He picked it up and it read in part: "I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, row he said, it is more blessed to give than to re ceive." Act 20:35. So, the Sheriff's raiding party waded into the flooded creek and up on the other bank and there sat the liquor still. Diligence paid off. Bill Quinn Is New Co.

Farmers point out that plants were large enough for transplant ing this same time in 1957 but are not presently much bigger than a dime some not as big. Delay in sowing plant beds be cause of severely cold weather in January and February is respon sible for the delay.

Them fellers need to read the Constitution and set the boun dary line again. I got a hunch that this session of Congress is go ing to be real hoe - down, a clam bake iwith all the dressings. Whenever you got a Republican fer President and a Demoncratic majority in both houses or vise verser you got a situation about like. feller living in the same housewith his two exwives. On top of that situation, this Congress has got New Dealism, Modern republicanism, and Capi talism. And when they git to argu ing cp there in Washington, it's hard fer us folks back home to tell which . is which. I ain't shore I knfow which is which anyhow. 'T' reckon a new dealer and a modem Republican is a feller that has given up all hope of 'becoming a capitalist. They used to say that under" the New Deal, when a fel ler has got two cows the Guvero menit takes'em both and then sells hlfef the 'milk. Under Capitalism, PRICE TEN CENTS began: at 10:00, Ms. J B.

That figures. They always wait till you've scratched the ballot Back in the first days of our nation a Congressman got S6 a day fer his services, provided he was setting in sesionj and doing his job. In 1816 they raised it to $1,500 a, year, but the folks hoi- , lered so loed they put it back to $8 a day. In 1885 they got it up to ' $3,000 a year, and in 186S they' hiked it to $5,000 then in 1873 to $7,500, and Utf MM they raised it to $10,000.
