uNIcueu up 10 the NdhlluIN Duiuti
shop an me an Sim got a har cut
Mr. Hancock shore does know barber
ing frum the word 90, an he did sich
nice job on my head / jest sez TO
myself I'll git my whiskers TUX off an
see ef the ole lady knows me when |
git back home. Shucks alive, didn't
hardly know my own self when / look
ed in the glass. Gee, but they's aw-
fully fixed up in thar with a scrump-
tious plise to take a bath, but l didn't
take one cause 'twasnt Sunday, my
regular day.
Liza is kinda sprucy like, goes to
meetin nifty rugged up sometimes and
jest sposen now I'd forgot to go round
to Mrs. Child's for that new head gear
! promised her. est tole Mrs. Child's
bout what stile NV beauty the ole
woman wuz an she knowed zackly
what kind NV sky piece ter fix up purity
Huh Twuz purity nough fur the hi
falutines' gal ian all our diggins an |
wuz nafchelly skeered to asst the price.
But ii wont nothing to fuss bout, fer
her prices air jest as agreeable as the
hats air to look at.
The gals is beginnin TO ketch bows
an Liza lowed we'd have to add an
other room for 'em TO spark in. SO /
bought some NV that fust-class lumber
from Landers Lumber Co., TO build it
with. Found l could buy a big wag-
gin lode NV lumber fer d very few dol
lars an so ! give Mr.. Hofmann a order
fer nough to build smokehouse to
keep meat in this fall. Consumed ef
/ didn't buy so much | had TO send
Sim back ON a special trip just fer
that lumber.
Landers Lumber Co. also carrys a
good line of paints, varnishes an all
other materials used in bildin or dollin
up the home.
Seat my dads if one NV the tires on
the old wagin didn't come off right
thar in the middle NV the street an
started rollin down the road fore the
kid could hop out. used a Sunday
skule word or an then called for
Joe Gschwend. the blacksmith 10
come over and help us. Wall II
6ever taken him no time to get that
49,. ,,.a,,,,;,, ts,o 10 Oh an Ia epo sham
He's got a tire srunker what shrunks
EN- up in lessen 20 minnits. Mr..
Gschwend is CRATE on shewin- hosses
and you Jest orter see him use them
thar rasps an hoof trimmin imple-
ments. He also does all kines wagon
an other woodwork.
After finishin up my helter skelter
buyin l found that | had S175 and so
/ went round TO the Randolph County
Bank an put all NV this-cept so l
KEEP back in case NV accident put in
thar on savings accounts knowd it'd
be safe thar an | could draw 4 pus-
sent intrust too. Again it might do
some NV my nabors good what wanted
TO borry. No ways about it, the
best place to keep money is in a bank
an not hid out round the house
somers. Liza's stockin is got a hole
in it an we can't risk that no longer
no how. Amt | right, Liza?
