1 met our brother John West up
on the great Western erpni. John
a^ked me if I had done my Christmas
shopping? 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

Self spent Sunday in our home from

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. They are more apt to bruise

Some of it was the

^M|Then they go up to
the courts and untie
the knot and do
again, while the
Devns jn nen hiss. 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

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. They seem to want

to get it off their chest. 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. The fool hath said in his
ucan mere is np uoo. tie s too oig a

Many of the younger generation
would turn out better of they turn-1
ed in earlier in the evening.
I don't belong to any party nor j
1 any creed. I'm an independent as a j
hog on ice. It takes a string of words j
i to write a column. All I ask is just |
. stay off my toes. 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

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
