No. 202. held a called meeting at the then unearthly hour of 1 o'clock, or shortly thereafter, In the morning. This tact was recorded some time ago in this corner, while Masonic history was being related. But, somehow, we've been wondering about it Why did the Blue Lodge Masons hold a meeting at that time? What cid they do? It mtis, be remembered that in those days the South was at war v alt the North, and the South was losing. Guerilla bands and Yankee cavalrymen were sweeping through the section, raiding granaries and homes. It was the beginning of the darkest period this section has ever experienced. Yet the Masons, as always, stuck together, D’d they meet that night to discuss what might be done about the rampages of the newly freed blacks? Or did they gather to talk over some method of saving their mothers, wives and daughters from other dangers? Or had some member violated some of his oaths, a violation important enough to call a communication in such dire times? We wonder. It was a dangerous thing for-that many Southerners—-rebels—to "t together in otic place those days. It would be a good juicy slaughter lor the opposition Yet the lodge met. The records show that. Likely as not they met in utter secrecy, behind closed doors, as usual, and chances are, in order to take no chances, tha*. it was a session of whispers close by a kero sene lamp. * Somewhere about Shelby there must be a son of a man—a Mason himself—who has heard from his father what, took place that night. We're just so curious we’d like to know. Perhaps- it is a Masonic secret, hut, if not. what an interesting story it would be S-O-S!

Just one ot the aighus to be seen in Shelby as the Armistice Day celebration was nearing a close Wednesday evening: A quartet of vet erans, all nearing , middle age and for 300-and-some days in the year all sedate, settled-down fellows, singing the sung the boys of '18 always hark back to when they get together. With their arms wrapped around each other, they iiad very little harmony but plenty of spirit. One would be two ot three words ahead of the others, and one was at least a verse behind. But what did it matter—they were singing aud having a good time of it. For that matter, the chorus, or, rather, a part of the chorus, vas all they sang—and that over and over again in this fashion: "Mademoiselle from Armentleres . Uh! Parlee-voo! Parlee-voo! Oh. Mademoiselle from Armenlleres . . . Uhl Htc, unk, Htel A-Parlee voo! Hie! A-Parlee-voo!" It was the big day that comes only once each year for them. No body seemed to be opposed to their making the most of It. and Thurs day morning, likely, the vets, back on the Job, were themselves Rlad that Armistice day comet just once each year. FAMILY OK PUPPIES ON CHARITY LIST It tsn't such a hard-hearted world. Judging by this from B. II: “Out in the woods on the north sick' of highway 20 at Cleveland Springs Is a mother dog and 10 puppies doing well despite the fact that they tmv< no home Someone taking a stroll found the pups and their mother, all nearly ;tarved and their ribs sticking out like’ the ridges on a wash board. But since then members of a kind-hearted Shelby family haw been currying food to the big canine family each day, and a box his been placed there to give them a warm place in which to sleep. Now they're till plump and healthy and" everyone of the 10 pups lived something unusual in a few more days some youngster about town who neds a pal can very readily adopt one of the pups. Although, the offspring of a mongrel, they are frisky, intelligent pups.'' JOHN 3:10 WHAT IS it: Over the entrance To The right hand first floor door of the Wash ington street side of the Central Methodist church is the inscription: • Erected in li»24 John 3:18.” Mow many can tell without looking what the verse is? THEN AND. NOW Ar. entertaining columnist on the staff of a North Carolina news paper, one who gets pretty good pay for hts service and art, made moie money on the first Armistice Day 13 years ago as a newsboy of 14 than lie outdo Armistice day lids week. Extras outsold hot-cakes or any thing else that day, and everybody was so elated that no one aski;d changt buck from a newsboy, no matter how much money was handed the newsy. ■ac St. Paul News Of Late Interest Murray Family Give* Delightful Party, Jennie I.ou Beam Improving. i Special td The Star.)

JSvERYONE knows now that Camels are the fresh cigarette. If inquiry went deeper, it would reveal that Camels are the natural moisture cigarette. . That’s important, because in handling fin*; to baccos, when you process out natural moisture, you sacrifice freshness and flavor too. Camel smokers needn’t worry about that, because Camels are blended of fine Turkish and mild Domestic tobaccos that are never subjected to violent process iug. They need no parching or toasting to make them smooth, palatable, cool. That’s why the Camel Humidor Pack is such a boon to Camel smokers —it preserves the freshness, flavor, natural moisture, fragrance that are in this fine ciga rette to start with. Camels are fresh in nature’s own mild way, and if you want to see what that means in unalloyed smoke* enjoyment, switch to them for just one day — then leave them, if you can! R- J.
