Then there was Jesse Gifford of
the Shadowland community buying
himself a new watch Saturday be-
cause his old one had gone out of
business. He had his timekeeper
lariated out in his watch pocket with
a shoe string. One morning (it must
have been nearly noon) when he
was pushed with work he yanked it
out so quickly that the crystal flew
off and the little woodchopper in-
side went on a strike . . The little
chopper probably hadn’t been wat-

And one of the things he can’t
understand is how he managed to
put in a half-day of plowing last
Saturday without turning a furrow.
This column refers to Donald West-
brook, who was so wrapped up in
loping his tractor down the cotton
rows that he didn’t discover until
away up in the morning that one
of his plows was lost.

Robert Mitchell of the Lone Oak
community, approached this column
Saturday night, looked him over
lengthly and otherwise and said
sadly, “Nope, you’re just too much.”
This column looked down upon Rob-
ert’s unhaloed head seventeen in-
ches below and demanded what he
meant by “too much.” So Robert
explained that he had a cooler of
ice cream, spiked with bananas,
waiting for him at home and he
couldn’t get his car out because
some *&!!! had parked right be-
hind him and gone off only the Lord
knew where to return only the Lord
knew when. This column appeals
to everyone to be more careful in
parking automobiles on Main street.
The next fellow may not be so con-
siderate as Mr. Mitchell, and the
next fellow approached may be you.
This paragraph is about a chick-
en that, curiously enough, seems to
have tried to claim kinship with a
preacher and a gin manager. It
appears the chicken rode the top
of Mrs. Ruby Lee Hobbs’ automo-
bile to the Lowell Read home and
there, by some strange chicken-
nery, managed to get inside the car
and was returned home by Mr.
Read and the Rev. Carter McKemy.
