candidates cant take his opponent
serious" 1t seems from the way he
is burning gas, that we must have
read the definition of serious in
correctly
1t was with sorrow we heard of
the detah of Sam Clawson. We eX-
tend sympathy to al who feel the
blow-and especially to Rebecca,
whom we have known since she was
La little girl.
And now the secret is out-the
| ladies were out-but while it may
seem peculiar, surprising, unequaled
in the history of femality since Eve
tipped the leaf, they are using deeds
instead of words in this campaign.
Unlike the males of the tribe they
have not divulged whether they are
with Hitler or the Allies in the
two ring bout Bout don't seem
fitting. If had lion / cared for
would hesitate to turn him in with
those maddened humans Let us
suggest that the ladies meet on the
court house porch, Saturday after
noon and sing "What will be har-
vest be-" on account of the condi-
ton of the party, "Blest be the
tie' can't be used.
Funny
Yea amusing when we happen
along when some of the Republicans
from the outskirts-that is outside
the six who are supervising the
cash and bury" campaign are talk

The funny thing, some Democrats
not mentioning any names, know

Dean and Doris Mummey, twin
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil Mum
mey, celebrated their sixth birthday
Friday May 3. They have the dis

We can't understand why some
folks want to spend a lot of money
to have folks notice them-when If
we act queer it has the same effect
and costs less.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Patterson, son
Ray and Mrs. Fauna Ray of Barber

The Meigs scribe has written much
of the life and works of this man
during the years we have been
pers. On every visit with him we
learned something new: something
worth while Now when we have
come to the final-the review, our
mind goes back through the years,
and we recall his words of COM

Democrat arrived. We are sure he
would have it that way. Born on a |
farm. he continued to stay there
stay is not the word Much, yea a |
