We know things are
sleepy sometimes down in
La Grange (that's why we
like the place) but have
they gone too far? A big ad
in the current edition of
The Fayette County
Record has Alabama
Coach Bear Bryant telling
people to buy Jim Walter
Homes. Unfortunately
"the winningest coach in
college football" has
passed on to his reward.
But maybe they figure a
dead winning coach is bet-
ter than an alive losing one.

At a discussion of find-
ing good City Council can-
didates to run for the April
2 election, one of our civic
worthies noted he liked a
prospective candidate but
not the man's wife. The
other man who was talking
said he like a potential
female candidate but not her
husband. The solution,
suggested a newcomer to
Bastrop: Derail the
marriages of both the can-
didates and get them going
with each other. To which
we say no election is worth
a happy home.

When the Flagship Hotel
opened in Galveston on
top of a long pier extend-
ing into the Gulf, hotel
owners found they had a
problem with occupants
who wanted to use 'the
balconies for fishing. It
was so far from the hotel to
the water, that heav'y
sinkers had tq be used and
when they were hauled up,
they sometimes smashed
against dining room win-
dows, causing up to $ 1,000
in damage. The hotel
owners found the solution:"
They took away all the car-
ds that had been placed in
hotel rooms saying,
"Positively no fishing
allowed from balconies."
Now, nobody wants to
fish.

Loblolly Lowdown:
Councilman Barbra Tur-
ner Willis bought Nan's
Chuckwagon, across from
the Tower Theater, and
plans to rent it for an office
or business but probably
not another cafe. Chuck-
wagon boss Nan Olsen is
moving to the former
electricity a month and
paying $20. A difference of
only $9! Dorothy Barton
and Margaret Pfeiffer be-
cleafer and errands.
