Still thising and thating up aim
down the old avenue.
Dear Ol«l Advertiser brings out
the happy news that Mary Bell
Turner Gore is so deeply in love
with her old home town that Gore
is resigning his position as super-
intendent of a big high school and
uceepting the principalship of Has
trop Grammar School. This i* a
case where actions speak very
much louder than words. What
thrills rne is that I will have
that sparkling eyed little Mis*
Mary Katherine Gore to l«">k at.
()verheard at class reunion of
one of the not too far back BHS
i'xis:
Virginia Dodnm. "Li-ten, Gang,
I've got a g< od job."
Mary Kvelyn Bryson: "Now
don't look yet, but i'tn about t>.j
hmd a man."
Stinky Hosanky Young: "Poo|
and Humph etc. I've got a man!'!
"Listen to me, you short snorts!
I've got a man and a baby," said
Gladys Kara Meredith
"Well roll over and bark, get
up and beg for it, for 1 have a
position, a good looking man and
TWO babies." qurvthed Shirley
Tarver Edwards.
We had another running fit
last week. Didn't bite anything
but our tongue that we've been
keeping in our cheek too long.
A dear sweet thing histed up
right on the old avenue to blubber
all over a photo of her dear little
angel, and we were just slobber-
ing along with her until we saw
that she hail been out of town
to have the little angel reproduced.
Now we are aware of the fad
that she was boiling our bile
from the first for we blew out
top Did we tell her that we had
two of the best baby picture
taken '.hat existed ami that they
both lived right here, payed their
taies and the preacher with clock-
liki regularity. That they (we'rs
talking about Lewis Wright and
C 0 Creighton) had some wer.
little angels of their own and
that they didnt only take their
pictures. but they had to fe*0
them alio. Therefore, how the so
and so could a g« od photographer
live in Bastrop and raise a family
if all th«- silly msma* jjalivantet.
