On The Square In Murphy bi Phone 837-3115 t Cux i Corner By Bag ley Are You A Column Smeller? I know I haven't been wru ng this junk long enough yet t :o have had every kind of ex- ? >erience that can stem from I such an effort. New ones keep Dropping up pretty often and : they kinda surprise me. Some 1 of them I am just not prepar- i ed for. < I reckon everybody who wrt- : tes anything for publicat ion goes around wondering l whether anyone is gonna read 1 it, especially if you are just < an ameteur scribbler like me. I Then, whether anyone is gonna i like it. You wonder a lot of other things, too ? like how t much longer folks will put up 1 with you. And that is the thing i I am pretty concerned about. So far you all (1 just found ] out that was two words) have I been mighty tolerant of me and i this mess and I want you to i know I appreciate it. Every once in a while some body gets up the nerve to tell me they have enjoyed this or ; that column. And this is mighty stimulating information. I don't mind telling you that it ( just about causes me to have a complete revolution every time 1 hear anything like that. Like not long ago a lady stopped me to tell me ' how much her daughter in New York enjoyed reading this mess (she didn't call it that). Told me her daughter had ex pressed a desire to meet and talk to me. She went on to say her son-in-law was a play wright. Now this son-in-law probably doesn't know his wif is reading stuff like this or he'd put a stop to it. I sure hope he never finds out about it. About this nice lady saying she would like to meet and talk to me. She probably wants to find out if 1 have been telling the truth about all the things I have said about myself in this column, she probably wonders if I am really short, baldheaded, whether 1 have a long sharp nose, beady eyes, double chin, and equipped with spare tire around the middle. 1 11 bet you anything she thinks I have lied about those things just because I might have sorta stretched the truth a time or two in the past. Of course now, this New ( York lady's mama and papa i both know me and looks like both of them could back up what ' I've said about what I look like. But maybe she wants to just see for herself, if she does come out in the country I to meet me I'm good mind to I keep my hat on the whole time I so she can't ever be absolutely I certain about that baldheaded I part. I It just occurred to me why I her mama might have been 1 telling me about what all her I daughter said. Mama was run- I ning for political office. And I you know how a politician will I sometimes do. They will tell I you some of the nicest things I you ever heard of, specially I just before election time. And I I don't mind telling you that I I am powerful vulnerable to I that kind of talk, I don't care I what time it is. But I'd also I like to tell you that I am not I about to let all her persua- I sive charm change my mind | about how I'm gonna vote. No I sir. After all i am a man of I principle, a man who has mighty strong convictions. I With talk like that you'd think I X was running for something, I but I m not. it's just that I I want to impress on everyone I of you that, despite all my I shortcomings, I am not one I who can be swayed or in- I fluenced by any pretty fe- I male politician. No sireell I The issues are what I am I concerned about, andthestand I these politicians take on them. I That s the most important' I thing to me. Now you take the I issue of this column, the stand I she took on that convinced me that I should vote for her just like I was fixing to do anyhow. 1 went in an office the other day to pay my fire insurance. I just happened to think. Where t says "For", in the lower left hand corner of a check, I should write "Fire Insur ?nce" Instead of "Offering" on those checks 1 give to the church. Just as sure as I did when that preacher of mine saw one of them he would come and tell me my policy was about to lapse If I didn't go to paying more on the premium. Anyhow, I went in this office to pay some terrestrial fire insurance. When I handed this lady my check she says, after looking at it, "Are you Cuz?" I admitted It right off on account of I have been cal led a lot worse things and didn't fight. "Tell me," she ?ays, "how do you think up all that stuff in your column?" I explained that, first of all, you had to be a little off upstairs, and after that the rest was easy. "You must be Cm, all right," she said. Then there are those who den't go for this klnda junk a tall. However, and for tunately, very few of these will ever tell me to my face I --occasionally, though, they rill. You know there is al rays a killjoy ? sorta like [liroy used to be. i was having coffee with ;ome cronies not long ago. rhey were talking and laughi ng about a recent column Yeah. I know, 1 thought the iame thing you're thinking: rhey had run slap out of any hing to talk and laugh about) had sworn to 'em on a suck if ash filled cups and saucers hat the column under discus ilon was a true story. Killjoy ipoke up and said he thought he column stunk. Well, hat was his opinion and 1 ?eckon he is entitled to it. I knew we had all sorta peo >le and things in Murphy, but le was the first, and only, :olumn smeller I ever run icross. ? ? m m Deed l roasters Lester and Nettie Chastain :o ianalee Harris, property in *Jotla Township.
