Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1911-05-25

gate some cold snowy night, about
10 o'clock after all had gone to bed,
would get up and skin my shins
over a chair and invite you in, tell
you was glad to see you, to take
seat and warm yourself and ask how
was your wife and baby and be
awful sorry you hadn't brought them
along. | would 90 out and take your
horse to the lot and turn one Of mine
out to put him in the barn, and
Gerusha would build fire in the
stove and send me out to the tater
house and to the well and hen / o Use
to get that little spotted roasted, that
we was savin' to kill when our
daughter came home, the sugar all
out so you would have to sweeten
your coffee with sorghum, and get
IeveyythRng t Put away vat half past
eleven, | would be compelled to
talk nice to you while all this was
going on, but after you got of to bed
1 would say that fellow was the
derndest fool every saw, and hoped
he never would come again. That is
when deception is a necessity and
you can't get along without it.
| have to carry a small amount in
stock all the time not because | want
10, but in self defense, so | can keer
up with my neighbor. You cant buy
it. and you can't sell it. but you car
use it, you never get out for it grow
!, as natural as grass.
, It's fine in politics, one-half deceit
one fourth lying and one-Eourth com
mon honesty, and that's all there is t.
t politics; but since | have gotten a
S mixed up in politics, | have taken tn
o one-fourth honesty and given it to til
y other fellow that hasn't got any oppc
S nent. II your sweetheart or you
Il friend deceives you, it hurts badly
e the devil deceives you. you compIi
| ment him for being on to his job. Br
n if you want to get the quntessence
e bitterness, Just deceive yourself, an
.e see how easy it is done. You car
it, make great man out Of fellow, tn
e. has the big head, because he is na
H. ural born fool to start with, and dor
o. know it. We are awiulIy deceived
at ourselves at times. A mans neg
of bors know better than he does hil
I'd self. They measure from an unbias
he standpoint. | am sorry for the tello
to that thinks he is big red one, VIII
he is only pimple, on the North Et
it, corner Of society. He thinks VIII
ey he dies, the world will move migl
SIS slow, but lis like sticking your fling
I'D into the ocean, and pulling it!out aga
he the hole fills up so fast, you don't knt
all that it was ever there. It you want
est be missed when you are. gone, dc
I'VE deceive your vile, your neighbors,
r. $ your friends; but use what you ha
dv on the fellow that's trying to dece
you. While it is like a lawyer
:" necessary eviD it must be used "
on judgement Now lets sum the mai
he up and see where we are at
is little deceit properly handled, at
10 right time, on the right fellow, is
Il Il valuable asset, to take along thro,
'"' life,in fact you cant get along with
she it.
lor Now, Mr.. Editor, when you are c
the ed on to make Sunday Sci
rrv speech, take these thoughts,
80, straighten them out, and get your id
all in row, and elaborate till
IS have made a good talk, on new
two ject. You will get the credit viii
are have furnished the ideas, After
our letter gels to the public, the man
~ manufactures deceit for sale, will h
w y 10 put on double force to supply
me demand. And shall claim ten
OF cent on increased sales--and use
lind money for a campaign fund.
