PARISH STREET
BY Percy Greene

VIE avenue L was up TO my uSudl
Saturday night habit and the gra-
cious and industries Mrs. Nit
chell noting my indulgence sug-
gested that it be as / was par
taking of my Cuttings and beer
instead of my fish and beer. Come
to Chittilings, remember here
a while back, when it was being
suggested that in order to meet
he high cost of living, and spec
tally to reduce the price of meat
folks, not just plain folks, but
folks, should eat more down on
the lower part of hte hog, SIGH as
ears, snooths, and jowls. | thought
it was funny that nobody amt
said nuthing bout eating more in
side de hog | found out why /
was a-thoughting like that. l re-
member, least ways, when | was
a boy (now more'n 40 years ago)
when any where on the Ole Ave
nue. dime could buy all the Chit
things you could eat, anywhere
up and down the Ole Avenue. 1t
is with a sorta breast tightening
nostalgia that | think of the time
when l would walk in FISHERS
cafe, slap a dime on the counter,
and before | could open my mouth
good-this would always be of
a Saturday night-Ole Man Wash
Jones would yell out .Givvvve m
One order of Hog Bowls No need
to say dem days are gone for
ever" with Chittilings from six
bits to ninety cents per order
which is no more'n coupla
mouths full. [ did intend to say
something else but one thing
can say, that with whats inside
the hog costing like it is now,
what ever [ see up and down the
Ole Avenue of a Saturday night
in 1949, and what ever I choose
to talk with the cas- and chicks,
with the Ole Tymers, and the
and the regulars about will keep
on being while I was enjoying my
regular repast of Fish and Beer.
SHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PRESIDENT F.. Up at that spec
ial Election Meeting of the Cham
Der Of Commerce the other night,
James l.. Oliver, of whom none is
better known up and down the Ole
Avenue, was elected president.
There was two or three candidates
In the Field. One of the best rea.
sons l ever heard for voting for
a man was given by Brother A. J.
Noel. He told everybody that he
was voting for Brother Oliver
because he wanted the job His
reasoning being that a man who
wanted a job will give all he's got
If given to him. I think like Bro
Their Noel that such will be true
OF the new Chamber President.
James Oliver.
SOMETHING THAT MADE
ME LAFF All up nd down
the Ole Stroll there are mattresses
whose good looks both of face
and form is Of a variety to please
the most choicy. Every once in
while one of the most select
come up with a black-eye or two
and sometimes a few extra indi-
cations to go long with hlackeyes.
/ was up in one of the popular
spots the other night when l
heard one of the cats tell another
that he believed he's ask a wait.
ress who gave her that black-eye.
And the other cat saidd, Man,
don't ask her that, don't you know
hats a bonus that hem cookbook
ing mattresses have to give their
husbands every now-and-then for
letting them work in a Parish
Street Cafe.
