I carry in on n.,w.
Fannie got so. wrapped up in ad
them women exhibits she seen at
the County Fair 'til she decided
for the first time in her HO odd
years that she was gonna try hei
hand at sortie. Now, Fannie ain’t
like most women for she don't
hardly ever change her mind. I
tell her she’s hard-headed but rt
don't seem to do no good 'cause
when she sets her mind to do a
thing, she's gonna come dang nigh
dmn it ever time. Well, she said,
"Walt, I aim to put some things
in the State Fair down at Raleigh
this year and you're gonna earn
me dow n there "
I didn’t say anything right at
the time hopin maybe she'd fer
git about it but I guess I was hop
in for too much Course 1 was
glad for her to do it and I'm glad
1 11 be gittin down to the State
Fair, but Fannie's trying to over
do herself which I knowed she
would. I w ant her to be able to go
along too for neither one of us
have ever been to the State Fair
Fannie had made her mind up
to put something in at the Fair
bcfoic she even found out how
to go about it I don’t know who
told her what to do but the first
think I knowed we got a catalog
and a exhibit entry blank which
Fannie said she'd have to fill out.
She'd already decided on what
she was gonna put in 'fore the
catalog come but I think she
changed her mind oil one 01 twe
things after she looked it over
Anyhow she's I'ixin seuppernme
