Cecil Horton, better known as
Bum," walks among his fellows
with superior air, and Oscar Hol-
ley, his wife's father, has his big
mouth stretched most of the time in
a broad grin Bum is "pap'
now, and Oscar "grand-pap, each
for the first time. And so, at the
present rate of increase, the colored
population as well as the white,
will not likely become extinct for
many centuries ience.
