Cores pondence of The Robesonian
| have noticed one thing for
some time that is enough to make
the healthiest person in America
sick. 1t is this common every
day, and Sunday too, stuff called
deceitfulness. | have seen wo-
men and girls meet each other
like this: How are you, Miss Luz
cy, then a kiss, (which is alright)
| never wanted to see anyone so
bad. | was just crazy to see you.
When did you come? Where is
Mary?Why didn't you bring her?
bless her little time, / am Just
dead to see her. Why didr. t you
come when you promised? And
on they would go till everything
tasted like honey. Then just as
soon as Lucy is gone another
came in and it's the same old tale
to her and then it's like this:I be-
lieve Lucy Smith is always away
from home.I just dread to see
her come, those children of hers
are so bad. l never saw such
kids" that Mary, I'd kill her
if she was mine. She is old enough
to do better. And the woman
had just told Mary's mother that
she was just dead to see the
blessed" little creature. Don't
think | am trying to say any
more about women than men for
a woman is the best thing that
ever crossed the ocean.
Four men started fishing last
week two of whom were so sure
they would get more fish than
the others that they run about a
mile to get to the river first. But
the last heard the ones that run
didn't have a fish and the ones
that didn't run had six nice ones.
