I’ve really been in a mess here late
ly tiyin to git my work in shape so
off to the hospital for a few
days. I ain’t never spent a day in the
hospital in my life, but looks like
I’jp gonna have to give up and go
tkite,- Ainip.- . I been ,puttin it off fer
qulti'a spell, but the doc tells me I
gotta go and they ain’t no gittin
around- it.
Fannie’s been tellin me to go ahead
and--quit worryin ’cause she’d take
care of things while 1 was gone. But
knowin Fannie like I do, I’m afraid
to take that chance. Besides, she
ain’t able to do much herself and I
don’t want us both windin up in the
hospital, specially at the same time.
Seems like ever time I git to where
I can see the light of day, somethin
always turns up to darken things. I
went down to feed old Janie this morn
ing, and bless pat she’d rolled over on
three of her p : gs sometime durin the
night and squshed them to death.
That’s the first time she’d ever done
that too. I started to put me up some
gard rails ’fore this last litter come,
but I didn’t git it done. Bet I’ll
have ’em up before she fetches another
bunch.
I did th’nk I’d git my sow n done
’fore I had to go off to the hospital
but drat if it don’t look like I ain’t
gonna be able to. That’s what a fel
ler gits into when he don’t have the
things to do with. I been count'n on
Luke Nowell to fix my land for me
ever year for the past six or eight,
but I feel like he’s let me clown this
time. I know he had trouble with his
tractor and the weather’s been against
him part of the time, but I think Luke
jest took a little more time off for
Christmas than they was any use of
him takin. I told him last week if he
weren’t gonna be able to cut my land
for me, I w'sh he’d tell me so I could
git somebody else to do it. He prom
ised faithfully that he’d do it jest as
soon as the land got dry enough. We
had another right heavy rain on Sun
day though, so they ain’t on tellin
when it’ll be dry enough now.
Fannie’s still on me to go ahead and
sell our little bit of cotton. She
claims we ain’t gonna be able to pay
my hospital bill, fertilizer bill and
take care of other expenses if we don’t
sell somethin. Maybe I’m gittin sorta
hard headed myself, but I told her
that I weren’t gonna sell it fer awhile
yit no matter what she or anybody

I Be Sure And List Your Property
*, . I
In January I
else said. I still believe the stuff’ll
go up and if it does I aim to git the
benefit of it if my creditors will let
me. I ain’t got but a little bit nohow,
so I couldn’t lose much even if it didn’t
go up. I ain’t never lost nothing by
holdin on to it before and not sellin
it right after I git it ginned so I
figger it’s worth a gamble to try
again.
I asked the doc last week how long
he figgers I’d be out of commission
when he got done a cuttin on me. You
know how they are, they won’t tell
you anything that’s for sure. So I
don’t know much more than I did be
fore I asked him. He did tell me that
I’d jest as well make my plans to sorta
lay around for about six weeks. That
means about two weeks in the hospital
and about four weeks around the
house when I git home. I don’t mind
the rest so much —I’m jest wonderin if
me and Fannie is gonna be able to be
so close, around each other fer that
long. She’s a mighty good sort of
woman and she’S' always took good
care of me few times I’ve been puny
but she’s liable to git on one of her
naggin spells and we might come to
words. When a feller’s sick, he don’t
need no naggin woman around him.
Records Fall At 1952
Hog Shows And Sales
Records were broken in 19-52 for
- hog shows and sales in North '
Carolina when the grand champion hog
at Smithfield sold for $1.97% per
pound, accord'ng to Jack Kelley, in
charge of animal husbandry for the
State College Extension Service.
This was the highest price ever paid
for a grand champion hog in a North
Carolina hog show and sale.
From the standpoint of entrees and
the total number of sales, another
