THIS AND THAT
This missing book situation is getting serious. First,
Uncle Bill Whitaket loses a book, and we advertise in this
column for it. Then up pops J. R- Windsor with the flact
that he, too, has lost a book, and we advertised for that. All
this advertising reminded Uncle Dick Harris that he had lost
a book?—and doggone it—we were the one who had it. So
we returned it.
'f' ' *
But now, to make matters worse, up pops Will Holcomb,
who says he has lost a book that he prizes very highly and
he is offering a reward for its return and no questions ask
ed. Someone borrowed it several months ago* he thinks,
but he can't remember who. The*
• title of the book is "Nursery
Rhymes by Mother Goose." Any
one having this book in their
possession is urged to return it to
Mr. Holcomb, at the same time

\ FILL PERSONAL NEEDS
WITH A BANK LOAN
Personal expenses of an unexpected nature often cause
unnecessary sacrifice in the families of salaried and
wage earner groups. These emergency expenses can
usually be met with a bank loan, and good business
practice recommends this course.
Loans to' responsible individuals are easily arranged, 1
and the convenience of such a method of borrowing
recommends it to many who have not had an occasion
■to call upon the services of a bank. Investigate our
Poah service!

Our Uncle Culpepper once
bought a book, forgetful at the
time that he didn't know how to
read. Being of Scotch descent
he spent SSOO acquiring an edu
cation so as not to lose anything
on the purchase.
Speaking of our Uncle Culpep
per reminds us of the tale our
grandmother used to tell concern
ing Uncle Culpepper's ancestor,
Snaddie Culpepper, who stowed
on the Mayflower and came over
with the Pilgrims. According to
grandma, Snaddie was an easy
going sort of fellow, but he made
the mistake of marrying one of
these nagging kind of women, and
she no sooner had roped Snaddie
THE ELRIM TBIBTTm ELKIH, NORTH CAMffIA
in than she began to make life
miserable for him,
Great,, great, great Grandpa
Snaddie stood it as long as he
could, then lost patience. Being
friendly with the chief of a tribe
of Indians who lived nearby, he
paid him five dollars to kidnap
his wife.
The Indian chief fulfilled his
part of the bargain and for a few
days life was very peaceful for
great, great, great Grandpa snad
die. Then one day the Indian
chief came in and offered him
ten dollars if he'd let him bring
great, great, grandma back.
There were some who "thought
that this woman was one of the
reasons the Indians received such
a bad impression of the first
white settlers.
We were listening to someone
discuss the current liquor situa
tion in North Carolina the latter
part of last week. This person was
of the opinion that those who fa
vor the county option plan and
those who are against it, should
not be referred to as "wets" and
"drys." Rather should they be di
vide into two classes as being' for
"control" or "uncontrol" as is
now the case.
There is liquor, plenty of liq
uor, being sold here and elsewhere
every day, this man pointed out
that brings no revenue to any
one other than those who unlaw
fully sell it. Under the county op
tion plan the sale of whisky would
be under supervision with a con
siderable amount of revenue go
ing to the county.
Such control, he said, would
work a hardship on those unlaw
fully selling the stuff. The county
police would be a heap more in
terested in closing up illicit liquor
places with them cutting into the
county revenue than they are now
while no revenue is available.
Sounds logical, but then that's
only one side of the question. And
being in our accustomed good
health we'd rather not get mixed
up in it to any great extent.

EDITORIAL
Now that the Elkin school gym
nasium is practically completed
and a brand spanking new bas
ketball tournament nearly ripe for
the playing, there comes to our
attention an editorial written by
Miss Lesbia Graham concerning
the matter.
The regular editorial columns
of this particular issue having al
ready been filled with what you'll
find in 'em, we're taking the pri
vilege of printing Miss Graham's
editorial herewith, trusting she
won't mind it being placed in a
place where practically no one will
see it, other than our nine regu
lar readers.
Apologizing thusly, the editorial
follows.' '
"Now that the dream of hun
dreds of Elkin's high school stu
dents (some graduated and some
here with us), has been realized
and we really possess a gym, the
students should be very grateful!
If ever a high school needed a
gym, Elkin is that! For years—in
deed ever since our school has had
athletics, and basketball in parti
cular—we've had outstanding ath
letes—some of the best players to
be found anywhere—with nothing
better than that dilapidated ware
house (known as the "cracker
box") to fill the needs of our
basketball teams.
"In the past our basketball
players have done their best under
the prevailing circumstances, play
ing a good game unmindful of
chilly atmosphere in the "crack
erbox," and of the very small
handful who had come to cheer
the team on to victory. Today,
with one of the finest gymnasiums
to be found anywhere almost com
pleted, it is up to the students to
make all that goes with the gym
the finest to be found. The stu
dents, alone, CAN make our stan
dard the highest.
"To christen our new gym (a
memorial to the good intentions
of many who have attended this
school and have gone on), we are
planning a basketball tournament
which is to begin February 26.
"A new school! A new gym! Is
there any more we could ask?"
WINDS DO HEAVY
DAMAGE SUNDAY
Charlotte, Feb. 21.—A severe
wind swept through Charlotte and
neighboring Concord tonight, de
molishing some houses and doing
much other heavy damage, but
only one serious injury was re
ported.
A number of persons were
slightly hurt by flying timbers and
glass, but did not require hospital
treatment.
The storm cut a path several
blocks wide and approximately
three miles long through Char
lotte, then hopped through the
open country to Concord, 20 miles
away. Police reported hundreds of
Concord houses damaged, but no
dead or seriously injured.
