spot says something with whole
lot of sense to it. This is exactly
what happened last Saturday ev-
ening long about the time the sun
was ankle deep and the beer was
at its best and the good brothers
was talking about things in gen.
eral. He said that one thing that
a whole lot of Aunt Haggar's
Chillun amt got around to doing
vet was to start them up a bank
account and save a little of that
green stuff that's so hard to git
these days. He said that he know
ed a whole lot of the brothers
and sisters that was making right
good change thees days, but they,
was getting rid of it faster than
they was getting it, and when it
was all gone they didn't have
nothing to show for it worth moth
ing. He said that the way he had
it figgered, if most of the good
brothers wa sto start saving some
of that stuff and sailing it away
in the right place, wouldn't be
long beore they'd have enough to
do something worthwhile, like buy
ing up a lot, and sticking up a
house or something. The good
brother went on to say that a
whole lot of the sisters and bro
enough money lately to buy a
house and lot and everything that
goes with it, and that there amt
nothing better than buying little
piece of ground cause you got a
stake in the land and you is real
ly a citizen. Yassuh! He said he'd
rather have one slice Of bread
that was his own, than a whole
loaf that belonged to somebody
else. Course now We amt no ex-
perts on the subject but it jest
amt no gettin around it, that bro
Their had something here, chill
luns. New we amt saying that
you amt never supposed to have
little fun. What we is saying
though is that it amt nothing no
better than having a little somehin
laid by for a rainy day
