LEANING
By JOHN H. GOOLSBY
Again, as always before, the
great artist has come in the sil
ence of the night and painted our
lowlands and mountains with his
magicy brush the most beautiful
colors that man ever beheld, and
with the colors blended in such a
manner that no genius with the
greatest of skill could duplicate
it. Here is something—don’t re
member where or when I heard
it or read it, and I don’t even
know if it’s correct but it cer
tainly will fit this time of year.
A haze on the horizon—the in
finite tender sky,
The ripe rich color of corn
fields.
And the wild geese flying high.
And all over the upland and
lowland,
The song of the Golden Rod,
Some call it autumn
Some call it God.
A friend was telling me the
other day this story of facts.—“A
few weeks ago while looking for
an apartment, he found one, and
after looking it over, was quite
satisfied with it.. “All right,” said
the landlord. “I will read the
lease to you and you can sign it,
move in at once.” As he read on,
my friend could see that the do’s
and don’t’s were too heavy for
him to carry out, so this was his
answer,” No, “he said. “As bad
as I need a house, I am afraid we
will not be able to sign a lease.
I can hardly keep the ten Com
mandments for a three-room
apartment?”
Now, let us be serious for a
moment. Stop and try to decide
the greatest and most worthy ob
ject of life—getting money we
can’t take away with us or giving
happiness to others, which will
stay until the last moment of our
lives? This no one can steal from
you, think this over!
I will close with this thought
in mind. If you want to “hit it
off’ with other people, stop “hit
ting out” at them.
Just an afterthought—^you know,
I met Vess Owens the other day
and as always he stopped to talk
to me and tell me about the won
derful people at Ecusta,. but this
time he told me of the wonder
ful picnic that the colored folks
had and how nice they were car
ed for. He told me that it was the
greatest joy ever to see Mr. Ben
nett teaching the little colored
children to play bingo. Each per
son attending had all the turkey
they could possibly eat—with all
the trimmings. Vess and all his
folks wanted me to thank Mr.
Straus, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Evers-
man and Mr. Casterton for making
the party possible. He told me
that he and his people consider
ed themselves fortunate to be a
part of such a place as Ecusta.
When I talked to John Evers-
man about the picnic later he
said “did Vess tell you about their
singing?” and when I answered
“no”, he told me that after the
bingo game was over he asked
them to sing and that for about an
hour they sang spirituals—he said
“I wish you could have been there
to hear them, John, it was one
of the finest things I’ve ever list
ened to.”
REWARD FOR CURIOSITY
“Son,” said the father to his
16-year-old, “I don’t want you to
ever go to the burlesque show.”
“Why not. Dad?”
“Because you’ll see something
you shouldn’t see.”
Naturally, curiosity led the boy
to the show, where he saw some
thing he shouldn’t have seen—his
father.

We still miss Josephine, we miss
her more each day.
We are almost sorry that Robert
took her away.
But since she’s happy as can be,
We are glad she is living with her
husband in Tennessee.
I shall welcome Margaret McCor
mick who
Came from Inspection to join
our crew.
She likes the work; we hope she
will like the people too!
Margaret has just had an appen
dix operation;
But is now able to go most any
where.
She is very glad she is no longer
under doctor’s care.
Jack Sewell, one of the best friends
we ever had,
Is leaving our group—going in
to the
Insurance business with his Dad.
Lillie’s step-son, Robert, was never
happier in his life,
He has recently taken Neva Page
to be his wife.
Dr. Ray will not be around for a
while.
He left last week with a cheery
smile.
Thinking two weeks vacation in
his home town
Would be worthwile.
On October eleventh, Mr. Van-
nah celebrated his birthday,
I hope he has many more as hap
py days.
