Riming Where / Came From

Riming Where Came From
In the East among the Blue Ridge,
Where the restless east winds roar
In the trees, and far below me
Flows the whispering Shenandoah;
Where the niggers used to swelter
In the fields Of golden corn
But it's winter now; the niggers
And the waving green are gone.
Yet it's there / like to wander,
And stretch aloft my arm,
And l fling my rimes together
When the evening sky is calm
There the critics do not critter,
And as sure as you are born,
You may choose your rimes at random
From the evening till the dawn.
Oh, the pesky, pesky critics
All they ever think of doing
Is to call my rimes provincial
And to drive me to my ruin
And. oh, how I love to gallop
In the Valley with Anitai
AS she waves her little gauntlet
And hasten out to meet her.
But alas too soon she'll leave me. :.
Fare the we'll. our morning canteri
For Anita goes to school again
In far away Atlanta.

Prices Of most things are lower, but
they are as high as possible, as they
always are. One of the principles of
business is to get the highest possible
price, which is, in a universe that has
other flaws, all right. The wrong thing
is the hypocrisy of the sellers who pre-
tend to lower prices because Of altruism.

There were six of them, these war riors of the Crow or Absaroke nation, who rode with Custer on his last. march down the Little Big Horn river in Montana that day in June, lSio' When the leader of the Seventh caVai- " asked General Terry for his pest Crow scouts in the camp on the Llttie Rosebud creek, Terry told him he could have Curley, "White Man Runs Him." Hairy Moccasin, "Goes Ahead, Yellow Face and White Swan. The Crows were glad to serve with the famous Indian fighter and they guided him until they located the hostile camp on the Little Big Horn.
 When Custer divided his command to attack the village, Yellow Face ana White Swan were sent with Major Reno and Custer kept White Man Runs Him." Curly, "Goes Ahead" and Hairy AIoccasin with him. Yellow Face was killed while fighting with Reno, and White Swan was badly wounded, but finally recovered and lived until 1905.
 Today Curlcy is the only survivof of the Custer Crow scouts and, ac- cording to his story, he is the last man who saw his commander alive
 After crossing the ridge, Custer turned to White Man Runs Him, Hairy Moccasn and Goes Ahead - and said to them: You have done your duty. You have led me to the enemy My soldiers will do the fight ing. You are to go now and save your lives" The scouts left him and made their way to the pack train un- der Capt. Tom McDougall.
 When Curley returned from Renos position, he was given the same or der. He started and soon found him self ir ths midst of hot fight. Find ing a dead Sioux warrior, he took hls horse, gun and blanket. Wrapping the blanket about his head to conceal his Grow scalplock from the Sioux, Curlcy succeeded in reaching hlgh butte. Looking back he saw that Custer had charged down upon the Indians and was surrounded. Curley says that he watched the oattle uhlil he saw Custer, who was the last man standing, fall and then he rode away.
 The next morning the Crow scout appeared in General Terry's camp. He could not speak English and there was no interpreter. Curley took blades of grass. piled them all in a heap. and then, exclaiming "Pouf poufm in imitation of the sound of gun, scattered them wide apart. By means of this he made the officer un- dcrstand that Custer and all of his men had been killed. Like the ia nous Greek. Curlcy the Crow was a messenger of disaster and he brought the first news of this Thcrmopylae of America-Custer's last fight.

 HOGS GET ON
 A JUICY JAG
Ate and Drank Freely of The Product of a Moon shine Raid - Squealed, Fought, Laughed.

Sheriff Johnson returned to Jones' boro Saturday night from a flying trip to Brookland Saturday and, un- blushingly confessed that he aided in the accumulation of one of the worst "jags" he ever saw.
 The "jags" were sported by hogs of the four-footed variety, however. The sheriff and his deputies had To- cated a still near Brookland, where they found 900 gallons of mash in 19 barrels and gallon of Whiskey. They poured out the mash and the whiskey and immediately a herd of hungry porkers gathered around and greedily devoured the mash.
 Then followed a bizarre sight. TT, porkers became uproariously drunk and with wild, fierce squeals they flew at each other. Rearing up on their hind feet, trying to strike each other with their fore feet, losing their balance and rolling and tumbling over each other, they battled until they fell from exhaus- tion, while the officers laughed un- til the tears came.
 The officers found no clue as tc Ithe owner of the still.
