Another custom is gradually spread ing in this hection as well as that of the useful gift giving and that is shopping Shelby. In bygone years when Shelby was not the Shelby of today a large number of the people made shopping tours to other nearby towns and lilies for the better class of their Christmas articles.

Paul Webb, and composed of others who ra diated their gratefulnes sat the unrestricted night. All dignity was forgotten in the entrance to the dining room which was made while Buchanan's Orchestra rendered America, the Kiwanians and their guests assisting ably by tooting the tin horns that were given them with the paper hals and confetti. The tune of America evidently could not be dislodged for after everyone had located their place the song was the first number of the program, led by Mr. W. Fife Robertjon, musical director of the Central Methodist church The blessing was by Rev.

Rush Hamrick and Mr. Robertson Rang "Good Night," Good Night Beloved." Accompaniament by Miss Bertha Bostic, The feature of the evening followed in natural order as each Kiwanian introduced his guest. Some of the more clever introductions brought much hand-clapping, yelling, tooting of horns and quite a bit of heartily enjoyed embar rassment. Despite all it stood out as the bright light of the glittering occasion. The speech of welcome was by Max Gardner, president of the club, and responded to by Prof.

I. C. fin, superintendent of the Shelby schools. Both speeches were represen tative of the men and the occasion. A solo, "Just Her and an encore, "Smilin' by Miss Nye were received with such enthusiasm as to almost halt the eating, which is the most creditable criticism that could be made.

VORK COUNTY JAIL IS TENANTLESS AND STILL Empty and silent, aplaee of loneli-1 ness and solitude, stands today the York county jail. Tenanlless it has been ijince 'Saturday, when the last prisoner, a negro youth, was taken to the reformatory. An unaccustomed quiet broods over the place and the rows of empty steel cells look cd stranga and uncanny.

The-situation is unusual and it is not expect to last long. No one need think that the jail may be rented out Today, tomorrow, or the next day hardly longer those in position to know some one is almost sure to climb the stairs and take his place behind the bars. But an empty jail for only a few days is a start in the right direction and may presage the time when there will be only a memory. There are no indications however, that i-uch a golden" period is just around the corner.
