JR. -^3f HHM-M-M! "Our dream has come true at last," we told the boss as we proudly exhibited the plate of the new column heading which appears above. , • "Hmm-m-m," he said, "It might be a dream to you but judging from the looks of it, I'd say it will be a plain night mare to your readers, if any!" And that, ladies, gentlemen and children, is the way they talk about us right here at home! One would think, one would, that right here in the office one would be entitled to a little sympathy. Just because" we give our readers a little variety in the heading they start making wise cracks—even those whose pictures were published here when we were. running our "Who's Who" series—and good ness knows we were polite enough not to make fun of some of the pictures that appeared here then. Of course the photograph above is not quite as flattering as the drawing used heretofore, but we can't be blamed for making our self as pretty as possible in the drawing can we? We did the best we could with the photograph, taking out deep wrinkles, adding a little hair here and there and uncrossing the eyes, because after all we don't want to scare the children too much. We even went so far as to put on . a necktie when we had the picture made. But do we get any credit for that? Not on your life. Why chances are that right now there are hundreds of people sitting at home by the fire, not wondering how they are going to pay their coal bills, but thinking up wise cracks about the face that launched a thousand quips. So far as we know we're the only Browning to ever have his picture appear .in print. Of course we're not counting Uncle For Fresh Springtime Windows!

PEMNEY COMPANY, laMiy«»l«4 Culpepper's boy, Elmer, who had his appear in two different poses, with a number across the breast of each one. And Elmer wouldn't have had those made if the gov ernment hadn't insisted on it. Please don't get the impression that just because we are the first of our family to get his picture in print that other members haven't had pictures made. Pact is, we have a brotner and sister who have reached that place in the world that they scorn a mere photograph, and now have their portraits painted. Yessir, paint ed in oil colors, which calls for sittings daily. We also under stand they've taken up golf, which shows how times change. We can remember when mama never could get our sister or brother to do a little digging in the garden on the promise of pay, yet now they will get out on a golf course and dig up the green and pay for the privilege. But we're proud that our rela tives have reached the point where they can sit for oil por traits. Not that our folks have never been able to afford such splurges of vanity, but because they have reached the place where it can be done without em barrassment or undue hardship on the artist. You see, away THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA back down the line we had a great, great uncle who wanted his picture painted, but got mad because the artist insisted on painting in the bars. (Nancy, if this account of your kin and ancestors is causing you any undue embarrassment, we're just fooling.) But to get on about pictures, painting and things. Family rec ords show that there was another uncle who sat for a portrait for 20 days, but didn't see it com pleted because the artist, when he got around to-doing the nose, ran out of red paint. We guess we come by our fond ness for digging back among our ancestors honestly, for we've got a sister who, upon getting mar ried, started digging back among the ancestors of her husband. And she got so interested that she ordered the family coat-of arms from some firm in Texas which specializes in genuine coat of-arms made to order. When it came our sister was awful proud of it. It was rather pretty and impressive, having some Latin words on it, and a picture of a unicorn and a lion, but unfortunately, in loaning it around to the neighbors so they could admire it, it got lost. Well, not to be outdone, our sister ordered another. And this time the coat-of-arms was alto gether different! Which goes to show that fashions change with the seasons, even in the coat-of arms business. As for the Brownings, we've never ordered us a coat-of-arms. of course it would be nice to have one hanging around the house, we guess, but when you get right down to it, what does it get you? And besides, it would be right expensive what with the styles changing from year to year. Our father was never a man to dig around among his ancestors much. We have never been able to figure out whether he just doesn't care, or else believes in leaving well enough alone. He did start tracing back one time, though, but when he got back to Noah and the ark, he quit. He always was one to get sea sick.
