MOUNTAIN SCENERY IN THE MOONSHINE There Isn't anything to compare with the scenic grandeur of the North Carolina mountains, < Yeah, we ve been places and seen things tr. the last 50-odd years, but, don’t worry, this is to be no poetic effusion about the forest-covered peaks and the shady deels with their wild flow ers and rippling streams.). Governor Gardner's recent speech at Asheville at a banquet boost ing the possibilities, potentialities, and what-have-you of the Great Smoky Mountain Park has brought on a veritable avalanche of praise for that modern Garden of Eden which is to be opened to the scenic loving public as a national park. Xn all the description of the awe-inspiring wonders in the solitude '( the mountain retreats it seems to us as if one thing was overlooked; In those self-same hills, we've heard, they've been known to concoct a 'quid that will make men—and even women—see things that are not to ** seen in the Alps, the Rockies, or right there in the Smoky mountains. But, for that matter, when hasn't moonshine been an integral part of he scenery anywhere? MISS MATTIE WAS STUDENT 4T OLD SEMINARY HERE This department didn't spring anything new on Miss Mattie Adams jeccnrtly when it referred to the days when the old Shelby Seminary (^was operated at the present Victor hotel site by Rev. Mr. Trawick. Miss Mattie was a student there. Thinking about the old school since refer ence was made to it she has not been able to recall any other person cow living in Shelby who was a student. IS YOUR VOCABULARY LIMITED, TOO An observant, meticulous reader takes time off from * weightier and more worthwhile matters to inform that this corner overworks the word "however'. Quite likely, quite likely! But, since the question is up, how many words do you have in your every-day vocabulary, you and you and you? Statistics show' that al though there are 450.000 live words in the English language today, 10 or them comprise 25 percent of the words used in all our spoken and written conversation and communications. The 10, if you care to hear, arc the, of, that, it. I. is. and, to. a. in Tut, tut! Ask us another SHELBY SHORTS: . . > . Bill Williams, nearly everyone who has been here five years w more knows him, is another one. who has never seen the person re •ponsible for this colyum. How surprising—and, Bill, where's the bicycle? .Grover Hamrick, the Federal agent who boyhooded in Shelby, has several group pictures of bygone days that would start a riot in the city if published .... Editor Jim Hurley is nominating Clyde Hoey for gov ernor. Wonder If Editor Jim thinks Clyde's brother-in-law hasn't told him that “Taint as much fun as you might think"? .... That horseshoe • pitching contest Doc Dorton plans for the fair is causing a stir among some of the old codgers about the village who think they can beat any one in existence tossing ringers around the stake And we know a few youngsters who'll give them a run for the honors .... The outlook isn't ao blue. Cam Putnam and Bass Suttle are still tossing wisecracks around the court square and Hatcher Webb continues to rock the trees with an occasional mild chuckle . . . Winter's coming. Coal dealers are out scuttling up orders for summer delivery ... it is possible to get in the same issue of the same paper on the same day, but in some ways not ao pleasant to think about. On page eight of Wednesday’s Star was an item about Joseph Turner celebrating his 80th birthday near Casar On page one, same issue, was an item about his sudden death Wednes day morning GtOWN GURUS AND LITTLE GIRLS AND CLOTHES ? T "Grown girls are getting so they dress more and more like they dii when they were little girls,” observed a staid, elderly man known about. Shelby as a dry wit as he watched a couple of the young things pros by m street pajamas. There ain't much difference, in them things and the rompers they once wore, and very little difference, fur s 1 kin see, between the bath ing suits they wear and the one-piece outfit of childhood which neces sitated a safety pin " That’s one for the Pans style-makers to ponder on A LITTLE O’ THIS N' A LITTLE O* THAT How many business are conducted on what Shelby terms alleys? What hour and day was it when the now dead court house clock was first started? Who was the first Shelby man to wear a Tun? What Shelby woman was first to bob her hair? jay Are Dee s memories of boyhood days created much interest in Obese who ean recall the same thing. Who named the streets of Shelby? Who operated the last barroom in Shelby before prohibition came? rfm second thought, maybe we'd better pass that one up). What is the most valuable antique in Shelby?
