Will Keller tells one on a couple of
Richmond attorneys that is too good to
keep. As the story goes Wilfred Jes-
sup, who used to be in the law bust
ness here with Fred White, had been
invited for the third successive time
to deliver the memorial day address
at the big celebration in Jacksonburg
Wilfred was feeling pretty much stuck
up about it, and had evidently formed
the opinion that the good folk of Jack
sonburg considered him somwhat of
an orator to invite him to their fair
village on three successive occasions.
However, his hard hearted partner in
law was unable to see it in the same
light.
Listen, Wilfred," remarked Mr.
White, lit is not because you are such
a classy orator that those farmers have
invited you down to Jackson3urg again.
The reason is because they haven't
found out yet what you We're trying to
talk about the first time"
