Around Our TOWh OR Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN 1)111 V. ♦iMJ- *.*«.*♦ TWO FLIVVERS DISPUTE ROAD Such things are not halt as Humorous when related as in actuality vet several folks a(wut town are still chuckling over the happening. Doan at the Alley InteresciJon between the milk plant and Firs Baptist church one evening this week two flivvers rounded opposite cor ners and ran their noses together. Perhaps it was because they wen hungry and tired, anyway, both men became angry, and both refused t< back up an inch. As a result neither could more. It was an uinusln, ght. I inally, one backed up a few Inches—not enough to give tin other much ground-then shot forward again. The radiators bumped together. Then the other backed up and did some bumping of his own rhey kept It up a minute or two, neither bumping very hard, perhaps for fear that he might damage his own car. The two drivers became so angry at everything about them that the audience moved off without awaiting to see how it ended We wonder. TRESTLE JUMP CAUSED A BIG SPREE Tt lan't often thac a trageuy ends in a Whoopee party, or is respon mble for a drunken jubilee Yet such happened In Shelby many yeurs ago. It must have been 35 or 30 years back, for Mac Wilkins (how old were you, Mac?) was just a youngster and a passenger on the ill-fated train. The Southern, a mixed tram, was headed from Marlon to Shelby Juat as tt hit the railroad trestle, just west of Shelby, the trestle crum bled and there was a terrific crash. Among the other ears on the train was m* loaded with barrels of booze from the then famous distillery at Marlon, The barrels burst or leaked and good "Cool Carolina Corn" ran everywhere. There was a water ditch running from the field near the edge of the fallen trestle to the river. This ditch very near filled up. Among the big crowd that dashed out from Shelby to see the wreck were several well known imbibers. They couldn’t stand to see the booze poor down the terrace into the river, but they had nothing to scoop it «p With. Finally one of them noticed a cartoon of snuff boxes that had been Jarred open In the crash. Then the procession formed, snuff boxes were grabbed and carried to the river, hurriedly washed out, and re turned to the ditch flowing with whiskey. Very little whiskey trickled into the river after that, and not very many of that particular gang got back to town before the following morning. (Of mine we expect every man who drank from a snuff boa that day to twite m and give his name and address). TUNER BLOWING THE WRONG TUNE W. A. Pendleton, the music man, says, m a Star ad, that there Is a piano tuner, by the name of Horn, going about Cleveland county rep resenting that he works for Pendleton. Taln't so, says Mr. Pendleton Which is to say that it is now up to the man to toot his own Horn. SHELBY SHORTS: Business of welcoming a newcomer m the Shelby business district, N L. Hart, Eflrd manager .... You’d be surprised how many things are made In Shelby. Mr. and Mrs. George Elam, who serve parties, fill private orders, etc., make a type of homemade oandy that has only one drawback--one eats too much .... Did you know that living near Shel by, on Ho. 18 south, is a man who makes a hobby of collecting mill stone,:? .There’s a long, tall, dusky chef at the Piedmont cafe who knows all the tricks of the cooking profession. He never gets onions in •f.ia eyes when he slices them, for he puts a piece of bread in his mouth and holds his mouth open, or putt the bread on the end of the knife blade. No tears then. Try it. And if your hot cakes are Inclined to stick to tire pan or griddle, and they usually are. just slice a piece of turnip and rub it over the bottom of the pan. They'll slide out then like greased butter ... . . Any number of Shelby wives, who used rolling pins and other necessary force to get their husbands to study a certain contract bridge system, are all worried over the report that the system may be abandoned. Ha! Hal (Listen at the boys Join in on the chorus) ..One 8helby boy at Mars Hill college has been nick-named • Rome®" and another ”Hudberry".No housewife’s home in Shelby is more spick and span than the poet office where John Phifer is cus todian ..... Bob Reynolds said while in Shelby that one of his most enthusiastic local supporters is a nurse .... Shelby cigarette smokers are now oussing cellophane wrappers; the fags, they say, dry out faster now than aver.The best score turned in on the Cleveland Springs golf course by a feminine player was said to have been made recently by a young lady going around for the first time. Of course some of the others may say that perhaps she thought you counted only the drives. BUMS TO HAVE. COTS IN SHELBY Last winter—remember?—one of Shelby’s biggest problems was to provide sleeping quarters for down-and-outers who drifted into the city about dark. Everyone decided that it was best to put them up some where so as to keep them out of trouble. Ere long nightfall will find many wanderers along Shelby streets looking for a shelter for the night, and this is to announce that one is ■toeing provided. Last winter many of them slept on the floor and in the hallways at the City Hall. But this winter Mayor S. A. McMurry has purchased 20 oots, at a bargain price, to be used by the shivvering un fortunates who have nowhere else to sleep. They will be put up at the lire department and police station. •RANK IIP HIS EVIDENCE Not long since “the law” raided a colored establishment m Snelby ■and found a quantity of homebrew. A brother of the raided man realized that he had some brew in his house next door and dashed over ahead ot the oHicers. He hated to pour it out and he did not want to be caught —so he started drinking, He had just disposed of the last bottle when the officers walked in. Crumpled up in a chair, he stammeringly told the officers to go ahead and search. They found nothing but empty oOttles, but the colored boy couldn’t walk for two hours thereafter. Don’t forget the big Armistice Day program at the fairgrounds Wed nesday afternoon! I 16TH IN CIRCULATION IN NORTH CAROLINA The Star is 16th in circulation of all the newspapers in North Carolina.
