I'm sure most of you read of the good preacher and his wife (Page 1 in the big papers) in Patterson, N. J., who wore their old clothes to church Easter so those who were unable to purchase new outfits for the holidays would feel right at home. It's a good thing I wasn't there, because if old clothes make you feel right at home they'd have signed over the whole church to me. Matter of fact, I can't recall when I have bought new clothes for Easter ? or any at all, to be truthful. Of course, I'm not the sensitive type and feel no pangs whatso ever when sitting next to Harlo Gotrocks in his $200 tailor-made suit, imported llama hide socks, and peasant-chewed buckskin shoes. Nope, nary a pang. I'll even confess that I've worn the same old skipper blue gabar dine suit on Easter for the last five years. And, if the shine in the seat doesn't become too de tracting to those behind me, I'll wear it a couple more. The French cuff shirt X wore this year is a veteran of four year's service and no one, save the wife, knew the collar had been turned more times than a 'tater fritter. I wasn't even uncomfortable knowing the sleeves were on the verge of parting com pany with the cuffs. And my black and white "Easter" shoes 'which do full-time duty during the sum mer monthst have been half soled and vulcanized so many times it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. I did, however, allow myself the luxury of a barber shop shine and the cleaners spotted one of my '54 ties for the occasion. This, of course, meafit foregoing a hair cut, but the spirit-lifting qualities far outweighed hair dropping over the ears. And still I felt like a tax-free million dollars when I went to church. Nope. It wouldn't have done for me to have been at the New Jersey preacher's service. I'd have been so "at home" I might have preached his sermon for him. jpb The recent publicity on the Cowee Ruby Mines has been stirr ing up something more than just mail inquiries. One of the mine owners, the laconic Mr. Carroll Gibson, got a proposal from a good sister in one of the northern states. Mr. Gibson threatened everyone in Cowee Valley that their life was in danger if word of this proposal "gets to Brady." But you lose, brother Carroll, your brave wife (who told me your bark isn't biting) tipped me off. Jpb My spiel on news a couple of weeks back registered with some. "You said you wanted news," Mrs. Mary Etta Keener informed me at her desk in the register of deeds office, "so I'm telling you my baby has a tooth." O. K? so I'll tell 'em: Robbie Keener has a tooth! "And tell 'em my little, Jan. has two." called lawyer Neil Finger from the records vault. O. K., so I'll tell 'em: . Jan Finger has two teeth! News is News. jpt> Dropped in to buy a comb at Lester Henderson's th'e other day. "I break about one a day," I explained to him. "I don't have to worry about anything like that," he laughed, brushing his hand lightly over his balding head. Then went on to relate this story! While unloading some merchan dise in the basement of his store one afternoon, he opened a slight cut on his head. When he got home his daughter surveyed the wound and asked: "Daddy, did you cut your fore head or your head, it's getting hard to tell?" jpb Sheriff J. Harry Thomas is carrying one of the oddest coins. The fellow who gave it to him said it was a half dollar, but none of us had ever seen one like it. Of the same size and weight as a half dollar, it has pictures of George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington on the front and a map of the U. S. on back. The date is 1952. In its entire history, Macon County has had two courthouses. The present structure dates from 1880. TUNE UP TIME For * Garden Tractors * Lawn Mowers and other small equipment.
