the mind (if any) of this unwor
thy columnist to criticize or at
tempt to refute the statements of
anyone else, but tnere are two sia-
es to every story.
FOB instance how about tne
times when your desire for grapes
trets the best of you after a big
rain? Those vines can shed water
into your eyes with nearly perfect
aim. And the deaa twigs wmcn
get down your neck and keep you
squirming. And mudholes where
pepole let their pigs wallow under
vines waiting to swallow at least
one foot in mire. And the nig,
juicy grape that turns out to be
sour. And the cluster you scratch
your hands getting to, only to
lose them as you bring the hand
out. And snakes!
OH NO! They can wait and
give me my grapes when they
have been squeezed.
(PHOOEY! He would see the
gloomy side, as if there could be
a gloomy side to Scuppernong
grapes. County Talk.)
TALKING about squeezing fruit
juices, whatever became of the
old cider presses where a person
could catch sweet apple juice in
glasses and drink until an angu
ished stomcah refused to take any
more ?
AND talking about Tummy ach- -es,
whatever became of those lit

pink sugar, whose taste alone was

girl with a very hefty frown was
handing bankbooks to the teller
and getting him told about how
much work she would like to make
him do. The child cast several
disapproving glances at your
would-be writer, just like grown
up girls are prone to do, but held
her silence. She walked over to a'
man repairing a clock in the bank
and berated him for not having it
fixed so she could tell what time
it was, then started back tworads
your correspondent, who was
auakink in his shoes, and told him-
that she understood he was on a

heard her last crack as he took to
his heels, "You are lucky you're

he wouldn't have attended those
