Night - Every now and on of the
good brothers that gathers with us
up in our favorite Avenoo spot ups
and says something that makes all
the rest of the brothers sit up and
think for a long time. This parti-
cular brother that we are about to
talk about ordered a tall cold beer,
tipped the waitress, and proceeded
dto ask a question of all the bro
theirs that was gathered there.
This brother said that he felt call
ed upon to read a good book one
day last week so he got up and
walked all the way up to that
Jackson Public Library to check
out one of them books that heo had
seen lined up all around the wall
while he was passing there one
daay. This brother went or to say
that he hadn't exactly decided
what book he wanted to read be-
fore he got up there, he just had
intended to browse through the
shelves until he came across some
good reading material then check
it out and go home and read to his
hearts content Now this brother
said that he walked up through
the door of that Jackson Public
Library and went up to the desk
where the lady was sitting and
stated his desire to have the use OF
the good books from the library
for a day or two. He said that the
lady looked at him kinda pitiful
like an told him thatd she was
ownright sorry but there just was
Mt no facilities for any of the broo-
theirs firm up and odwn Parish st,
way to check out any of the books
from the library and she shore
wished that there was something
she could do about it but she could
not and that was that. Now what
this good brother wanted to know
was whether or not any OF ms
money was supporting the Jackson
Public Library and if lit was --.,,-----
Why couldn't he read one of them
books that he was paying for with
his hard earned money, and II
them folks just wasn't going to let
him rea one he shore wished they
would be nice enough to stop tax
ing his money -.--.-.-,,,---.-.--
