he and ! had met.
I went to see brother John West
today. John had been ail but in id at
the Editor and Mr. Bt.k. John went
> to the office and renewed his paper.
Some one working n the oifice, by
mistake, put the new card in iheu!d
box. John's paper stopped for one
week. There came a type written let
ter,, long and furioUs John.
We regret making the mi>iake. John
Is o. k. now . He says we are the best
bunch ot men he's ever met. Wfe
love you John, too.
Brother bum Gantt handed me
two dollars and said send my paper
without further notice. We did.

It has been said truly by meft of
old", that civilization begins with ihe
plow and ends with the plo\y. We
then mus; agree its the greatest cal
lng men have' ever known. When the
plow stops nations starve. That's
what's wrong with starving Europe
today. Hitler stopped the plow and
millions to starve for bread, the
staple of life. At the time of Christ's
short stay on earth there didn't ap
pear to be any shortage of food. Af
ter the death of Solomon much of
Europe went on starvation. The No
madis people had no love for the
soil. Their flocks, sheep. goat=
camel soon ?
,1
itn vegetation,
? .. me soil wasted away. The des
tinies of all nations have been deter
mined by the way the people have
handled the soil. The ravages of war
on most all the oiher nations is
causing us to feed millions.
I have never been able to under
stand why God had no respect for
Cain's offering to Him. Cain wns a
tiller of the soi-l. Abel was a keener
of s-heep. Yet God had no respect for
Cain's offering. Then I read that
God is no respec.tor of man. All look
alike to Him ? the rich, poor, and
the beggar. I get flabbergasted.

1 once heard of a primitive race
! of people who sheded their teeth
w-hen they began -bothering them,
and they grew a brand new $et. It
sure would be a blessing if we
could grow a bunch of new teeth,
but what would the tooth fixer do?
Go out of business, and let us grow

Do any of you readers of this

Truman's proposed budget would

Talk about ignorance. I met a man
on the bus who lives in the South
Mountains. We were talking about
rhe eiection. He said he didn't vote
because he didn't know who vyas
running, but he heard Truman got
in. I asked him did he know Henry
Pig Killer Wallace. No, 1 never heard
the name. I told him this man Wal
lace came down south one time and
j plowed up every third row of our
| cotton, then took 6 million pigs from
! the pens and drowned them. Where
did he drown so many in the river?
j No, I said he took the whole works
'out on the ocean and let them out.
He said, the damn rascal, if he had
of come to my hog lot, I won. ' have
shot him. He got all excited and ask
ed what did. We do. Nothing 1 said.
Hoover sent him and he took the
pigs for toll. Then he. asked was
that why shirts went up to S4 and
meat to $1 a pound? I said yes in
deed. He .said I've been in Morgan
ton 8 years, just got out before
Christmas. The doctor sent me. They
said I was crazy but I wasn't. I kill
ed a man and got by,' by playing
foolish. It's all over now, I said, By.
