Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS ft KfcNN DRUM. ’TICK TO YOl'R KNITTING? ••OBS ARE SCARCE—AND HOW! If there are several in the audience who believe themselves to be 0 efficient on the job that the firm and the bass just couldn't get along without them, this, then, is for their ears. hast Sunday night a young Shelby pharmacist was injured in an automobile wreck. It was erroneously reported In the daily new. papers .at he worked for Suttle's drug store Instead of Stephenson's. Believe or not, but within the next day or so Mr. Suttle jvas bombarded with Begrams, telephone calls and letters from all sections of North Carolina. 1 ho wires, calls and letters were from pharmacists—and, oh, yes, you've "ucssed it! They all wanted a job. On the same Sunday night another young Shelby man piloted his •Ulomobile into an immovable object and was taken in custody by the ‘ore? of bluecoats which now wears comfortable blue shirts. Before midnight the telephone at the home of his boss was being worked ovor im" by other men looking for a job. Ever throw a rock in a lake of water and notice how rapidly the ?.t*r closes over and left no trace? Once, while in a tantrum, this apartment walked out of a newspaper shop and firmly expected that le PaP*r would have to suspend publication for a week or two until iey persuaded us back. The paper is still coming out each day and c've never been back-But who’s interested in that story? ' OBACCO, BARN IT' I BOW I LIKE IT! These lines, written by Geraid Johnson, former Tar Heel now on the '■'.utorial staff of the Baltimore Sun, are for the bey.—and girls—among ur hearers who enjoy their smokes; Tobacco is a filthy weed— I like it. It satisfies no norma! need — I like it. It makes you thin, it makes you lean, It takes the hair right off your bean, It's the worst darn stuff I’ve ever seen— I like it.

This eek, then, there came the following letter from Joe Thompson. Frank ibernethy and Lee Connor, a trip of Shelby boys now living in Uncle Herbert’s town: Dear Rounder: “We read your column every’ issue (.Editor’s, note: Thanks so much), 1 end us a little space and we will add a few queries. , - ”1 How many Shelby people are in Washington? “2. How many of these are employed by the Peoples Drug Store, : “ow many by the Coca-Cola company? ”3. If Clyde Hoey had to take off his coat in Shelby because of he heat, what do you think Herb Hoover had to do here? ”4. What Shelby boy spent a night in Hoover's private home for bad boys because he gently tossed a pt. at a cop? "Just to give you an idea of how many Shelby people are here: Mrs. R. E.

Corn Cracker, the veteran teacher and newspaper contributor drop ped tnto this department recently to make several remarks anent the v either, the crops, etc. Incidentally, he paid high tribute to the Casar action of the county. "I will give away to no man," he said, ‘ that there are better farm ers anywhere than at Casar, but those who desire to see some real farming should look over the Casar section. "You know," he continued, "the whiskey-drinkers give Casar a bad name. «ne that the upper Cleveland town does not deserve Every two-by-four vrhlppersnapp< r who goes to the mountain section for his Ukker-comes back anil says he got It at Ca-sar. Maybe he got It somewhere near C'asar, but not at Casar. Yet this habit of designating Casar to cover the whole moonrnltie region grows every year. Those folks up there, as a whole, are unusually good citizens. They'll fight you, yes, when they have reason to. but their word Is as good as then band and they are dependable Find me a section of the county stocked woth better people; and I should know,” he concluded, "be- j cause I taught school thetc when everyone said it was too tough I got along fine with them. So will everyone el'" who eoes at it tn the right manner.” "WHEN WE WERE SWEETHEARTS, MAGGIE! ' Sixteen years ago then was a icgular epidemic of cutting of legs hereabouts. Prof. J. D. Hoggins had his leg amputated at Rutherford ton so did Mote Carpenter, he who reminds us so much of John Silver in "Treasure Island." Back in those days—1915-it was an event when a citizen purchased a new automobile. Such big news was rt that The Star carried the names of the proud motor car owners right smack on the front page.

J Woodson, died It was In 1915, too, that O. E Ford bulb his big brick store oyer by the Seaboard. The rural carriers out of Shelby had their salaries boosted that year from $1,124 to $1,200 Imagine making a hundred bucks per month! In this season of the sam ' year J. R. Moore and son. Jeff, had opened a wholesale poultry and product business tit the Ellis building, and Alderman T ,W< Hamrick was serving a? lord mayor of Shelby while Col. J. T.
