' -.— i f ABOUT THIS AND THAT There's a lot to be done around here before you nine readers get your hands on this particular issue of The Tri bune, and so naturally we were expecting Simpson, ihe right r handed man with the left handed brain, to turn up with A another of his scoop pictures and thus help fill up this col- C umn and save us some work. But, true to form, we haven't * seen or heard hide nor hair of the gentleman. It may be just as well, for the picture of Adolf Hitler published here last week as he was trying to sell Mr. William V. Holcomb on his Strength-* Through-Joy movement, has caused us some trouble. In the first place, Mr. Holcomb says he doesn't care to be addressed as "Herr Holcomb," and we've had a wire from the State Department at Washington saying that Cor dell Hull, secretary of state, has received a protest from Germany. It seems the Germans don't want Mr. Holcomb liberated even if Adolf did.

And we, with this Christmas edition on our hands, have enough to worry j about without everyone jumping on us. Still, in case Simpson should turn up with any unusual pictures we will pass them along, for we feel it our duty to keep our readers informed of what is going on. It appears that our readers haven't been so well informed as to events pictured in the last two photographs, for we've yet to see anyone who was present at the scene when the photos were made —not even those shown. Oh well, when one can bring out a scoop that even scoops those pictured, one is really go ing to town in the way of a scoop, one is. Or is one? Elkin's stop lights, when they get here, are to be wired so that both sides may be turned on red, stopping all traffic, in case of a fire alarm. Or so we've heard. They still come in for the free theatre tickets The Tribune, through the cooperation of the Elk and Lyric theatres, gives away each week. In making these pictures on the street, it has been surprising to note how many of the same people are here on Saturday af ternoon. We've seen some of them so many times we've almost reached a speaking acquaintance. Although Elkin's street decora tions haven't been lighted up at this writing, it looks like a good job from here, and very attrac tive. What with the gaily dec orated streets and this Christmas edition of The Tribune, the Christmas spirit (we didn't say "spirits"), should really start flowing. And after an exhaustive survey of all of Elkin's stores, we'll also say that there's no need to go dashing off to a larger town to do Christmas shopping. What we never could figure is why one wants to spend money to drive an automobile 50 or 80 miles to buy and pay more for an article that they could get here merely, by coming down town. It seems that Elkin's new jail is much more popular than the old one was. There's hardly a night that you won't see the light on when you pass there. But, what with all the conven iences of home and no cat to wind or clock to put out, it does have its advantages. Go get locked up sometime. Marion Allen felt rather flat tered over a recent picture of him which ra* in this paper follow ing the unveiling of the monu ment to Surry county soldiers at Dobson. Everyone told him what a good picture it was. Of course it wasn't Marion's fault that it was a rear view. And did you hear about the L. B. Abernethy Sunday school class of the Elkin Methodist church going on a 'possum hunt one night a week or so ago? At least it was supposed to have been a 'possum hunt but turned out to be a dog hunt. The only real excitement of the night was when a 'possum treed Doc. Abernethy in a per simmon tree. And he wouldn't let Doc. down until Fidel Sale ex plained the rules and regulations of 'possum hunting. But don't pay any attention to anything we say. L L HOLCOMB DIES SUDDENLY Well Known Citizen and Churchman Succumbs at Center Home FUNERAL HELD FRIDAY Isaac Lee Holcomb, 82, died suddenly at his home at Center, three miles west of Yadkinville, Wednesday night at 10 o'clock. Mr. Holcomb had been in de clining health for several months but ate a hearty supper and was as well as usual when he retired. Mr. Holcomb was born in Yad kin county April 16, 1857, a son of the late John B. and PoUy Long Holcomb. He had spent his life in the county and was a retired farmer.
