She'd think j it was a recipt from a mail order, house. I thought it being so near! Christmas, they wouldn't bo worry- [ ing me with all these bills. It rakes ! time to fold 'em, and burn 'em, but, it makes a good blaze. 1 was just wandering around the other day when I stepped into Mr. Gault's well-filled store. I really was surprised to find everything so spic and span. The good things they had displayed on the counter, really ma, ? kes one Want to buy them knowing i they sell it for less and send It out to your table and all the family re- j Jolces with a happy meai. U* jou want the best quality ears at lowc.n prices call or visit Gault's ih;e| Christmas place to trade and your Christmas will be complete. Thank you. Now as the silent year steals by, what a grahd thought I'm thinking mostly of you and everyone. I've tri ed to help you find a higher way. If you do what I say, not what I do So I when I must flicker off to climes un- ' known to mortal man, everything will be sublime, and the gates on Golden Hinges, will be standing a jar. I picture a city all paved with gold and the lights never grow dim, lit by His Glory where nothing ever grows old. What a grand thought. I wonder why so many fe&r to grow old. Its the least of my thou- > ghts. Our bodies can and may grow r old, but why not let your mind keep active and our bodies will stay young. I've yet to find a man or wo man, who with the facilities God a warded them with, few they are, ev. er grow old. I remember when I was two years j old. We lived In house with a hall way straight through. One day ma was cooking dinner. Pa was plow ing up raters. A maa dog trotted thru the hall tumbling out the back door with a hard fit. While he was fitting ma called pa. Pa came trotting to ?the house. Ma handed pa the 7;shot pistol. Pa stood on the back door steps, the dog shaking with a slob bering fit. Pa let him have it, seven shots, never touched the dak. Pa done shot out all his fire works. He took off to the John Brown's homo John and pa came trotting back with an old musket and an army rife. Look ' f ma was well nigh on the way When John come up within a safe distance. Pa standing behind John. John made the old mad dog give up ihe spounge. He was a tough dog. Pa didn't fancy too much work any how. I had a good daddy. Pa didn't much like to work in the field. The sun got so hot in June and July. Dad lay around in the shade when* he wasn't ra'bblt huntin. Ma learned me to plow the old mule. We only had one plow. They called it a dev-il - digger. Pa had a very good ox. Some times the critter would lay right down in the plow. He was slow, though, when he took one step he didn't know if he'd take another step or not. When Pa saw old Buck sprawled out on the ground, he came down with a chunk of fire and build a blaze right under old Buck's tail. Old- Buck would rise,- look all a round like someone was pestering him and take off. Along about the time the horn tooted at the house old Buck would strike a bee line to the barn. I kept up with him the best I could holding on the handles of the plow stock. After dinner we had a time getting old Buck back to the field. Pa hadto go along and the way he beat that' old bull was a shame to cow creation." If it was hot afbout 2 p. m. old Suck took off to the woods and down he Went. I had to go after Pa to came and get Buck up. I remember one time Pa didn't have ?any fire. He came down where Buck" was all stretched out'. I wondered j how Pa was going to get old Buck up j Pa always had a good idea saVed tip. He out with his knife and split , Buck's tatl. That old cow got up and ! took off. .f 1 re member another time. Me and Pa had some real old country fun. ilMlMMI>ll1llii|?ifc In iiiii i ' ->? GIVE YOUR WATCH ^SEE TStt ?> * REPAIR SERVICE bULOfA oTifVl w? i sw^rsr! Pa had the wild turkeys baited over in the big wild woods. One morning while a light snow was still on the ground Pa came in from rfie barn all excited like something was going to happen. Looking over at me, as he reached up in the rack and pulled down his old musket shooter, said get your firearms and follow me, 1 hear them old turkeys gobbling over where I st rowed the corn. I reached up and brought down my little pole stock shotgun and tracked right after Pa. Soon we reached the place where Pa h'ad spilt the bait. We dropped down behind the hig log. Pa took out his turkey caller and began to yelp. The gobbler coming right on' up gobbling, stopped and went to picking up the grain. Pa looked at me. I looked right back \ at Pa. When I moved my foot rite, old tuf-key spread out his wings and J flew off. I took off after the turkey. ; Pa stood straight up in the snow, j and said the devil you can't run that , turkey down and him a-f lying. We! had on a pot of water ready to take' the feathers off the turkey. Ma said to Pa, where's the turkey? Did you miss him? Pa didn't sa> a word, just put his old musket- back in the rack and sot down by the fire and took H fresh chew of that old homespun tobacco. Ma sure did scold Pa. I was so excited. Ma said looking straight at Pa, as he spit in the log fire, you know not a 'bite of meat on the place. I don't remember .what we' had for dinner. Ma kept on scolding ' Pa. That night it snowed all night ' That was in the winter of 18&6, when ' It snowed just to be doing some thing. When I meet you on the street and you don't speak I just take it for granted you got the limber neck or just hant got no learning. Don't be [ tongue- tied. You was borned just like any other brat. When the curtains of night are penned back by the stars and beau tiful moon leeps the sky, it fe then my thoughts wander back to you if I'm not asleep. Then I have fright ful dreams of you, 'but alas when I awake I soon forget 1 dreamed of you. It's strange we dream. Perhaps .it is because wc eat fish for supper. I never walk in my sleep, don't have time. I don't talk in my sleep, ev eryone would know all my secrets. You got to be very careful along that line. I heard tell of folks snoring in their sleep. I never bothered any body with that old ugly sound If you will remember to keep your mouth closed up tight, you won't bother other folks with that horri ble music. We spend over half of our time in bed. 1 try to get to bed after supper and get up before breakfast If I wake4n time. It would be so much better if ail could be served breakfast in bed. Well then it would be hard on the cook, but she'd soon get used ro it. I mean a good cook would. Then she could do the dishes later. Always a better way to do things if we would learn some o-' these new fads. Washing dishes is as old as Adam. If we would use pa per platefe, look what It would save the housewife, but she don't have much to do if she don't smoke. ? I was speaking about Pa a while ago. Pa was a good man. He loved his ch irch. Always on Sunday morn ing Ma got us all ready for church. Pa took off for the little church. We children filled in behind Pa all keeping step right along behind Pa. Ma, she'd do the dishes and be right on hand when the singing started. That night we went back to finish the program. Lots of time they got up a lot of shouting. I'd be sleeping so good, first get to nodding. One time I nodded once too many, I fell off of the bench. They kept shouting right on like nothing had happened. When church was over I found my self sprawled out ori the floor. Pa made me wonder why I went to sleep while everyone was shouting. It had a soothing effect on me. What a grand thought. I'm thinking of Pa and Ma down at Fort Mills are sleeping the long last sleep that God only can awaken. God is busy making crftwns for His precious chil dren. One day the Heavens will break forth and w<? shall see His glorified people. We shall not sleep forever. There will be glorious dawn at His Coming.
