GOOfY GJMK SAYS I have jest found out that I aint nigh as good as Lootinnant Charles Fomcy Jr, a teLlin iwhen bees is a goin to sv;arm. He tole me to sorta watch an see how soon his bees wood sv/arm ater he ^jlefb to go to the Navy.- He said that he diden want his wife to no hit, but he diden like to be ^>^'ijround when bees was a swar-min, I diden pay much tonshun to him, cause I diden think he coud tell as good as he did v;hen they was a goin .to swarm. But he shore did no what he was talkin about, when he tole me the tuther day that he was a goin to sell out jest be fore his bees iswarmed. Well, he left out Saturday, and you coud mite nigh still hear the Tfhistle a blowin on the train that was a takin him to the Navy, vfhen his bees swarmed. I diden think that he wood run off like that jest to keep from he Ip in to hive them. They aint no body hardly a tall doin as good in the bee bianis as Ole Yates 3Lee. He thot he ad sumpthin on me cause I wemt reportin on his ees a swamin. But, he diden, I knowed they was swarmin but they was a sv/arndn so fast that I -v-W\ • • couden keep up with them. Jest about the time I XA \\ ' vrood git the report made out about his bees a swannsj^ ut^y wood swarm again, an I wood be to late. He aint been in the bee biznes no time hardly atall an he has done an got four swarms, I think a shore way to’ keep up with hjjn is to report nov; that he has got five swarms. Then when they swam, I wont be to L'lte agin. Azzie tole me that if X diden hush tellin things on everbody, that Embody was a* goin to report that I ivas in the horsepital vdth one foot in the grave, Mr, Parker said that if I diden hush talkin about his ball head, thar was a goin to be sum slow walkin and ior; singin over in the woods; an when ever things was over, thar wooden be nothin left but me an a little pile of red dirt. Miss Macy Rollins said that I had done an gone mite nigh to fur when I tole on her fui' usin Color Back. She said she ivood give me one chance to poUygize an tell you all that she dideh use that stuff a tall. She said that if she did, hit wemt none of my biznis if she tuck a bath in hit, Charlie Wease said sum body tole sumptl-iin on him that wernt so, when they tole that he.was a tryin to git together with that lady on the matress. He said that all" he was a tryin to do was to git with her on the price. I shore do wish you all was here now, cause I no whar thar is a watermellon patch up yonder on Fitts Rollins farm, an I am skeei^d to s?/ipe them by myself. Since you' all went off thar aint no body here thats got the narve to sv;ipe watermellons, Vfell, maybe by next year you all will be back, and if Ole Fitts has a patch, v;e shore will da?y clean hit fur him. So till next time yore Olo frind Goofy Gink will jest say - So Long, 4:- 4;- * Sunday Visitor;."I’d like to speak to someone around here with a little authority.
