THE [mSH BROWNING,^ IN THE MATTER OF WILL HOLCOMB'S HAT Now please don't all of you fall dead, but Will Holcomb is sporting a new hat these days. That in itself could be counted as real news, but the amazing thing about it is—the hat was a gift of Q. Snow. Don't jump at conclusions. Mr. Snow didn't give Mr. Holcomb the hat of his own free will. It happened this way: Mr. Holcomb, attired in his best straw which was a real bargain at 98 cents back in 1934, wandered into Mr. Snow's store not so many days ago to«i join in the weighty discussion al ways to be found in progress there. It being a hot day, he re moved his hat carefully (to keep it from falling all to pieces), ard put it on the counter. Shortly thereafter a gentleman whose name is unknown, walked into the store to buy a hat. Per haps not having his glasses with him, he picked up Mr. Holcomb's hat, placed it upon his head, and asked Mr. Snow the price. Mr. Snow, hardly pausing in a serious bit of comment concerning a cer tain traveling salesman, answered "one dollar." The customer hand ed out a dollar and went blissful ly upon his way with lilr.

Time passed, and when several weighty matters had been clear ed up with such comment as "Now I'll tell you one," Mr. Hol comb, who had seen his hat de part atop another's, head, asked Mr. Snow where he kept his best hats. He then walked over, se lected his size, placed it atop his head, and walked out. And that's how Mr. Snow sold Mr. Holcomb's hat. Although the rumor has not been verified, it is understood that the deal cast Mr. Snow 38 cents over and above the price of the hat Mr. Holcomb THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA selected, which went for a cer tain amount of ammonia which he needed in large quantities when it dawned upon him what had happened. * * * DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT— It's in the air that the Dobson CCC camp is going to be moved to the vicinity of Elkin within the near future. There's nothing def inite about this, but we've heard it from several sources. So authentic did one source seem, that we made a special trip to the camp ourself to ask Lieut. Huff, the officer in charge, about it. However, he knew nothing definite and was unable to tell us anything. He said news of that nature would be an nounced from CCC camp head quarters. if and when any such news was to break. It was our first trip to the camp. Both Lieu*. Huff and Second Lieutenant Johnson, sec ond in command, appear to be unusually nice fellows. All the boys we saw there too, were plea sant, polite and quick to give us information as to the where abouts of the officers and their quarters. The camp itself is a swell place, neat as a pin and or derly in every way. From what we could gather, a new district has been created, in cluding Surry, Yadkin and a part of Wilkes. Elkin lies at 'the cen ter of this district and would be the logical place for the location of the camp in event the powers that be should decide upon mov ing it. * » • • THIS AND THAT We noticed quite a bit of dou ble parking down on the main drag the otner night. But while p. nuisance to motorists passing up and down the street, it is a result of the growing need for more parking space. Whether you realize it or not, Elkin badly needs more streets. The town is growing in popula tion, and when folks come down town there is not enough room for all the cars. Thus folks wish ing to stop at a store for a mo ment are faced with either park ing a long distance away and walking, or double parking for a short while. When the Chatham Manufac turing company moves its plant here this problem is going to be increased a hundred fold, and, always trying to be of service to cur readers, we have started wor rying about it already. This should be a comfort to you, knowing that we are doing your worrying at no extra charge. Now if we could just get someone to worry about us, everything would be Jake. We guess it's a good thing we have a large capacity for worry ing, what with Gene Hall and his assistant, C. J. Hyslup, needing a lot done. Those two, what with i handling soft ball, safety and a 1 young men's club, keep us work j ing overtime to get all their wor rying done. Sometimes we even have to worry on Sunday. But we seriously doubt that it's appreciated, even though we give them our special super de luxe type of worrying. It may be that we are going to be forced to get an assistant or else give up the Job altogether. Miss Austin, editor of the Blanketeer, Chatham publication, has us do some of her worrying, too. We enjoy worrying for Miss Austin, because we believe she really appreciates it, but we doubt seriously that Mr. Hyslup and Gene do. They appear to take it for granted, even going so far as complaining when our worrying doesn't come up to their idea of par. Perhaps you have some worry ing you need done. If you do, telephone 98576645342 and ask for King Blozo. BETHEL , The many friends of Mr. David R. Gilliam will be glad to know that he has returned from the Forsyth Sanitorium.
