1t shows how much more sense
women have than men. 1t brings
down the cost of high living, and
hign stepping too. While it
takes two breeches legs for a
man, a woman can put both feet
in one, and still manage to hobble
along without breaking her neck.
When ] was a boy a man was
selling a contraption to tie horses
feet together and make thempace
whether they wanted to or not.
The prettiest sight | ever saw
was four hobble skirt girls come
pacing down the street hunting a
low place to cross. That same
darn fellow introduced the hob
bic skirt. If 1 knew his name |
would write his obituary, and fix
his place in history as a friend
to the women. Eel PERKINS.

Uncle Eli alks
About the Dim
Hereafter

Uncle Eli takes a shot at the
world and the balance of man
kind. 1t has been my custom for
a good many years to issue a
proclamation from Owl Holler
and region'round about, after the
first Of January, but | am not in
the humor for proclamating,
and will just take a crack at the
the world, the flesh and the
devil" assuming no response
bility for the innocent bystander.
First | want to preach a little
In the past a man had to first get
a divine call and an education and
a church to receive, and author
ize him to go forth and eXpound
the word to a sinful dying
world, but now a layman con
cludes to preach and just5 lights
in, and some of them do hle.
when man winds up a years
work and lays his plans for the
next year. It's we'll en)Iyl to
give some thoufhts to the dim
here after. Waile the th0lghC
may not be pleasant, it Dissent
after the facts in the case. One
reason | don't like to talk about
it is | know 50 little a1)1t it,
but | haven't got any advantage
of you, for you don't either.
Uncle Nose says news is
nifty scarce, bout whar we is
gWine after we leave here but
we is gWine all de same" If
you were going to move into a
new country you would 60 and
see or send some body to spy out
the land, but no weary traveller
ever comes back from the dim
hereafter. So you have to run
on faith: and uncle Nose says,
Faith is something you try to
believe and don't know whether
it's gwineter happen or not. :"
| use to want to pull the curtain
aside and take a look into the
promised land, but have out
grown at that: it would spoil the
novelty of going, One thing is
sure, if you have been a grand
rascal here you wont be no big
Ike over there. You will have
to take along your record-and
if it's a good one, it will come in
mighty handy in a general set
tlement. Don't make a mistake
and turn over to that page where
you cheated the negro out of his
part of the crop or told a lie to
beat your neighbor in a horse
swap. If you do your name will
be Dennis. And if you are a
woman and have practiced ecep-
ton and sold yourself for the
very elect when you were mace
of common gully dirt, yolr name
will be Mrs. Dennis.
Every man ought to take Pr
inventory of himself or herself

OKOONA MISSISSIPPI, Thursday FEBRUARY 1914

the Georgia congressman said:
See where you are at. !" Make
some new resolutions, unless you
have been perfec:. That of
course would excuse you, and
you will be lonesome all by your
self and be not to sure mix with
the gu. side world for they will
lead you astray, for thrre is a
big reward offered by the gov
ernmenl for your sort.
| once knew a man who would
MT make and new resolutions
for fear he wouldn't keep them.
But that was cowardIy way Of
letting the world know that he
was no good, had no confidence
in himself, and not going to try
to do better. You had better 90
down 40 times, trying to keep a
good promise. than admit to the
world that you hav'nt got back
bone enough to try. Let us first
be honest with ourselves, before
we ask other people to trust us.
Now lets shift the scene a little.
1918 has been numbered with
the years that have gone glim-
mering down the aisles of time.
What have we got to show for
it, a good crop, a good price,
plenty of corn, fat horses and
hogs, and no poor kin. A Demo-
cratic President, and a Congress
and Senate, to back him up.
The tariff has been cut down,
tne currency reformed, and the
trusts scared out of their boots.
And we have nothing to fear but
the boil weevil and the hobble
skirt
Not long ago | attended an an
ti-boll weevil convention. Eve
rybody was present, but they boil
weeyiI himself. Uncle Nose said,
he heerd what wos gwine on,
an KEEP out. " Well, the give
him the devil and rubbed it in.
and prophesied evil in his name.
They told what he had done, and
what he was going to do, and
no friendly voice was raised in
his defense. | felt so badly, |
was sorry a boil Weevil had ever
been born. Its better never to
have lived at all, than to try 10
live without friends. After they
had used up the alphabet, in GUS
sing him out, your Uncle Eli was
called on for a few unnecessary
remarks. l told the chairman,
that like the boil weevil, wish
ed | had stayed away, that was
unfortunate in having been born,
with a sympathetic heart, and
an overruling desire to always
help the under dog in the fight.
That was not acquainted with
this little quaGruIe ed, but the fact
was a stranger in a strange land,
