Mr. Shtealy was born at Little Mountain (like all* Shealys — good folks, too, even if they can’t agree on how to- spell their names). He is a son of -Jacob Wesley and Mamie Monts Shealy. As a young man Mr. Shealy went to Swansea in 1917 as clerk for the Seaboard Air Line railway. After working there a year he came to Goldville to become agent for the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens rail way. On October 12, 1920, he was transferred here to a position as op erator in the C. N. & L. office. On January 1, 1927, in recognition of his fidelity to duty and splendid rec ord, he was promoted to agent for the company, succeeding J. E. Ross. Since then, for 20 years, he has held this position, during which time he has made many business friends for his company. It is a significant fact that since Mr. Shealy began work he has never applied for a job, and each week change in his work has come as a promotion. Mr. Shealy is a modest .gentleman* who has made many friends in the city. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis club, Royal Arch Masons and Knights Templar. His church affiliation is with the First Presbyterian church. 3= =S* Number 38 Vesner Service Sneaker I 3718 Customers Usin 9 Vesper Service Speaker i B „ rnl E| ectr j co | Service In County Columbia Minister To Lead Services At Broad Street MB Evangelistic services as a part of the city-wide campaign, will begin at Broad Street Methodist church Monday and continue through next week, with services at 7:30 p.m. • The visiting minister to lead the services is the Rev.
