THE I^SH
THIS AND THAT
This column is being written on Sunday night, not be
cause we want to but because we feel we ought to. Just
between us and the gate post, we don't feel up to it; we don't
feel good at all. If we left it out no one would miss it, but
there's got to be some kind of type set to take up this space
so we might as well fill it with the Gab Bag as something
else.
We feel tired; chances are if we had a good examination
the doctor wouldn't be able to find a single vitamin. The
sparkle has gone from our eyes,4
the spring from our step. Just a
weary old man growing older,
that's us.
' Why don't you pinch hit for us
some week and let us take a rest?
Nearly eight years of fooling
around with something as silly as
the Gab Bag is enough to get a
fellow down; nearly eight years
with never a column missed; with
never a thought captured; with
never an idea presented. That's
a record of some sort.

We were asked the other day:
"Why don't you jump on some
body or something like you used
to?" Why don't we? Why don't
you? If you feel there are ills
about that need curing, you play
doctor. We don't feel like it. We
don't even feel up to making a
few remarks about folks who
have these record playing ma
chines in their place of business
turning them on so Joud that
they can be heard for blocks—
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
and far, far into the night—so
that a fellow can't sleep.
We had a report on Jones Hol
comb's visit to the world fair the
ether day, detailing how Jones
stood on the corner of Broadway
and 42nd street without attempt
ing to cross. He thought a pa
rade was going by, when it was
the usual traffic. We haven't
checked up yet, but Jones must
have sold an awning somewhere
or other, or he wouldn't have
gone to the fair.
We haven't heard anymore
about that lady ghost we wrote
about last week. Just another
tale, we reckon. But it did sound
interesting at the time.
By the way, that brick-red egg
that was left at this office last
week and which was duly report
ed in last week's Tribune, is still
on hand at this writing. If the
owner doesn't want it et, he'd
better hurry in for it.
Have you moved lately? Fre
quently people ask us where we
live, and we always tell them
"here and there, around and
about." We can't move again,
because we've got all our furni
ture bound up with baling wire
and any slight little jar would
cause it to fall to pieces. Bobby
was making some sort of gadget
the other day that required a
piece of wire, and as a result we
had to eat dinner off the floor.
Imagine that!
