must love you very dearly. I sat
across the aisle from him on the

to a woman who was sitting next

Mrs. Brown laughed delightedly.
"Well," she finally replied, "John
is a fairly devoted husband, but I
think he was exaggerating little
when you heard him. You see, he
was bringing out the new cook, and
when you heard him he was giving
me a build-up."

State With Six
Straight Wins

The Pascagoula Painters hand
ed the Greenville Hornets a 40 to
6 humping last Friday night, and
went into a tie with the Natchez

one of the henderson both.
The Panther spiked the power
of Greenville Fullback Laverne

Millette to hand the Hornets their
first 1947 beating, Millette COM

ever, went to Lee. Wallace for the
G~reenville touchdown.
'Lavon Ezell of Pascagoula
scored 10 points to run his season
total to so and take the individu-
al lead from Boykin, who had held
it for four weeks.
The Carr Central Greenies of
lVieksburg are in third place in
the league standings, with four
victories and one defeat, after
beating Tupelo 20 to IA. The
Greenies twice came from behind
to tie the score, then won the
match as George Morris intercept
ed a pass and "Tooly" Baughman
circled end for twelve yards and
a touchdown.
Sauer and Joseph scored Vicks-
burg's other touchdowns, on a
forward and lateral from Brett
haupt, respectively.
The Greenwood Bulldogs hand

son champions favorite, its second
straight beating, AZ to 81. Jimmy
Lear passed for four Greenwood

one of the scoring overheads and
ran SIS yards for the other touch

points.
