father, grandfather of Mr. Fortenberry, almost 100
j years ago—-1837. They were signed by C. T. Orlgg, deputy sheriff.
IN THE OLD DAYS,
TEACHERS AND BOYS
One signing himself as "Doe" wonders how many people remember
when Mr. Holton was the official punishment infllctor at the Shelby
school. "One lick from him left the seat of .punishment in blistering agony
for two or three hours > . . After the first lick we could never tell how
many he gave us—they came too fast, and too hard. No boy was ever
sent to that room wlthou receiving a warm welcome .... how many
remember Misses Summers, Hardy and Edwins? what about toe his
tory test when everybody in toe room made 98 and the teacher held the
test over again, claiming we had cheated. We hadn't, because I found
the questions in advance and we all copied them. On' toe second test
we made from 20 up. When we talked and did not behave in the school
room, remember what Mbs Summers would always do? Keep us there
all afternoon subtracting 3 from 1,000. I’ve done that time and time
again and so have many others. We could seldom have a 5 o'clock ball
game because there were too many of us in there taking 3 from 1,000.
"Those were some days about toe time of toe rock battle between toe
white boys and colored boys in Elat Rock, and when we went swimming
at Chapel's Bend after toe law said we should not .... Remember
swimming In the 1916 flood . . . and when watermelons sold two for a
nickel and mule tobacco for a dime per plug?"
Sheihy Shorts: • Popsickles'’ are the latest rage at Shelby soda foun
tains. They resemble all-day suckers and are flavored ice concoctions
frown on sticks. They come in all colors—and how they sell! .... The
up-and-coming young ladies have not as yet dared strut about town in
flaring pyjamas, but for several days a couple of dames have been stroll
ing Shelby streets attired in white duck trousers and wiiite shirts. The
trousers did not flare but were rather on the form-fitting plan (that
stanza was written for the information of feminine readers; all the men
have done their own gazing) . . . Dr. Zeno Wall has travelled 300.000
miles in his Zh years in the ministry and not three million as erroneously
stated in The Star. He would have the matter straightened out for fear
that someone would think he had been flying about with Capt. Frank
Hawks, the aviator who zips all over a continent in one day ... A lady
mentioned in the colyum today has a couple daughters who would make
good bids for Miss Shelby honors .... Some of toe fellows who were
boys back In the days before the World war are going out to Chapel's
Bend one of these days and see if they can swim up around “the rock" as
they once did ..... Now that they're home for the summer, maybe some:
of the college boys and girls will contribute a spicy paragraph now and1
then for this tangle o' type. It is apparent that an injection of new :
blood might work wonders with it.

Junior Baseball
Is Given Praise
region's World Series For Boys
Commended By Nationally Known
Figures.
That, the American Legion junior
world series, made • possible through
the cooperation of the American
and national leagues, who have con
tributed $50,000 annually for the fi
nancial support of the legion, sec
tional and junior world series, is a
vital force In making healthy and
responsible citizens of the nation’s
youth, is the opinion of the leaders
in American life, cited by local le
gion athletic officer, Dr. B. M. Jar
rett.
Some of the comments of leaders
whose names are known to the far
corners of the sporting world follow:
Kennesaw M. Landis, commission
er of organized baseball: “It will
arouse great Interest in the national
game among thousands of boys
throughout the country.”
E. S. Barnard, president of the
American league: “In voting unani
mously to stand behind the Ameri
can Legion in the campaign for
great interest in baseball and Ameri
canism In general among the boys
of the nation, I believe that the ma
jor leagues have taken a step that
will meet with the endorsement of
the public.’’
John A. Griffith, athletic commis
sioner of the “Big Ten”: "The na
tion-wide Junior baseball program,
sponsored by the American legion,
the National and American leagues.
Is the most thoroughly unselfish
move in the modern history of Am
erican athletics.'*
V. D. “Curley Grieve, sporting
editor of a Denver, Co,, newspaper:
“The Legion baseball program has
no parallel In the history of this
country. It essentially benefits the
youth when he needs a diverting,
wholesome influence. He learns the
true meaning of sportsmanship,
teamwork and the building up of
self-confidence. Aside from healthy
minds and bodies it develops last
ing friendships of long duration."
John A. Heydler, president of the
National league: "The major leagues
feel that the Legion plan for devel
oping baseball is an excellent means
of perpetuation of the game and of
keeping the nation’s youth out of:
mischief. Not only will this move-i
ment stimulate the interest of the
youth of America in baseball, but it
will also result in substantial in
crease in the number of playgrounds
from coast to coast.’’
The Legion Junior baseball team
played three games during the past
week, rtrst game being with Moor
esboro high school, R. K. Wilson
pitching a no hit no run game, 1-0
in legion’s favor. Second game a
combination between Cliffside high
school and Cliffside mill team, re
citing in 7-2 in favor of Cliffside.
Banks Cashln, pitching for legion in
Saturday’s game, allowing Avondale
only one hit. Scores 3-2 in favor of
Shelby legion.

ness.
Misses Sarah Hamrick and Lois
Adams returned home Friday from

mer vacation.
Mr. and Mrs. Herschell Blanton,

Mr. and Mrs. Baxter Putnam of
Shelby were visitors Sunday after
noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

1. be sure to thin yore cotton
thickly and don't set but 13 eggs
under a hen at one time, as she
cannot kivver a larger crowd onner

soforth.
2. see that all of yore dogs is'
well housed and sprayed with a mix

4. the best time to fish Is mon

8. when not blzzy loafering In

for my money, and he said he didn't

has been mad ever since. He mad*
1 barrel of flour and 1 ham and 1

I took a man's word as his bond
a few weeks ago, but found out a
little later that his bond was sell
ing far below par. He told me if I'd
send him some goods he’d pay me
that same afternoon at 5 o'clock.
He's pouting now because I sent a
collector to see him. He got $4.25
for telling that one little lie. A
friend of mine informed me that
that guy would tell lies all day for
2 cents apiece.
Some folks will dodge you for 5
years rather than pay you 75 cents.
Extending credit to a dead-beat is
a good way to get rid of him. I
have known a man with a family of
10 to pick up and move 45 miles toj
another town rather than try to
pay a small grocery bill, and his
“moving cost*’ was three dollars
more than the debt amounted to
that he was running away from.
But if you want to get u rea.
shyster's dander up, make him pa;
you after he has decided not to di
so. He will never get over It, ani.
furthermore—he will accuse you o.
being a rascal and a scamp and s
thief as long as he lives. Some peo
ple will work for 2 dollars a da;
and go buy 2 dollars worth oi
merchandise a day on credit, ano
then "talk it about” that they make
4 dollars a day, but don’t explain
that they make 2, and take the
other'2 malice aforethought.
The eastiest debt in the world ;c
collect today is the Installments on
a car and it is singular, but true
a fellow never gets mad when he is
"dunned” for an account which is
secured. Where his obligations are
collateral-ized, he calls such a debt
an honest debt, but where he gets
the goods on the confidence plan
that’s another thing.
Therefore, my advice to you is ,.
If you want to keep your friends,
sell ’em for cash. But it is absol
utely all right to sell folks not
counted among your friends on
credit; they will pay you. Prlmlscou.
