 STRONG FOR AniSToCRACY

It is a great thing to be aristo- cratic, point your chin to the stars and let your feet look out for them selves.
 Some folks are born aristocratic- others have an aristocratic veneer. but any, way you take it, it's fine doings.
 Dan Webster says an aristocrat is
 q person who posses traits suppos- ca to characterize the nobility" Dan made hit with me when he put in that word Supposed" that le5 the bars down for lot of us who could rot swear that our family lineage went back to Noah's Ark.
 We have lot of different brands ot aristocrats floating around who work over time trying to convince the world that their particular variety IS the only genuine connection.
 One type, now almost extinct. was the droWsy handed folks that thought It crime to work for living. and prlded themselves on the fact that they had never had their hands in dlshwater or tied up boys toe when he stubbed 1t on snag. Another fe male accomplishment of aristocracv was to turn up the nose at the lassie who knew how to cook and keep house or perhaps helped mother keep the wolf from the door at honest toll. / One of the popular male types of arlstocracy was the kind that culti- vated harsh tone of voice and made themselves look like a cake of ice and looked at you with a glassy stare, just as if you had forgotten to take your shoes off before daring to make your business known. It is safe bet when you run into that kind, that their feet are bigger than their brains for real big men are appar- ently always at ease and easily ap- preached
 Then there is the kind that run to poodle dogs instead of children. Don't think 1 have any kick on the dog for l am suspicious of man that don't like dog, but when the dog gets all the hugglng and kissing and the kids arc conspicuous by their absence, l wonder what fun there can be in the world for dogs when we quit raising children.
 l know some sure-to- goodness aris- tocrats-some of them in gingham aprons and others in overdlls. Some of them are behind the plow Some of them are bank presidents and some of them are bod carriers. It don't make any difference what a man does-but it makes an all fired diff ference, how he does 1t as to his claim to true aristocracy.
 Some of them belong to church. and some of them don't, some of them al ways have money and some of them are always broke. But one thing sure none of them have slanderous tongues and never knock on anybody or any just saw wood and get a bushel of fun out of life, that's my kind of folks.
 Buy the kind of q house of farm you can afford to and don't spend all your money trying to make a monkey out of yourself playing a game you cannot afford-that is not aristocracy that's insanity. If you don't know just what you want or where to find it cali on some real estate man who makes a business of locating good in and money When you have land or investments and he will save you time property in town to sell pick a live man that knows the musiness and he will turn your property into money or it's equivalent. Therc are several good firms of reliable real estate men in Pine Bluff ready to give your quick service.
