GAB &f\ I BAG flgW %M. By ALAN BROWNING, Jr. MRS. E. B. LAWREJNCE It is only right and proper that we, in presenting to ' our ;aders many of the business men of Elkin and vicinity, should vitch over to the feminine sids and present a business woman. iiii ■ JIBB v?-v*.

Personally, Mrs. Lawrence i nan and it's a real pleasure to have* ker pictured here today even if she loes swat us over the head with a [latiron the very next time she sees is. But that's all right, we'll take a ihance. rHE WALTON TWINS, IN PERSON As a rule we don't like to drag in members of The Tribune staff when siting this .column, but we think it >f utmost importance that we sort >f mention the fact that we have ;wo Izaak Waltons here in the per sons of Ot (Humidifier) Laffoon, tnd Odell (Linotype) Beck. yefore coming to Elkin Mr. Beck, s understood, had never seen a r, so naturally he wanted to go ing. Ot. always a kind, helpful Soul, consented to go with him.

Although Mrs. Lawrence is the first -woman to appear in the Gab Bag series, we hope to have others as the weeks pass by. It's highly probable that Mrs. Lawrence is not going to like it when she sees herself pictured here, but we believe in giving credit where credit is due, let our scalp fall where it may. As man ager of Lawrence Cleaners since the untimely death of her hus band about two years ago, she has carried on and conducted the busi ness in a manner that can only bring her credit. As a result of her management Lawrence Cleaners has been re modeled and equipped with the a likeable, pleasant type of wo- So the other evening, as the sun began to cast long shadows here and yon, Ot and Beck, armed with suffi cient hooks to hang a hog and enough lead sinkers to sink the U s S. S. Hootnanny, not to mention 10 pounds of bait made of dough and cotton, started forth. It is reliably understood that they didn't catch a single fish due to Ot getting hungry and eating the bait. But other reports have it that Beck got a bite and upon jerking his hook madly from the water, found that he had merely hooked the U. S. S. Lizzie by mistake. He threw it back in. Another report is to the effect that Ot actually got a bite and, as his cork was madly bobbing up and down, whispered excitedly to Beck "When do I jerk? When do I jerk?" Whenever it was, he jerked too late. The fishing trip was terminated when a complaint was made by Ad miral Rudolph Von Foreman, of the U. S. S. Percy. Admiral Foreman complained that the fishermen were causing waves with their fishing that were threatening the entire Yadkin fleet. Admiral Foreman also stated that his son is contemplating launching a new addition to Elkin's war fleet sometime soon, and that this new super-dreadnaught must have abso lute calm. It is to be christened the U. S. S. Sourpuss. But more about this new ship later. Anyway. Ot and Beck had a good time fishing and they are going again soon if some way is found to keep Ot out of the bait can. THIS AND THAT In case the newspaper business should get tired of us, we figure we'd have no trouble in landing a job up at the skating rink as special instructor' on the art of falling. We've had plenty of experience. The only drawback to getting a fall on skates that we have is—we have to fall so far. We're not as young as we once were, either. Will Holcomb, who is always re minding somebody that he is a man of unquestioned integrity, states that Mr. M. Q. Snow is heartily in favor of local stores closing a half day each week during the summer so that he can go fishing on a week day instead of on Sunday. Mr. Hol comb pointed out that Mr. Snow, upon being asked to sign an agree ment to close one-half day each week during the months of July and August, signed and then rushed to his store and grabbed his fishing pole and set out. He thought the agreement became effective immed iately. Oswald H. Gumbersnitz, we're afraid, is getting the political bee in his bonnet again. He was in this morning sort of hinting around to get our opinion on his candidacy for some office or other, doesn't make much difference what, Just so he's running for something. And THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Simpson was right on his heels with a hopeful look in his eyes. Bis wants someone to manage. We advised Mr. Gumbersnitz that if he must run for something, to run for governor against Mr. Mc- Rae. According to various and sun dry polls now being conducted, Mr. Mcßae ought not to be hard to beat. Mr. McDonald, whose entry into the governorship race "was at first regarded as a joke, doesn't seem nearly so funny to a lot of people nowadays. Fact is, he's putting wrinkles in quite a number of brows. Not that we're worried, however. Regardless of who wins out and goer, to Raleigh, we're not going to lose any sleep about it. As if a mere political race could get US excited. Tsk, tsk. Still, this business of carrying around three campaign buttons un der our lapel and stopping to bring out the proper one when we enter a store is getting sort of tiresome.
