? AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY
Just now reached in the mail box
and pulled out a nice letter from R.
A. Dover near Medina, Tenn. Mr.
?Dover went ouver from near Kings
Mountain to Tennessee to farm. He
tells me that the grass has got his
cotton. So much rain." The river or
the water from the river hacks up
over the grass and cotton too every
other day. He has an acre of cucum
bers ready to sell for 10 cents a
bushel if the damn crows don't get
them first. I will tell more about
Dover and the baby next week.
Once when* Iwaa young 1 moved
around looking for the pretty bird I
didn't find.
1 never could tell why so many
pretty girls jump the broom in (June,
in October we find so many of 'em
in the courtroom getting shut of
what they got in June.
Cpi. Lloyd Self and Betty, his wife,
stopped over in the Valley Sunday to
cheer up the news reported.
Charles Cooke and three other
small birds ran down here the morn
ing school was, Out1. Well, I don't
care. I don't go to school now.
Now, the Fourth of July coming
soon. Let's all fly straight. Let's not
celebrate and wind up with a broke
meek, or maybe dead.
Soon we will
istart out on our
July summer fro- !
lie. It will be wellj
to remember six
or seven hundred
who go out to have
fun and recreation
vili not come back'
like they went a.
way, but will be
brought home in a
box. It always happens. Lets be
more carrful if we go. Itls much bet
ter for you and me to stay at home
and live than to go a way and oomt
back dead in a box but many will
go, but not all will live and get
back. I hope all will bp more care:
ful. ^.ast year's July death toll was
about 700. That's too many neW
made graves. The people who work
'in mills and shops should have a
rest in mid-summer but they should
stop, think, and look. Life at best
is very short. Who wants to be killed
sff on the roads.
Old Pharoah must of been a tough
nut. He had a plan to hold the Chil
dren of Israel in bondage but when
tie got plagued with flies, .lice, frogs
in his bed and dead cattle every
way he looked, then hail stones fell
thunder storms, and locusts ate up
what was left. He changed his plan

You know Russia is chiefly bluff

J Boys, Benjamin Franklin was for'
all the *>?>ople. When he cameout of ?
the hall where ttyey were holding the
Constitutional convention the, peo- <
pie crowded around him and asked. |
"Franklin, what de wo have?" His j
answer was "You have a Republic,!
if you can keep it." The burning
question in the minds of we Ameri
cans will greed let Us keep what
our fore fathers won the hard way?
Then cometh what they call the
'!New Deal." Where W"1 it land our
boat? The paddles are badly worn j
with all this spenwing. What will i
be the final end? j
| You remember in 1888 Grover
Cleveland lost the Presidency de
spite the fact he received more pop;
ular votes than did Harrison. That's
been a long time ago. But the point
I wish to draw out is that men are
still using lies to foo! other men. It ;
is an easy way to get by for a while ,
only. .

most tiresome job in the world said a

Now the post-war boom is fading
so fast It has scarcely no color left J
in it. Now some of our governors ;
are beginning to crop for federal
help. Unemployment is on the boom
40 percent in some states thpy clatm. j
The economic law, like all other 1
laws of life are catching up with '
our postwar wastefulness. We have
had the good things too long for our
own good. We as a nation reap what j
we sow. Not only as a nation but
you and 1 too. I look to see 50 per- 1
cent of the working people out of
work by 1950. Those that still keep j
a job will be only getting half what,
they are receiving now. And all the
Rocking Chair money gone. You >
hope I'm wrong. I do too, but how
could I be bad wrong, Hiram?
Now, promising more than one can S
deliver is the history of the human J
race. It's a trick In the gamble game. I
Not all the good jobs have been !
taken up. Sometimes it looks , like I
they are all gone. So many lawyers, J
doctors, watchmakers, and dry clean
ers. It would be hard to tell which
a way to shoot to miss all of 'em. It
mu3t be a money-maklftg job ? dont

Well, bud, we've been sprayed |
with 9o much of this junk they call
New Deal stuff. Hen Wallace may
be nearly right. He says he's going
to fly straight. Says he's for pe^oe
and prosperity. \ wonder if he got
a chance if he would shove off ano
ther bunch of little pigs into the
creek, or have our cotton mowed
down to make shirts more plentiful,
shorts, too.
Let's read about a gal called
Roosevelt. Don't she teach social e
quality for whites and blacks? She"
got Truman in on that and ljked to
have won a fight with the South
ern Democrats. Now she says she
can't understand why any one would
want to get in politics. Oh, my, for
shouting out loud. Don't this politi
cal stuff .run in the Roosevelt blood?
Yes, mam, Mrs. Roosevelt sured id
help Truman skin the cat and go to
the bat. Left Dewey at the dairy milk
ing a cow. But the Roosevelts have
run their race and made a good
chase. . -

Long ago out West,
I started forth to roam
And journeyed east.
In search of love and t>?iaty ;
I strolled all around.
And at last happily found,
Darling sweetie fcutie Cute.
A shy half breed Indian squaw.
Dark skin and slltn as a reed,
But graceful as a swan.
Her eyes were dark and keen.
From each a love spark,
Of wanton mischief darted.
Short wa^ her hair.
And very kinky too.
One day when 1 could say no morv,
