We always knew that Page was
a
big boy but we wonder how Vic en
larged those lips.
We hear that Barden Winstead
was seen walking around in the rain

has been visiting Danville right much

Till all doubts were routed,
Then it fairly shouted—
Christmas is coming.
You’d better be good, girls and boys,
Or Santa won’t leave you any toys;
He’ll be certain to know if you fail
that test,
So study, study, worry a little, but do
your best.
And oh you teachers, we won’t leave
you out,
In fact, our warning to you we’d like
to shout—
Forget about tests; be human, and
smile,
Or within your abode, Santa won’t
come a mile.

Who is it that Bill Dickens is so

Once the henroost of a Georgia
detective was robbed, so the detective
obtained a fingerprint of the thief,
made an enlarged photograph of it,
and went over to the house of the
thief and accused him of the theft,
showing him at the same time the
photograph. When confronted with
this evidence the thief confessed and
said, “All I wants to know is how
you got dat picture of dem corduroy
pants I was wearing.”
