The train slid into the station Sun- i
y with steam hissing sparks flying,
ivers clanking and the firemen with
, head so far out of the window he
most knocked his brains out on the

Two c- iv.pty milk and three
uks of mail came tumbling out here

s been down to meet it all his life,
to see who gets off and who gets
?and looks forward to its coming
?said. "Lord amercy. this is the

10 years". Folks climbed on and
Iks climbed off?the conductor, a

Blowing for the Andrews crossing
vondcred if as many people pot a
k out of hearing: a train whistle as
:o. My mansion will have an ocean
one side ar.d train tracks and
tun tains on the other three. I once
?t an old Negro who swore he knew
* original Casey Jones and that
tat endeared Casey to the colored
pthern was that he could blow
Fearer My God To Thee" on his
Iden whistle. And the Negro wasn't
^religious in his statement either,
i honestly heard that when Casey
is in all probability, tooting a cow
f the tracks.
Immediately 1 thought of that old
ok that used to sell at all railroad
ws-stands called, "Through Arkans
On a Slow Train". It was no
asterpiecc by a long shot, but it was
ighty readable. It was the clean
igination ol' those salesmen?farm's
daughter stories. One account
as of a man who became so thorlphly
disgusted with the train to
ake any semblance of speed, that
' decided to commit suicide by getrig
off the train, running down the
acks and laying his head across the
.ils.
He died of starvation before the
ain ever got to him. (P. S. If anyidy
has a copy left, how about loang
it to me so I can road it for the
nth time).
Coming out of the reverie 1 notice
>hn Posey, Jr., knows all about atnding
to the baby?and that Scotty

uld have easily gotten by on one j

A little farther down I spot Sam

ain could get by them they must,
ive been racing in reverse, where- \
>on Bill won.
Stopping to take on water reminds I
e that I once saw a railroad water |
nk in South Georgia burn down, be!vc

gineer beats those wheels with his
mmer while the train is stopped
mid make a happy "Tap O' The

>rk that one in some place if I lasted
ig enough).
Back at Murphy I transfer to the
us that meets all trains'* for a free

a certain guy I know real well
ouldn't nave as much hair on his

NEW FEATURED ...
(Continued from front page)
most unusual set of artistic personalities,
internalionalllv known. Some
of them have drawn for national
magazines, and have had work published
abroad. Each one of them is
a distinct personality. Each one of
them has stored up, through personal
experience, the data out of which car.
toons are made. Perhaps in these
comic pages, the characters drawn
are caricatures of their creators. But
of course, no one knows.
Let's see who's who in this Comic
Section!
First?You can well picture Al
Carreno, the creator of Ted Srong.
astride a mount, riding full wind out
into the prairie. Carreno was born
on the side of the Kin Grande, and
has lived a large portion o** his still
youthful life with the cowboys and
ranchers. Of course, Carreno did
other things besides chasing cattle. He
was a cartoonist on the staff of the
Chicago Daily News, and other newspapers.
Professionally and artistically,
his Ted Strong cartoon "is the
stuff". It is real, thrilling, and authentic.
Carreno rides a horse,
knows how to use a six-shooter, and
can speak the lingo of the cowboy.
He's seen rebels shot, revolutions in
(he making, and is familiar with the
characters he draws. Yes, he's going
back to the plains?and has a spot
all picked out for a model ranch!

Ann Sothern, and
"WALKIl
boy used to draw the funniest pic- ^
tores on the brown paper used in
wrapping up packages. His name is
Ron Herricki and he draws that whim|
sical page of comics JERRY 'N JIM,
i a funny pair of young blackbirds. He
1 flavors his characters with the fine
j New England humor which grows up
i there along with Presidents. He got
| his inspiration for the two blackbirds
cartoon while he was fishing. In his off-moments,
he makes toys. But he m
prefers fishing. It pays him better.
Third?Eighteen years of Montana
and Wyoming horse-wrangling and
< bronco busting may have done something
to Jack A. Warren, who created
that funny outfit of a man-end-ahorse
called "Loco Luke". Of course,
cartooning for the Des Moines Register,
the Louisville Tribune, and several
other old-timers, down to the New
York Sun may have done something
else to Warren. Be that as it may,
there seems to be no doubt that cow- ^
boy Luke of the comic page is entirely
"loco". Being a real cowboy born
and bred in the saddle, Warren knows
horses and men?particularly theii
funny tricks, and enjoys drawing just
that. He's rigged up the darndest
Boy Scout troop in the whole country.
They are experts in WTestern lore,
have a cowboy string band, and have
a whooping good time under the di(rection
of cowboy Warren, who
knows his Western stuff.
Fourth?An educational feature of
historical importance will appeal to
both young and old. Augustus J.
Robinson creator of Decks Awash,
the panorama of American Naval
heroes, is a former Naval officer, distinguished
artist and historian of national
reputaton. This excellent comic
puge brings back to mc .iory the high
lights of American history enacted
on tne high seas from the hitth of our
country to t!i> pre-sent day. Advenl
ic ? thrill-: ? courage and many
unknown facts in American Naval
history pack this series to the complete
satisfaction of all patriotis citizens.
Schools will find this an excellent
medium to interest pupils in their
hstory lessors leaving an everlasting
remembrance Lh rough beautifully
drawn pictures.
Of course it's exciting: news to have
in your own community newspaper?
a special and exclusive comic section
, and magazine section as you've never
seen before. Knjoy from the beginning
the unusual and thrilling stories
i told in beautifully drawn pages for
readers jus^ like you in our issue of
