Are you a depositor in the Vass bank? Put your shoulder to the wheel and push. Lots of improvements are to be made in Vass in the spring. Go West, young man, and grow wine grapes for the country. The Pilot is about to get out of its swad dling clothes. Watch for its new suit. Personally, we don’t think dimplet knees are at all cute when they are more than three ye^rs old. If skirts become much shorter the man ufacturers will have to stop making silk stockings with lisle tops. It would certainly be nice for Europe if home rule in Ireland was as popular as home brew in this counry. Some fellows forget their manners when parting with money, but they’re usually pretty polite when collecting a profit. There are mighty few men in Vass but who would rather be hung than have their old love letters printed in a newspaper. We overheard one Vass citizen say yes terday that his children have the “gal loping consumption.” They just eat and run. It has about gotten around to the point where some Vass men never smile until they almost run over you with their auto mobile. It has been our observation that the married man who boasts loudest that he is “free to do as he pleases” generally doesn’t. While we are sending food to the starv ing Armenians why not ship them all the parsnips we’ve got left over here and won’t eat. The first new cabbage, direct from Flor ida, was on sale here last week at J. A. Keith’s store. They were of an excellent quality. Vass women may not know enough to discuss politics, but you don’t find ’em rol ling a peanut along the street to pay an election bet. Those who used to gather at the livery stable now gather at the garage—and there hasn’t been much improvement in the odor, either. A Kentucky man who sold his daughter for ten cents a pound probably had to raise capital to replenish his supply of moonshine. When a man makes a fool of himself over a woman in public, the chances are ten to one that it isn’t his wife or his sister. We agree with the Vass man who said the other day that he’d hate to own ^ whole orchard if every tree was as expen sive as a Christmas tree. When one observes the modern movie girl astride a horse with a gun in each hand, it is hard to believe that the sex was ever addicted to vapors. People who scold about the price of bread make no complaint when required to pay an extra cent for stomach wash at the soda fountain. Prohibition Conunissioner Kramer says some church people wink at the dry law. Quite right. We know some with well stocked cellars who even laugh at it. A New York man took one drink on New Year’s Day and then turned in a fire alarm. No doubt a lot of the stuff being sold call for just such drastic treatment. The reason a woman always wants to dress well is because she thinks she must live up to the lies she has told about her husband making a thousand dollars a minute. Once the word “daddy” meant a male parent, but now it means any old sucker in his second childhood who will pay the bills for the privilege of associating with a powdered chicken. From the vast number of youthful train bandits now operating we’re inclined to believe there hasn’t been enough of the old-fashioned back-to-the-woodshed move ment in this country. On Friday evening, January 28th, the teachers and pupils will hold a box party in the White Hill School House to which everybody is invited. Go and help make it a success, as it is for a worthy cause. When a Vass man runs across a few of the old love letters he wrote before he got her can easily understand as he reads them why some people believe man sprang from monkeys. Personally, the Pilot man would not ob ject to those short skirts so much if the girls would exercise greater care not to of fend our mathematical eye by trying to attain a more exacting perpendicularity in the arrangements of those stocking seams in the back. Cameron News Some time ago, I mentioned writ ing a reminiscent letetr about the vicinity of Vass, in the earluy six ties, I thought decide (al ways with the permission of the editor) I shall have recurence to Cousin “Lish,” and will not take the liberty to introduce to those who never saw him, and recall to mem ory those who did. E. A. McKeithen when a boy, inherited the Daniel McKeithen homestead, and on reach ing manhood, sold it to the late Dr. J. A. Leslie. After sowing his wild oats, with other young bloods of his generation, he went to Georgia, worked at turpentine, read medicine during his spare hours and after wards to Atlanta when he graduat ed from the Atlanta Medicine col lege and at the time of his death in 1897, was a practicing physician at Hoboken, Ga. The Hoboken Journal published the following: “Tribute to Dr. McKeithen. In memory of Dr. E. A. McKeithen, w€, the friends of the deceased are pained to announce the sad death of Dr. McKeithen which occurred at Hoboken, Ga., October 19th, 1897. His sad end was not unexpected, as he had been a sufferer since June, and was almost entirely confined to his room from then until the Heavenly father saw fit to relieve him from his sufferings. He came to Hoboken from Naylor the sum-! iner of ’96 for the practice of medi cine, and during his short stay among us, he accumulated scores of friends and built for himself a large practice. In this our sad r«peration from him, we lose a goo4 man, and a fine physician. He. leaves a lov ing wife who were tried night or day to be by his bedside, and one loving little girl ten years of age. May the loving and allwise Father, guide, protect and watch over them [Continued on page seven] ON THE JOB to repair your car, no matter how badly damaged. Also Oils, Gas, Greases and Accessories.
