John said he had his' Christmas whisKey left over from last Christmas it soni?? rliriv snake didn't steel it. How much you got John? 1 asked him. Oh, a little . better than a half pint. John, I said Christmas morning you wont have A smell of that joy-water. Oh, yes I wilj?I'm going to water it, A letter from North in Berlin. Ten inches of snow fell Nov. 1. That's a good start on a big winter. Cotton picking is nearly finished ovec this side of town, Soon be Thanksgiving Day. We should be thankful every day in a land like ours. H. Y. Jfr., and wife from your city spent Sunday with. Pa Belk. Betty Self spent Sunday in our home from Cherryvilie. 1 firmly believe our big men who I create wars should be made to go " to war, to see how it tastes. Lets draft them. Oh, they'd sneak out? never be any gusters in this world. The woman shall bruise the serpent's head. Most women are scared to death when they chance to meet a sneak.

Adam didn't take Eve up before the courts. He said a snake was the cause of it all. How old was Eve when she died?oh, par don me, women don't tell their age. The Holy Book says if your neighbor asks you to go one mile go two. If he smite you on one cheek turn the other side and let him strike again. I heard Dewey had a bad cold. I don't wonder at that, I don't reckon he ever had a good one. Now I am told Mr. Harry Truman is off to Florida on a fishing bee. I .was afraid of that. Hen Pig Wallace never did like to fish. He loves to feed the fish with pigs. Hiram, what do you like about Civil Rights? Well," it leads up to social equality. Soinethjng we. have never had in Dixie Southland before. Oh, Hell, Hiram, where do we go k irom nerer P Have you ever gone to bed,hunf>ry? I have but not every night. Twelve million children in (Jermany go to bed hungry every night. Preachers, 1 just don't understand. "Suffer little children to comeunto me and forbit thenvnot for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Not a sparrow falls to earth without your , ail-seelng eye. Those 12 million chil dren "Lay me down to sleep" with no hope for a crust of bread when the morrow dawns. It's pitiful. Let the law catch up with the worst criminals in the country. When they take them in the appear very innocent. You may grill them for hours sometimes days, and they will lie beyond redemption. Finally they break down and come straight with the goods.

It works if the accused holds out and don't coni fess you got the wrong man. I was over town the other day. A drummer got off of the bus, stepped 1 up to me.\"I am a stranger in your , town, can yoU tell me wnere I can I find a hotel?" I said.they got no hotel. They did have one built in 1784 they tore it down to build a picture j show. You might get a room at the I ! hospital. Where's that he asks? Ov-! er in Shelby. I felt like a fool. He looked like a fool, f To my miud the biggest fobl is the J foot that don't know he's a fool and can't be taught he's a fool. Some hope for a fool that can be taught he's a fool.

I don't give a flip for the Third Party Communism or j no other isms that might ism up.} j it's all stuff and bluff without gut's, j ; Do you like cats? Well, I do. We I have a large torn cat just turning into his second year of his life. When he was born we gave him ti|e pet name Tom Dewey', knowing he would become a great cat. He does all kinds of cat tricks. He opens 1 the door but don't stmt it. Gets on the tabje just to show what he can do. He goes out-every night on a rat party. If he catches a. rat he always keeps it for his breakfast. When he first began to sleep with me I thought it was horrible. Never took off his pants or slips, his feet were cojd. After a little while I found Tom warmed the ,bed up. I j i 1 *: J-" ? ^ utrcn uncicu nve uouars ror xom. Tom is not tor sale. So long as Tom behaves himself like a tomcat should behave.. Did you ever have the good luck j to catch th itch? When I entered i school in the country that wps the first thing I remember catching. It was in the little one-room log hut with a big open fire place. Thirty children in the room and it was very hot. Such scratching I have never met. When we all caught it the teacher took the itch. She dismissed school for two weeks 'til she could catch up with her scratching. She first thought she had the measles. It broke out like smallpox. You can kill the itch if you will use sulphur and Lard but they can smell the sulphur a half mile. Then everybody knows you got the itch. Another good cure is poke root. Boil poke root make it good, and strong'and take a bath in it. It's an old remedy and a sure cure if you can stand it. The | best way to handle the Itch when you get it?keep it to keep from catching it. The old darkey preacher was brou ! ght up to court on a charge of fight! ing and it did from the report look like it was all the preacher's fault. But when he was called up to court land took the stand, Judge your, [Honor, I sure did feel justified in ! plugging dat negro over the head, because of the way he lied.
