With the Methodist we must agree
they sprinkle a little on the head.
The Baptist put 'em under the!

N-crw we warvt some candy. John,
what ?ort of candy do you want? I
tike stick candy best.
I earned, my ABC's the hard way ?
on a paddie. I started to school in e
little "10 cent primer. The first ?*ek
in school 1 chewed my little hook up.
fieeord week the dear little teacher
printed my letters on a paddle for
me to learn. 1 broke my paddle over
a boy's head. At recess he took my i
Riirn arxi wouldn't give it back.l
When M'hoo) took up, my paddle I
broke, chewing gum gone, with ano
ther fifjhrv coming up. Miss Becky j
catled me up. 1 explained to her that
T<>d got my gum and I hit him over j
the head. 1 didn't mean to hurt Ted I
or brake the paddle. Miss Becky J
gave rne such a whipping. I didn't |
forget. She stood Ted over in the I
llooi on one.foot. That's one of my
sweetest memories of that liule one
room log hut that Miss Becky beat
me up tin.
Why is it some
doctors tell you J
that tobacco will I
harm your health j
and stunt your chil !
dren's ' growth?!
While other medi- |
cal men put child- j
ren on tobacco? |
Why do some prea- j
chers say if you ]
want to be borned ;
again, you must be stuck under the
water? Here comes along brother so
end so, he says in order to have your
6ins .lilted you must be sprinkled
on the head, else you go to hell.
WelKhen, preachers, what becomes:
' of Dairies just newly born, and so
on? "Sets tobacco is a germ killer.

3 once lived in a litlie .college
town, Jimmie Green lived there 100.
H<- ?rtrw tobacco from rhe ground.
He :oved tobkeeo. He had two old
fruies. (me he called Sinner, the oth
er Christian. They were old and
worn. Jlmmie worked and toiled in
'his tobacco farm. In the fall Jimmie
stayed a* rhe store. We boys from the
school did come to the stoje to watch
Uncie "Jimmie chew. He'd put a bun
c.e in the rack and and chew and
, chew, and swallow all the juice.
When his cud got well worn out he
woukJ swallow it. Like a cow doth I
her cud. Then he'd strolte his old !
[big red. nose and grin. He never j
threw- his tobacco out neither did he |
| sp He Jived just across from the
pos:offi,ce store. The mules were very
s'-oy and poor. We boys met at the
store, from the store to the barn we
j .vent, i?ome baskecs we did find. To
the corn field we did go. The bas- j
kets we did fill with some corn. Back
to the barn we went, and on the ?
hkkit we did print; 'Jimmie feed !
Christian and Siner too. The mules!
went <u> picking up quite soon. Jim
mie still chewed his cud and stroked
h.s old jed nose and swallowed the
goods
I've only told you a few things :
the tobacco man did. Now let me teli j
my audience about another man and j
his muie. My father worked at the
Police job. We had a little farm and ;
a big corn fed mule. My daddy own- j
ed a negro boy named Sid. Old Jack j
Belk gave this negro to my dad. The j
boy worked the corn and met the
traur. every morn at the station and |
j brougnt the incoming students and
| (their luggage to the boarding house,
ax the college, while Pa policed the
Utile town around. One morning
i/Tighx and soon, daddy had orders
to meet the train. Sid went to the :
barn to feed old Huldy, the mule.!
Wnen Sid opened the door out did !
jump the mule and all over the col- .
lege ground did he go. Daddy and 5
isdc after rhe mule take off. Daddy
hollering loud .and straight, at Sid:
?You know negro it was nothing but
hell-damn laziness that you lei the
mule go." Next morning 1 was late
a; the chapel door ai)d missed my
name at the roll call. The boys a
round me did gang and did say: "H.
Y., its only hell-damn laziness that
you were not at roll call." Sid j
never did let old Hldy, the mule, out
any more.' I shall turn this over to
P rot. A. T. Abernathy, Rutherford j
college.
Onoe a very clever Scotchman had
a laife tiiie horse. He was very
strong. I'o keep more money' to j
spenc .rhe old Scotchman feci the i
horse less and less every day. The
horse continued to pull great loads
bu; one day the poor horse collapsed
and died from starvation.
Did any of you good folks ever
read about that old hillbiUy that
found a beautiful girl he loved so
well he gave his dad seveh years to
get her hand, and then got fooled by
me old man. He slipped in her sister
the wrong gal. Then this old hillbil
ly worked seven more years to get
the one he loved. What would you
have done? I'd of beat up my father
in-law, stole the dear Little gal and
left town. I bet that young men was
quite worn out after working four
teen years on the farm just to please |
his daddy-in-law out if men had to
oay more before they get their bri
j des, fewer divorce courts we'd find.
! These marriage contracts are too
? cheap, with so many we find.
It reminds me of so many folks
going to the doctor when there's no
thing* wrong, but if he don't wrap
! you up a scrip and send you to the
drug store and tell you to be care
ful what you eat, you get mad and
won't go back, so he gives you a i
scrip for a pill and a powder, or
gives a shot In the -leg or arm, the
first place be finds. Oh, you soon
feel so much better yyu nw* fo
back and and have k all d4ne over
again. I have heard It ?aid that some
doctors get tired of the same sot
*bd gives a few knock out drops,
but its plain to see, no doctors have
we that would do those things, no
never.
A good paint Job ladies, will con
seal the years but the lines will tell.
A girl and a caT are much alike. It
soon rubs off and they must go
back and have It repainted. Nature
-turns us grtsy?-we better let it stay.
In the book I read grey hairs are hon
orable ? no color back for me. God
made us to be so.
My rose, he said tenderly as he
pressed his unshaven cheek against
her's of soft velvet.
My cactus, said she, reproachfully.
Onoe not very long ago I knew a
rich old man. He had a beautiful
young girt. Oh, she was lovely. Her
name was Mary Ann. One evening
father called Mary Ann. Daughter,
if you will whistle, 1 11 give you that
new car. Father, I can't whistle. Dau
ghter, if you will whistle, I'll give
you the hotel on the hill. Daddy you
know I can't whistle. Mary Ann, if
you will whistle I'll give you a man.
Oh, Daddy, I never did whistle, but
I'll whistle if 1 can. See?
Now you tell one.
In closing the morning session tet
me say ? Ego Amo.
You neve rthought I'd be a poet:
When old Aaron made that
Little Golden Calf,
The Devil stood by the fence
While Aaron swoped the ladies
Bobby Pins and Bracelets,
And other golden things,
Wrist watches and bloomer pins,
From which to make a golden bull,
He'd not of stopped
With just a little bleating calf
If he'd of had more gold,
A full grown buH he would of made
But being sort- short of gold,
He made a little scccmul bull
it made Old Moses mad as heck.
When he saw the children laugh
And dance around
This hand made bull,
Moses said mark me out
Of Thy Book, Oh, Lord.
The Chinese poet, Li Po, was en
titled to free wine in any tavern in
China.
Food is eaten with the fingers in
stead of chopsticks by the Chinese
in a period of mourning.
Customer in barber shops were
once provided with musical enter
tainment.
