What Is to come ot us poor, hungry, naked, bareheaded people? It looks like we are doomed. The community chest is empty. The Salvation Army Is thinking of disbanding, Boo-Hoo Hod. The churche members are so destitute they can't pay their own preacher - much 1B00-H00). We had a football game over at Athens, Georgia, the other day (Boo Hoo) betwixt 2 teams by the name of Too-lane and Georgia, but when they got thru, Georgia was ’foo-lame (Boo-Hoo), and we were all so poor, only about 36,000 of us got to attend that game (Boo-Hoo) and the other 10,000 folks had to sit out on the house-tops and gully banks so's they could see them play (Boo-Hoo) as there wasn’t any room in the stadium (Boo-Hoo)— for the water toter to turn around. When will this horrible depres sion end ,(Boo-Hoo). Of course we few folks who attended that foot ball game in Athens spent only about $350,000—which wouldn't buy but 10,000 bales of cotton, or 100, 000 bushels of wheat or 35,000 tons of cottonseed, or feed 35,000 men, women and children a week— (Boo Hoo)—and furthermore, 35 thous and dollars Is a mighty small sum for Southern folks like us to have to make out with—in order to have 2 whole hours of pleasure—(Boo Hoo). j - Our taxes are so high (Boo-Hoo Hooi, after we buy a new car and s, new radio, we simply can't pay 'em (Boo-Hoo). There is so much poverty abroad in the land, a fei | low can’t find a place to'park his [car (Boo-Hoo) if he gets hoid of a few dollars to go to the picture shows with (Boo-Hoo), and after he gets inside, some other old poor dressed-up, stuck-up folks have 'done taken all of the good seats j (Boo-Hoo). r I want my mamma! We have only about $1,250,000 every 10 day; (Boo-Hoo) in our state (Boo-Hoo to spend ’for tobacco and cigarettes, and we want you rich folks to hur ry up with your drives or else we will starve forthwith (Boo-Hoo). Papa, please fetch me a cold cun of water (Boo-Hoo). The down-trod den men and women in our country drank only $750,000 worth of soft i drinks last month (Boo-Hoo), and our chewing gum bill was only $25 - 000.00 (Boo-Hoo). Boo-Hoo-Hoo! I want my gram-; mamma. I can’t stand these hard! times. Won’t somebody please "rite or foam’’ Mr. Hoover and tell him1 to send us some relief at once? II he sends it, tell him to send it in care of the next big football gan.r! and we can fetch It home with u? i (Boo-Hoo). Thai Strange Jones Family. The Joneses who live in ourj neighborhood are the strangest folks we have ever had amongst us They are so different from the aver age family. I simply can't under stand them and I think of them every day and actually worry a bon' them. Mr. Jones has a job in an offic. down town—and he actually walk< to his work every morning, yet he has a nice automobile. Mrs. Jones frequently drives down and fetches him home for dinner—when she can spare the time. It’s a funny thing, but, the Jonese wont buy anything on the install ment plan. But they can get credit at any store in town. Mr. Jones never waits for a bill collector to come to see him: he pays his bills promptly and never kicks about them. Lots of people think the Joneses are very peculiar. They go to church every time there happens to be any kind of services there, and this in cludes prayer-meeting and Sunday school. All of the Joneses do that, not Just the old man and 2 of the girls. | Karl, Dec 8.—Those attending the singing convention at Double Springs Baptist church Sunday aft ernoon were: Misses Francis and Helen Graham, Mr. Austell Ora ham, Mrs. J.
