A NEW HOME FOR YOUR DOLLARS As time passes it looks more and more like us and Mr. Johnson are going to have a right nice bank down on the corner. Of course we are not officially connected with the bank, but we take a lot of interest in it because we have taken a lot of interest to it, if you get what we mean. Knowing Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lewellyn as we do, we know that they are going to feel awful proud of that new vault. And once they get into their new quarters it's dollars to doughnuts that both will have their desks placed so they can keep their eye on the vault door at all times. The new bank building, we un derstand, is going to have all modern conveniences—that is, all except the anxious seat. The anx ious seat, in case you don't know, is the seat one sits on while wait ing to see about getting a loan. In looking over the plans for the Expert Repairing Watches, Clocks, Jewelry We Now Have Equipment to Make Any Kind of Duplicate Keys. W. M. Wall, Jeweler Phone 56 EIMn, N. C.

Rexall Factory-To-You SUE Now On At Abernethy's A Good Drug Store Phone 42 , building some weeks ago we re marked to Mr. Johnson that it seemed to us the anxious seat should be deeply upholstered and comfortable, but he said most people who occupy it are so anx ious they wouldn't know the dif ference one way or the other, so they plan to make it hard and slick so people can squirm easy without snagging holes in their trousers. It would be a trifle hard to squirm in a plush covered seat, Mr. Johnson said, due to the fact that plush doesn't lend itself well to squirming. And besides, anyone who can afford to sit on plush has no business squirming anyway. Another suggestion we made was that a soft, comfortable lounge, settee or something be in stalled in the office where one goes to see about a loan so that In case a person actually was grant ed a loan they could faint com fortably. However, we under stand that won't be nedded. But maybe we'd better quit kid ding. Mr. Johnson can say "yes." And we want to tell all and sun dry that when Mr. Johnson says "yes," it sounds sweeter than any symphony you ever heard. How ever, his "no" don't sound so good, it don't. » • • BEANS TO YOU The first annual Bean Banquet of the Elkin Kiwanis club was held at Hotel Elkin last Thurs- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA day evening, following the end-of an attendance contest. According to the rules, the losing side was to have nothing to eat but beans, while the winners dined Bump tiously on steak and sich. And from what we can gather, the losing side had beans—and nothing but beans. There was bean soup, beans a'la' Boston, red kidney beans and bean pudding. And after the dinner, it was sug gested the losing members indulge in a game of bean bags, but this, suggestion didn't meet with very hearty approval. Personally, as one whose diet in the winter time is made" up most ly of pinto beans, and snap beans in the summer, we can't see as the losers had much to kick about, cause chances are they also have a bean diet at home if the truth were known. Fact is, lots of folks would darn near starve to death if it wasn't for beans. • • * WE GO TO HEAVEN We dreamed the other night that we were in Heaven, and con trary to belief, we found worry there too—and a housing short age. We dreamed that no sooner had we arrived than we were issued a spoon, and had to put up a de posit to get it. The very first thing we did was to lose the spoon and our troubles had commenced. We also dreamed that Mrs. Fred McNeely was building three hous es in Heaven. We felt a little hurt when she seemed rather surprised to see us up there. Along toward the end of our dream a couple of other fellows and us were plotting a getaway back to earth, when it dawned on us that if we got shot in the at tempt we'd be dead and have to stay where we were. Then we woke up. • • * THIS AND THAT We hate to say it, but it seems people around here just can't ap preciate real music. Following our trumpet solo at the Lyric the atre the other week, several told us that if it was all the same to us, they'd just as soon we fea ture a hound dog next time by stepping on its tail. There ain't gonna be no next time. Here we go to a lot of trouble, worry and bother to get up something really high class like that solo and then folks go making fun of it. It's just plain ignorance of the higher things in life, that's what it is! And we're very unhappy. MOUNTAIN PARK Rev.

"BANJO ON MY KNEE" COMING BACK AGAIN Due to the popularity of the motion picture "Banjo On My Knee," which has been shown at the Lyric theatre here at two different times, the picture will again be returned here within the near future for the third time, it was announced Monday by Louis Mitchell, manager of the theatre. "Banjo On My Knee" was shown first as a midnight show feature and again several weeks ago on Wednesday as a "family show" special. Huge crowds turned out to see it, but many were unable to get in the theatre. As a result, the picture is to be shown again, the date to be an nounced within the next week.
