We would gladly have taken Mr..
Gholson's word Tor the above state
ment. but Ill those Notary Seals and
multitudinous signatures made It look
the more literary and law-abidding.
I have repeatedly stated that hoped
some day the fact would dawn On
some of you folks that this IS YOUR
column and not MINE. And l am al
most inclined 20 think that that TACT
is beginning 10 dawn. The statement
that Mr.. Gholson has made is one
which no one of us will hardly hear
of being repeated, and is indeed a
rare happening. The least that [ can
say is that it made my poor heart
glad when he sent it to me to go in
this column / feel honored.
Little Betsy Jane Hobgood, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Graham aobgood,
butted just over her eye on the car
door and the doctor had to sew up
the wound on the sewing machine.
She is getting on fine.

turned home after visiting his moth

| saw some little yellow and black
rice birds today. Everyone who has
the space should plant several hills
of sun flowers, as the seeds of those
flowers is what those little birds like.
and they will sure zee on foot and
wing to eat those seeds if you will
plant some of them.
Someone dropped some kind Of
sticky paper on the sidewalk and
almost got tripped up walking on that
tangle-toe paper.
And don't drop cigarettes or cigars
| on the sidewalk without stompins
| them. Only last Saturday one of The
Twins stepped on cigarette duel
someone had just thrown down, and
burnt his foot. That is not only cruel
but is a pure-down mean trick which
could easily be overcome.

Nose out to eat fried chicken and
ham. That is fact, but I only said
