rive in our midst again
We make this publick announcement
/ being as we have been asked on the
street several times when Thanksgiving
arrives this year or whether it has got
past and also for the benefit of SIGH of
our readers to who thanksgiving might
, come and go and them be none the
wiser.
1t don't seem no time sinst last
Thanksgiving, does it? Answer-it does
not. My goodness, how time does Tilt
past and the older we git the filter time
fits.
Great preparations is now being
made to give Thanksgiving in our midst
fitting celebraShion Enos McCracken.
WHO lives two miles west of Bingville,
and allus raises turkeys to sell, was in
Blngvllle tother day taking orders for
gobDlers or hens, according to which it
j is perterred. Enos says he amt never
raised as tlne a assortment of turkeys
IN all his born days as he has this year
he says they are as fat as butter and
! can't skarSely waddel they're so plump.
Folks don't take much stock in what
Enos says, however. being as he says the
same thing every year. Last year Enos
give us a turkey for a years back
subsCrlpShion, and we made the bargain
without first seeing the turkey, and when
Enos brung it to the office it was so
gosh-blamed thin and scrawny and poor
that 1t wouldn't cast a shadder in the
sun. 1t looked sick and it seemed a
shame to kill it, but we done so. Our
wife roasted that turkey nine hours in
the oven, and then it was so ALFRED
tough that we cracked our upper set
tryin to bite into a drumstick. That
turkey lasted Us and Our wife two weeks
and by the time it was about ct up in
stews it begin to git tolerable tender.
This year we have arranged to secure
our Thanksgiving turkey elsewhere.
