Correspondence of The Robesonian.
AS the McDonald's writer has
asked me such shocking, witty
and wonderful question, I will,
although scared, try to write
enough to answer that great,
great, most wonderful question.
It looks like anybody with a
bright mind could easily see that
it is as heavy one time as an
other; now, don't it, Lindy?
Wonder if a snake would do such
a task. He ought to send that
question to the President. But
oh, that wonderful song! He
need not think because he shuts
up like a book everybody is go
ing to shut up. l will shut
up when the editor tells me
to. We want him to open long
enough to write another song.
Wonder if he could tell US which
travels at the greatest speed,
heat or cold?
A few questions and answers:
l A family tie-twins.
2 Well handled-pump.
8 After dark chasing negro.
! 4 How to growfat- breed hogs.
5 A trimming stOre-a barber
shop.
6 The worst thing out t-out of
cash.
7 A singular being-a bache-
lor.
8 Cool proceedings-kissing a
lady's snowy brow.
9 How to find a girl Out-call
when she isn't in.
10 A ship that has two mates
and no captain-courtship.
II How to get fat-go to the
butcher shop and purchase it by
the pound.
Messrs. I. V. Britt, J. z
Stone, M .ial Britt and E. +
Stone car d tobacco to Lumber
ton Wed, day and were vel
pleased ' h the prices.
There was an ice cream sup
per at Mr.. Francis Stephens
Saturday night. The writer an,
Mr.. B. NJ. Lawson started of
: with much glee. We starte
through some woods and it wa
dark; we came to a deep ditcl
and Mr.. Lawson crossed over a
! right and l fell in all right; for
saw the ditch and thought
j was the bank and made a jun
and sure enough l was in for
y good time. l got out and got t
the goal after a time-and sue
a time | never saw. Ice crear
= was served in great quantities;i i
was better than falling in tn
ditch.
J Now, next l want to go t
big Foot" and get some tobat
co seed, some of the kind ths
you don't have to cure the tc
bacco in the day; but I sha
change it and cure of a day an
. not of a night. l thought any wis
man like Big Foot" could cato
on, as they say, to what Isaid. Nov
II if big Foot" has got the see

sell at S. a spoonful, | am sur
He must be mistaken and /
raising jimpson weeds and nj
tobacco. Look good and Sc
,u big Foot. Wonder will worn
n eat it. Tell US all about it, "B
re Foot"
IN The farmers want me to cs
IN somebody's attention to a ros
IN not far from here. They say
has grown up very near in VIII
is called cat claw briers. Tht
are bad, sure. I won't say ar
more, as the supervisor gave SUI
9 a blow about the bridges.
We will sing the closing son
There is a man in McDonald's town
n Who talks like some city show clown,
To weigh the moon so far from the
y [grour
But though he got so high from land
q. He may soon come back to the grOur
To jab my ribs it is no shame
For man of great fame
Like the one of Lindy's name;
But probably he'll soon be tame;
Then We'll be on land the same.
He must be Cllite bold,
But he wants me the book to fold;
But guess he is quite old
b AS you have all been told;
! He need not jump right up and scold
K. Before the weather does get cold.
Because he weighed the moon so sool
He surely is no babboon;
If he is bold like coon of Ju
He ought to have told it in the MOI
What a monster to weigh the. moon!
1t looks like he could stay on land,
Bnt though he acts 80 very grand
q He'll soon be back upon land.
! Well, don't know whether
was a boy or a girl, a man
a woman, but it don't make a
difference who it is. / want
L. see him or her when he or s
j goes up again.
