"B" SHIFT MACHINE ROOM
By Jack Williams and Charles Tinsley
Everything seems to be under control in "Hog
Town”. Mayor "Footsy” McCrary is now fire
chief. The other Sunday his little boy wouldn’t
go to church unless he could ride in the red fire
truck which is a red pick-up.
Cunningham was under the weather for a
couple of days. We think he would have recup
erated sooner if he had told the nurse just what
was wrong with him.
We couldn’t understand why Bolt didn’t like
to go back into the Beater Room until we found
out his Pa-in-law works back there.
Tinsley is share-cropping with Red Hughey
this year. Who will come out at the big end of
the deal or will there be an end? They say you
have to pass through two clouds to get up to
Hughey’s Plantation.
Wilson and Sinard had a big coon hunt
planned. The morning before they were to go
both of them came in red-eyed, disappointed and
a bit down in the dumps. Sinard’s dog was hit
by a car and killed. He says he is out of the dog
business now. He has tried and failed for three
years, losing a couple hundred dollars invested.
Prayter is still grieving over Whitside’s leav
ing B. Shift. He says he has a good man but just
can’t get over Whiteside not being there. Inci
dentally, he lost Vz lb.
Pete started the month with a bang, getting a
$10 commission on TV sets he helped a friend
sell. Now he may have to sell his own. The other
day he and his 7 year old son were watching a
western when Pete’s wife called them to dinner.
The boy wasn’t in favor of turning the set off
but Pete insisted. When he leaned over some
thing hit him on the head. After shaking off the
stars, moon, etc., he looked around to discover his
son had conked him on the head with the butt end
of a toy six-shooter. They learn fast.
Anyone noticed John Kimzey lately? He’s
driving around in a new Ford and smoking a big
pipe. John put in a bid for a new ten thousand
dollar home but someone out-bid him five bucks.
Ollie V. has bought him a new tract of land
now. He has been taking suggestions from any
one on the clearing up and ditching of it. Saw
him talking it over with Ballard the other day. By
the way, he came in the other day with a strained
back. Says he worked too hard on his day off>
but Poteet says he is just trying to get out of all
these dryer felts to change.
Jack Williams quit smoking about three months
ago and gained five pounds. Now he has started
back. Says it is cheaper to buy cigarettes than
new clothes.
B. Neal and W. Gash are talking big game
hunts over with Banning. What does he know,
boys?
Ralph Teague says we can tell anything on
him that we want to as long as he gets his name
in the news. By the way Ralph hasn’t got any of
Ballard’s deer in his barn yet.
Stewart moved off and left Rice and now says
he lives in the house next to B. Neal. Wonder
which side of Neal’s house he does live on?
S. Mull hasn’t been talking much about his
cattle lately but says he has some nice pigs for
sale. Anyone looking for a pig, go down and see
Mull. We can’t say how much he wants for them
because by the time you read this, his price might
have gone up.
The happy young man above is James Michael
Robinson, five months old son of Mr. and Mrs.
James E. Robinson. His father is employed in the
Machine Room.
