May We Pr esent
We at High Point Weaving fti.u
that we have a contender tor tlic
plant s leaclmg plowman, m tne per
son ot Henry il. smitli, sweeper on tlie
second shitt Tlirow'uig Jjcpaitment.
iienry has plowed some 8> gardens
tins year anci it tliat am t a lot ot sod
to turn over then we am t lieerd
nothm yit. What’s more folks, he s a i
been catm fer some li4 acres Ins n
own.
He calculates what he grows bout i
all lie eats. We spect some ot you oi i
tolks remembers the wreck of the ol
97. Well, it so happens that in his
railroadin years, Henry took oft one
day which liappencd to be the day ol
’97 cracked up. So that ended his rail
roadin days.
We don no where he learned it, but
he has a reputation for bein one of the i
bestest cooks when it conies to fryin ^
fish. Seems as though on those days
that the odor o’ them fish reaches tiie
sniffer of some of his friends in the
mill and thats how come his reputa
tion become so to the front.
He got him 7 yunguns and one of
them is a fighten in tlie Cific.
Henry sez, “Wait’ll ol George Tow-
ery hears about this”.

American Sailor: “Battleship! Why,
the flagship of our Navy is so large
that the captain goes around the deck
in his automobile.”
British Sailor: “You ought to see
our flagship! Have a look at the
kitchen. It’s so large the cook has to
go through the Irish stew in a sub
marine to see if the potatoes are
cooked!”
Girl; That sailor is annoying me.
Cop: Why, he isn’t e\en looking at
you.
Girl; That’s what’s annoying me.
