The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1921-10-26
Attends Centennial;
Has A Great Time

\ for that's what everybody what
come had to say bout It. Me ant
wife took It in and had an jolly
whoppin' time. We don't know what
that word Sen-tenny-yel means, but
from what we could see, it must be
when all the girls and boys leaves a
town, and after they gets grown, finds
out what a turrible-mistake they has
made, and comes back home and
warns the others not to leave and then
have good time. ! was due to make
the annuel address to the crowd, but
Mr.. Johnston the Chairmanship, says,
there is SO many extinguished viziters
here, 1t might be a good idea TO let
some of them talk, for we didn't want
to make anybody mad, and as | was
rite close BY and he could call on me
most anytime, so ! give way to the
governor, and some preachers, and
some lawyers, and some doctors, and
they done so well, you couldn't of told
but what | had made my address.
And did you see that Perade, with all
those pritty girls fioatin' around. Vito
says it was about the prittiest we have
ever saw, and it was a buty. Mr..
Johnston, the Guardianship, wanted
me and wife to ride on one of them
floats, but there was so many pritty
girls that wanted to go, and it would
be shame to disappolnt them, so we
give way. He finally desided that we
was to go on the Coca-Coly wagon,
out them visitors was 50 thursty, and
,ould find nothing else to drink, so
hey drinked up all the Coca Cola, and
here wasn't any left to Flote. Then
IS there wasn't nothin' to adbertise
We wouldn't go--you know we is biz
less folks-and we heard some young
aides say at PAYS TO ADVER.
TlSE." We vent to the Kollidge to
zee the girls drill and that sure was
'ritty. wanted to get up close
where / could see it all, but here
ONES one of them Boy Shoots, and
es git out of here, or you will git
un over, and we had to move. Sich
rray of buty and fine actin we amt
cen before. The good book tells US
That Solomon in all his glory was
OF annoyed by one Of these" but we
ct four bits if he had been here he
ould be sorry he wasn't.
And don't forget the frework; they
as grand; about the best we ever
NV. When them big guns begin to !
lst right over our beds, some ladies
as skeered and thought the Germans {
as bout to bumbard US, but me and
life wasn't skeeredi cause we had
zen some of them things at Mardy
raw. But when them waterfalls was
lshed on the screen, they kapped the
imaX, for some folks thought they !
as goin' to get drowned and broke t
run away. If it hadn't of been for 7
slight axident, they might of been /
stamped, but two large ladies fell l
the ditch and blocked the way \
hem folks must have come from the
city, and thought the levy had broke.
e and wife got the ladies out of the
tch, and after a few consolin' words
# for the dance. The dance was
Maskerade ball; that's where you
'ess up in borrowed close that don't
:, and put on another face, and
lat's where the two-faced Teller
mes in. We and wife didn't dress
} funny for we knowed we would
It the prise, and as there was so
any visitors here, We didn't want to y
lrt Their feelings. One sassy lassy '
me Dustin up to me and ses-kid, e
mt you want to hop with me? 2" but il
looked at wife and wife looked at Il
e and didn't smile, and ! knowed 81
lsn't nothing dom so | SEES ! can't n
nee kid, now, but come back tomor-
W night and I'll show you the Il
nny hug, me and wife has been (;
utin' ever since. 81
Well, we all had a rousin' good time, ii
d Mr.. Johnston was dandy Chair b
anship, and hope they appoint 2
m for the next Sen-Tenny-Yel If
