The gang of fellow*, who were ‘‘that no 'count bunch of boys’’ about j Shelby 25 years ago, seems to have started something when they suggested ! holding a reunion of the gang here on fair week this fall. References to the old scenes and the old days stirred fond memories in many breasts, and from cast, north, west and south comes word that j former Shelby and Cleveland county citizen* will join In with the boys of other days and make It a real home-coming event. Dr. J. S. Dorton has already stepped up with an announcement of prises for former citizens who return. The big kick of the proposed home-coming week, however, will be the pleasures of once more visiting boyhood and girlhood scenes and mingling once again with friends of younger days. From the early Interest already shown, this colyum is lead to be lieve that Shelby streets will be packed on the first of October with scores ol native sons and daughters, wandering here and there recalling when such and such a house stood on this spot and when so-and-so lived on that one. There'll be trips to the favorite swimming holes of other days, visits back to the old farm, and many yarns spun about events that, are now Just a delightful bit of history. Former Shelbyltes, now living elsewhere, may as well begin planning to come back then It will be too much to miss seeing Shelby of yester year and Shelby of today all drawn together again. While the subject Is up, this comer would assure the old "dirty dozen' group tlrat Chapel s Bend Is still Chapel's Bend. If a single one of the boys of other days, when they come back the last of September, can swim up through the rocks at the old Broad river swimming hole, the drinks will be on this corner. Harry and Charlie Woodson, Buck Hardin and this colyum tried It last week. Not one In the group could make more than half the dis tance up the swift current of water where Shelby boys for 40 years test ed out theli- swimming prowess. And up on the steep hillside above, leading to the railroad track, are Initials of bygone and forgotten lose affairs. Here* a boy's Initial carved In a heart with those of a girl. Dates ranging from 1000 on until two years ago can be seen there. What memories they will stir—memories of days when Susie was Bob'* girl and Bob was Susie's fellow. (Substi tute your own names). "ARIZONA LIGHTNING" DIED GOING BACK. Sad news, this! A letter from C. O. Greene, who gives us a swelled reeling by claiming to be a regular reader of this corner, informs that "Arizona Lightning,'* the horned toad sent the colyum some time ago by Ramblin’ Bill, was found dead near the home of F. E. Greene, R. F. D carrier, seven or eight miles from Shelby. Apparently the homed hopper tired overnight of Carolina climate and started back for the blistering sands of his Arizona desert. The toad was found on the Seaboard tracks but was not bruised and evidently had died a natural death because he could not become acclimated. (Mr. Green contends that the water and chtcken hash this colyum tried to feed him killed the toad). Our idea is that he tried to get back home too quick and had heart failure while traveling along the Seaboard tracks west. If Ramblin' Bill, or his offspring, will send another, well dig him a bo* of sand and slay flies for him all summer. nance* are not as targe as they once were in Shelby, and. as Chic 'tale says, well tell you why: Those of the older set. as they grow older, find It hard to "make a light of It" any more, and these ultra modem youngsters never believe m starting to a dance until li o'clock or later. And, there you are I Shelby Shorts: “Wonder,’' wonders L. E.

IT WAS NOTHING BUT A GOAT What an ordeal it is. but it must be carried out. For generation after generation In this county peopled by sturdy farm folk it has been a by-word that “when you see it in The Star, it is so." Occasionally, as is the way with mere mortals, even those who con tribute their bit to getting out a newspaper, errors slip In. Last week such a thing happened. Remember the boxed story about the deer that galloped (do deers gallop, or just gracefully lope along?) through South Shelby last week? Well, (how mortified we are!) it want a deer. Ho really it wasn't. It was nothing but a goat, a brown goat at that. The information coms6 from P. W. G , he who brought the goat to town, and he should know. For the stumble, a thousand apologise.

OLD KINO COTTON I am glad to ice the women “tak ing to cotton" here of late. The de velopment of the south depends on the use of cotton goods. Now. Just yesterday, Mrs. Brown came down town with a cotton string tied around her little finger to remind her that she should take a loaf of bread home with her. Up till very recently she used silk ex clusively for this purpose. Mies Iva rigger of the Plalnview neighborhood told my cusin Wlliet Hurt that she uses cotton thread al together now In basting her knickers preparatory to sewing them up with floes, a do not know this to be a fact, as I never saw Ira step tnto a rord ) Then there’s Reddy Jaswr of Leg go centra: she cut her finger a few days ago while helping her mother open a box of sardines for supper, DR. A. PITT BEAM DENTIST — PHONE 188 — Especial Attention To Pyorrhea. Grit Wins for Him Joe McClusky, of Fordham Uni versity, New York, is shown win ning the tWo-mile race at the In tercollegiate A. A. A. A. meet, recently held in Philadelphia, after one of the greatest displays of grit ever seen on the cinder track. In the dash around the first turn Mc Clusky was spilled. He arose, bruised, cut ana in last place. But he kept going and whipped the leader in the final lap, to win in 9 minutes 26 and 6-10 seconds. Atta boy! and sh^ tied the disfigured digit up with a cotton rag. (Heretofore, she has used only pure embossed linen for this purpose). While Miss “Nano" Kidd was bending over looking at a silk dress in a show window I observed that she had darned her hose with Flap pers Darning Cotton but as the rip had occurred considerablely above he knees, the cotton feature did not show except on sight-seeing occa sions. (I think nearly all of the younger set are trying to help the pooor cotton farmer out as much as possible). X have also understood (from cn unmarried gentleman’s source) that the draw-string the women use in keeping their armless BVD8 on is made of twisted cotton cord. This 13 a very recent innovation, and takes the place of silk straps whitch form erly passed over the shoulders and then downward toward the hips. Miss Shera Lyre of the Peekaboo community says that she sent her last wedding present through the mails tied with a cotton string In stead of a silk ribbon. If all contri butors to impending newly-weds would resort to cotton for tying *he presents extracted from them, at least 2 bales of the fleecy staple would be consumed for that purpose In the course of 15 or 20 years. (Ev ery little bit helps—as the old wo man said when Brother Brown gave her a penny for the missionary so ciety). And furthermore, there’s the bath ing beauties. 1 am told that they stuff cotton in their ears when they dive ansoforth. So, as I see It, pros perity has hove in sight. DR. S. F.
