Carthage courier. (Carthage, Tenn.) 1913-current, 1921-04-28

Mice are not as active as they used
to be.
The little operation was over. The
man, after the effect of the ether had
passed off, looking around the room,
exclaimed: where am u"
Or. Mckinney replied, "Oh, you're
all right"
all right, but where am l att"
The doctor answered jOcularly, I'm
Heaven"
The patient responded, IF that's 50,
I'd like to know what you're doin'
here"
Is zap an island, or is it a Country
hunk" a 'rube" or is it merely a
state of mind? I'm all up in the air
over the question.
While Christian nations their destinies
are carving;
There are millions in the world actual
ly starving,
But over here, bless Pat,
We are taking anti-fat;
While the world looks on, marv'ling.
IF the phaze-maker who said that
"the art of conversation is dead" could
hear friend of mine discourse on his
own requirements and success in life,
he'd recall that statement. He's a
self-starter, too, but the clutch on the
brake slips and he bitches sometimes,
but he just keeps stepping on the gas.
Too bad! For a year or more, we
have been hoping the coal profteers
would be punished, but | read in a
L
cd by the government. If the high
price of coal should continue until next
winter l shall go into Information, as
that is the only nation that is not dis
tresSed by the high price of coal. 1t
is said there is enough coal in the
United States to last six thousand
years. Does seem that fellow should
be able to get little of it before it is
all gone. The profiteers in coal should
be hung as high as the price of coal
But ''the Lord knoweth best. He
marked iniquity to appear in fine raj
nlent, and they'll get it in the neck.
1t is predicted that girls will in the
spring dress their hair so as to ex-
pose the tips of the ears. Naughty!
Naughty! What will they do next ? +
Please don't try to answer. They keep
a fellow guessing and continue to
draw US as the well known lodestar
draws its load, and make fellow eat
out of her hand like Fido and roll over
and play dead" This now may not
be true, but that's the way she used
to do. .sr,a
If the ocean was beer, and was a
duck,
] wouldn't give cent for big silver
cIID.
I'd know I'd stumbled into a stack of
good luck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come
up.
Strange to me that people continue
using that old, stale expression that
"a fool and his money are soon part
ed" There is nothing strange or
novel about it, for it has been true
since first there was legal tender.
The strangest thing to me is how
they ever got together.
/ am democratic, all right, but wish
to be fair and am bound to admit
that so far the weather under Presi-
dent Harding has been pretty good,
and l have no reason to doubt he is
endeavoring to deal fairly with US.
True, we have had some unusually
cold weather and heavy frost this
spring; but let that pass.
l heard an intelligent woman re-
mark the other day that ga woman
can do anything if she will keep her
mouth shut and eyes open"
I'd like to see her tackle a ham
sandwich that way, or show her ton
sis.
Once / knew knew / knew.
But now / must confess,
The more know know I know,
know / know much less.
