Dto you remember? Extra! Extra! Elkin, Feb. 11. (1932) —(Assassinated Press) —It was learned today from red paint dispensers here that the red paint business during the latter part of last week was the best in their history. "The outlook for 1932 glows rosily red," Mr. Jasper Flutterwich Timplenose stated Thursday morning as he proudly pointed up Main street where huge signs loudly pro claimed a Banner Bargain Sale,* a Going out of Business sale ana a Fire Sale, "and if we can induce other merchants of the town to fling a sale of some kind or other, we should be able to retire after a few months. "There is really no doubt but that we are putting out the best Sale paint to be obtained here. Note the glow of those signs as they flap in the breeze. Especially sign number 16 over McDaniel's. That sign is painted with our best eye-dazzling, come-and-get-the bargalns green, trimmed in Ver million. The sign over Ray & Gil liam's is Fire Sale Red, No. 366%. ■Hi JOHNNY BEHR says: "With Camels, my di ' gestion works smooth ly." Camels speed up die flow of digestive W'J M fluids— alkaline fluids.

It was a special order.

We await the future with confi dence." This and Thai Business of thanking Mr. Duck Burcham for the beautiful hand made imported blue necktie he presented us with last week.

Patrolman Lents can rest from ihis efforts, if any, in trying- to catch us driving our flivver, Ca lamity, with 1931 tags. Although we have often fixed a breakdown with a piece of string, we have never been able to coax it to run without gas. Other towns have experienced the same thing Elkln is now going through, and emerged. (Hie El kln National Bank had Just clos ed). Pardon this crack: It looks as if Louis Mitchell is bringing the picture, "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse" to the Lyric theatre at a very appropriate time. (The receiver hadn't even come yet). Remarks and Remarks Oswald H. Gumbersnitz, candi date for something or other, was in the office today and regaled us with a discussion of both pros and cons mostly pros. Oswald states that the only dark side he can see in the closing of the TCiirin l National Bank is the fact that his campaign funds were there and now he can't get at them he will have to withdraw from the race. That should be encouraging to everyone. Of course everyone knows how the local barbers took advantage of the situation by going up 10c on shaves. But looking at it in a fair manner discloses the fact that the barbers really could not make a profit by shaving the long faces aronnd here for a mere 20 cents. As we see it, from now on it will be "inexcusable for anyone around here to start bellowing hard times. The bottom has been reached (that's wnat we thought then) and the only way to go Is upward. As Mr. Gumbersnitz so aptly remarked Tuesday while crying on Gene Spainhour's shoul der (they're some kind of cous ins). "To be or not to be? Ah, that's the Question'" And then he rushed madly out upon the street in search of stray cigar butts only to find that other leading citizens of the town had beat him to them. Every cloud has its silver lin | ing. (Weren't we spreading com jfort, though). Just what this I cloud's silver lining is or where it is, we don't know, but it must be I about some place. At any rate, before the trouble came on the bank, people worried about it, fearful that it might happen. Now it has happened and folks at least won't have to worry on that score anymore. NOW BACK .TO 1937 In turning through the Febru ary, 1932, file, we noticed a full page ad headed as follows: "Full Steam Ahead, Damn the Torpe dos." It was an advertisement sponsored by leading stores and business men in an attempt to bol ster morale and check loss of con fidence. The following issue told of the failure of the rairin National Bank, leading some wag to remark that it looked as if one of those torpedoes had hit something. It's interesting to go back through the files of years gone by, especially those years not so far away. And it shows a fellow that events which at the time held nothing but worry and darkness, are soon forgotten as time march es on. Perusual of these files of yes teryear also have a sobering ef fect as we read of the doings of this or that person, alive and filling his niche in life then, but today resting up in Hollywood cemetery, remembered only by his closest friends and relatives and the fading ink of musty news paper files. But why go on? Anyway, it's time to quit for the day. ■ ... CYCLE Mr. Roddham was asigned to the U. S. S. Taylor, to do duty in Panama, Canal Zone. Mrs. Roddam is visiting rela tives at the present.
