Davis Cleaners Still

Ole Doc. the chief halter, knows
just exactly what to d as far as
custom built hats are concerned.
Let him give you an example,
and see how much better you
look in a real GOOD hat.
Here's something else from
Tennessee: A large hound was
taking his afternoon sieta, on his
masters own front lawn; and
what happened? A big bad rab-
bit turns up OUT Of nowhere and
runs over him; collecting his
wits, he took off in hot pursuit
Of the rabbit and caught him.
He didn't take the trouble to
fetch'im, he ate him just where
he caught him.
It's not that I'm nosey. but
that is about all one could call
it. But it's surprising how many
folks residing in this large town
have been negligent about regis
tering. This paper has contin-
uously advocated that all citizens
should register, it has also in
formed them of the importance
in their dbing so. Be a good,
loyal citizen, if you are not regis
tered, then DO SO NOW!
Rou never can tell when you
will need your vote, maybe some
day I'll decide to run for some
office, instead of running form
all officers. Then I would be
expecting your vote no register
no vote. So again I repeat =
REGISTER NOW.
This is not exactly how ] heard
it said; but there's millions now

replied: II don't know, but l

Then you were born a slave?
Oh yes, was the answer. Ny
masters name was Mr.. Charley
Edmondson, that is why I'm
named Edmondson.
His official birth record was

Republicans attacked President

They spoke in a Nationwide

Representative Brown, Republi-
can, of Ohio said the Truman ad-
ministration is spending $50, 900
a minute and taking in only
$40, 1000.

lie spender of all time" he added.
