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,
