Thursday, August 16, 1934 ft BY ALAN BROWNING, JR.— » AT RANDOM To add real interest to local baseball frames the powers that be should get any one of the town commissioners to act as umpire. ... It's being told around town that a lady customer called up Will Holcomb and told him to send her out two pounds of steak. She then asked "how is your liver?" to which Mr. Holcomb is said to have responded: "Just fine, thank you ma'm, how's yours?" .. . With the defense in the Eldridge murder case so freely predicting a nol pros, think how embarrassing it would be if it didn't come about... All the lawyers say that Judge Oglesby, presiding over the Childress case, is hard boiled as nobody's business ... If you want anything killed as dead as the proverbial door nail, just appoint a committee to look after it. For instance, take the street markers for Elkin. That matter" went to a committee—and oblivion, it appears. Wilbur Carter was in a few mo ments ago greatly disturbed. Seems that he was nearly mobbed the other night as the instigator of a few re marks which appeared here last week NOTICE Pay your electric light bill before the 10th of each month. 5 percent will be added after the 10th.

But although innocent, Mr. Carter thoroughly agrees that some thing ought to be done about other wise attractive young ladies attempt ing to decorate their fingertips in jH|JHB|MThe exceptional popularity which Cbev rolet has enjoyed for many years has naturally had its effect on Chevrolet prices. Large sales hare enabled Chevrolet to maintain consistently low purchase prices, which were recently lowered even further. As a result Chevrolet now offers you the lowest priced six-cylinder automobile obtainable—a big, com fortable car with Fisher Body styling and refinement safe, weatherproof, cable-controlled brakes—the smooth ness and economy of a valve-in-head, six-cylinder engine •—and typical Chevrolet dependability. In offering this car, and the Master models, at substantially lower prices, Chevrolet hopes to repay the motoring public in some measure, for consistently placing Chevrolet so high in public favor.

As for anklets, everyone knows of the female aversion to garterless socks on men . . . Yet with perfect disdain for their own appearance many young ladies go the men one better in sloppiness when they come out in anklets . . . But that's just our opinion, which perhaps is not worth the ink that it takes to print It. . . Column writing—even such an ex cuse as this—is far more interesting when someone takes exception to something that appears in 'it . . . As a personal favor will someone please get sore ... Although we are loath to brag about it, the Gab Bag now has six readers. Three that have read the column since its first appearance, and another who reads it three time. That makes six, even if this last fellow is a prdof reader. John "Arthur Brisbane" Sagar, since doing an article for The Tri bune last week on "Lefty" Southard, is seriously thinking of turning out a feature story on "The Private Life of the Earwig," a ( subject we have "had in mind for many years but just never have gotten around to . . . The Winston-Salem Journal, In a story bearing a local date line last week, stated definitely that Joe Biv ins was to act as general manager of the Masonic Picnic here this year. . . . And Mr. Bivins states just as definitely that he ain't gonna do no sich ... In selecting a jury last week to try the Tilleys, each man was asked if he had read of the case in the newspaper, and if so, what pa per? . . . That fellow who said he'd never heard of the case should make a fine juror. He ought to have an open mind, at any.rate . . . The pool room may open and the pool room may close, but we're go ing on in the even tenor (or barri tone) of our way and refuse to bother about it any more . . . It's been a great strain on us to open it one week and close it the next — and be wrong in every story . . . Wonder how Sunday baseball would work here? Huh? Well, 'taint no harm in wondering, is there? . . . . We've heard Elkin is going to have night baseball next year . . . And that's not all we've heard, but then you can't tell everything . , . It's a sight how much black ink one can get on a clean shirt in a printing office. . . We could have perhaps done better as a vice-presi dent of a busted bank . . . Speaking of banks, who remembers when bank failures were played down by the newspapers—and two or three went flooie every day . . . And when they were closing up all over the country by executive order—and hysteria was becoming more and more apparent —and when Mr. Roosevelt came along? . . . Yet some folks would have other folks believe that times are no better. Bunk! Everyone is talking about the Till ey case these days . . . Some think they'll all come clear and others don't . . . And all of them know very little about it . . . Remember the Alma Galling case in Reidsville a number of years ago? , . . And "Thunderbolt" Pardue, the tattling parson? ... He used to drop into the Daily Record office in Greensboro ever so often—after further publicity .. . Nothing so distasteful as pub licity seeking preacher of his type. We're going to have to change the picture at the top of this column . . . Too many people remarking on the likeness . . . The end . . . P. S. This column was written last Thursday—which should ex plain a number of remarks pertain ing to the Tilley case which ended Saturday. Bethel News Ronda, Route 2, Aug. 13.—Mrs. C. L.

It seems as if it is one of the busiest times of the year now for the farmers as they are gathering and curing tobacco and is almost time to gather fodder and hay. Corn crops are looking fine.
