Martin Agromsky, news commenta-

While waiting there, we visited with
Mrs. B. w. Moore for few minutes
She asked us to stay for dinner, and

having us as company, after she
told about okra, corn, and butter

Mrs. Moore's I saw Mrs. Ed Guess,
Mrs. Bib Lacey of Thomastown, and
Harold Smithson at the Coca-Cola
plant, and I hollered at them. Then

down the street, didn't seem to be
going any place in particular

for a few minutes at the Mississippi
Power and Light plant to see if
she could tell me me any thing. She
didn't know much-1 can't fool
around with people that don't know

Lumber company and chatted with
Mrs. Taylor for a few minutes. BY
