ATTENDS FIRST SHOW It is reliably reported here that the showing of the Ford Motor company picture, "These Thirty Years." was the first moving picture (Will Holcomb ever saw. It was the first free show ever to be staged here. According to our scouts, Mr. Hol comb fainted during the course of the movie. During an auction scene when the auctioneer was asking for bids on an old horse-drawn hack, a flock of chickens ambled up and flew into the vehicle. And so excited did Mr. Holcomb become at this inci dent that he jumped to his feet and bid thirteen dollars! Before the auctioneer had time to ask for further bids something scared the chickens out of the hack and Mr. Holcomb fainted for fear the old carriage would be knocked off to him. However, upon learning that the price had been raised and he would not have to buy the chickenless car riage, he recovered nicely. And while on the subject it has al so been reported that Mr. Holcomb recently attended a meeting of the Jonesville Parent-Teacher associa- | Biliousness 1 Sour Stomach Gas and Headache Constipation LONG STORY!^^^ IT'S NOT A bedtime story, either! There's so much length to a HANKS shirt tail that it can't inch up and bulge over the belt. Which proves you can keep a good shirt down! But that's only part of the story. HANES Shirts are plenty pliant! They snap and cling coolly into place . . . without a wrinkle or droop. And washing won't weaken the stretchy knit! Now ... here's the HANES short story. When you climb into a pair of HANES Shorts, you won't be double-crossed at the crotch! You can bend and stretch as much as you want—nothing pinches or clinches. Colors guaranteed fast.

Which is strange, because ev eryone knows Mr. Holcomb is not a teacher. \ HE LIKES EGGS This is none of our business, but our scouts informed us that M. Q. Snow went into a local cafe the oth er day and called for an order of eggs. "How do you like them?" the waitress asked before giving direc tions to the cook tor their prepara tion. "Oh. I like them fine!" Mr. Snow was said to have responded. We like them scrambled. WE GOT THIS STRAIGHT According to Mrs. Errol Hayes, Dick Frsetnan, of the knee-action wheels, approached her upon the subject of buying an automobile. "What do you call the one we've got?" Mrs. Hayes wanted to know. "The show boat," Mr. Freeman re plied. MUTTER AND MUMBLE In regards the Merchants associa tion play at the schoolhouse last Friday night, Mrs. A. L. Oriffeth de serves plenty of credit. You try di recting choruses every afternoon and amateur actors every night for about four weeks straight and see if ic isn't work . . . And in case you don't know it, Coy Bates put in plenty of hard work painting the scenery, as sisted by Sarah Click—and he didn't even get to see the thing . . . John Sagar is from England—and not a trade of English accent after four years in America. Like all English men we have known, he's a nice fel low . . . Paul Price looks swell in a uniform. Maybe we can arrange a war . . . Lots of blessed events here abouts these days , . . Dan Barbour is another advocate of street name plates and house numbering . . . Prospects of a shoe factory here have been revived . . . Duck Burch am says "40 years and don't know it all yet." With such frankness he could never be a politician . . . We understand French Oraham stands TOE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA the best chance of getting the post office—that it's in the bag . . . Frankly, we are going to miss Uncle Charlie Bodenheimer. Even if he is a Republican he is accomodating as nobody's business. And situated as we are we're in a position to know . . . Garland Johnson, cashier of the local bank, has suffered slight para lysis of the face due to sinus trou ble. Here's hoping his condition will have improved by the time this sees print ... A letter from home reports " —and if we have any more measles here there'll have to be a new crop of children." . . . THIS AND THAT Thanks to the kindness of Adam Elam the New York Daily Mirror continues to arrive daily. We wanted to go home for Easter, but measles is (or should it be are?) no respecter of holidays—as if we ever had a holiday. Carl Goerch in The State (for which Mrs. Weir is carrier boy) made the statement some weeks ago that a certain stretch of road somewhere ior oth°*- is the longest stretch of straight road in the state. He save the distance as six or seven miles, if we remember right. Huh, just let him drive from Boohville to East Bend and he'll see his mistake. That stretch lacks but a fraction of being 10 miles with nary a curve in it. Judge J. R. Patton. Jr., who dur ing our sojourn as court reporter in Durham was judge of recorder's court, is running for solicitor of su perior court in his district. And if we weren't afraid Mr. Brummitt would start a primary investigation or something we'd run down there and vote for him. Green at court reporting (or most any other kind, for that matter) Judge Patton's kindness in helping us over the rough spots through friendliness and a willingness to answer all questions (and some fool ones, we're afraid) has not been for gotten. And that, coupled with the belief that he would make a very capable solicitor is one of the rea sons we'd cast a vote for him. Even if he did yank us up in front of the whole court one day and use us as a model to show where a cer tain plaintiff had fractured a should er blade. We wouldn't have minded it so much if we hadn't had a big grease spot on our shirt due to a perusal of the under parts of Calam ity that morning. Those were good old days in Dur ham. We remember Officer Gill, of the detective force, who was al ways so good natured and who kept posted on the newest jokes. Just last week we read an account in the dailies telling of the electrocution of a Durham Negro who murdered Detective Gill while resisting arrest. But there we go again. Just an old man gloating in memories of the long long ago which cannot possibly be of any interest to anyone other than ourself. Jonesville News* Mrs. Selma Martin and Mrs. Maye Spann of Jonesville, spent Friday the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Spann and Miss Sadie Shores of Rena.

Bradley, Ken tucky turfman, a group of trainers, exercise boys and race track habit ues Friday night at Louisville, Ky., burned and hanged the Louisiana senator in effigy. The demonstra tion was inspired by Long's recent assertion on the floor of the senate that "in Kentucky Beadley may be a gentleman, but in Louisiana he is a dive-keeper."
