The Porter home at the foot of Town Hill. The view from the old Dr. S. H. Lyle place, across Jones' pas ture, toward that big bald spot on the mountain somebody told me was called "Teague's Mea dow." The courthouse, as fine look ing a building ? architecturally ?as Independence Hall in Phil adelphia. The funny-weather days when the mountains poke their hunched backs through the i mist, giving the appearance that 1 they are thousands of feet higher than they really are. i The checker game in front of ; Pendergrass' store. ? OLD BIRD DOG Wilson spoke his mind on the National Guard the other day. Shortly there- 1 after, we were treated to the asinine spectactle of state leg- ! islatures demanding his apolo-'! gies. Then, Ike took a' cut at Wilson at the President's press conference. It was obvious from what she said that Mrs. Wilson had been holding her patience. But when j Ike rebuked her husband it was too much. She stood up for Old Charles and fought for him. Makes you feel good to see a woman standing by her man, 1 even in the face of all the na tional criticism which has come Wilson's way. hold the contract for fixing the Town Clock (they live in Franklin), pie ix it. BECAUSE family had i once tried to register a dog and I been turned down when the : canine society discovered some one else already had chosen the I name, Nancy Siler wanted to be sure about her new cocker pup.

WHILE CLEARING some land, Don B. Smith decided to take some of the limbs and make canes. When he had finished he had eight different varieties of wood ? sour wood, wild cher ry, white oak, mountain oak, black gum, cedar, pine, and hickory. One cane is so gnarled, according to Mrs. Smith, it gives you a touch of rheuma tism just to look at it. ? MACON VETERANS who've been hoping to get a GI loan for homebuilding haven't had any luck recently at the Bank of Franklin. The OI loans are good for only four and a half per cent, while the bank says the money market today calls for six. Congress has been urged by a grchip of homebuilders to up the rate from four and a half to five per cent. , If it doesn't, "GI loans will become a thing of the past," a spokesman told the Congressmen. FHA rates re cently went up to five, so per haps there's hope for the same on the GI. ? RIDING THROUGH Missis sippi one day, W. E. (Gene) Baldwin came across a flock of geese in a cotton patch. The patch was waist high, he said, not a piece of Bermuda or Johnson grass in it. It was an experiment station project and next to it was an un-geesed patch, with the cot ton plants choked by weeds and unhealthy In appearance. That reminded me ot the way ' my Grandmother Nelll used to get me to cut weeds In her yard during World War n. She told me they were German weeds. I never was happy until the last one had been pulled out. ? A FELLOW walked into the U. 8. Internal Revenue office In the post office and asked Jack Powell for some income tax blanks. "Who you going to get to fill these out for you?" Jack asked him. "Lake Shope," the man repli ed. "I thought Lake was In the hospital." "Oh, he Is," the man said, "but, T'm <?oing to take the form-! to him." ? ?MANicrwifiT (to playboy, in ARE WITH GOVERNOR ?
