NIGHT: You can bet your bottom
most dollar if you still have one
left after Christmas spending,
that Up and Down Parish Street
there's more than passing interest
in the controversy, which would
be called fight in Amt Haggar's
Chilluns language, which has been
going on for the last few days be-
tween His Honor, the Mayor, and
the Why-folks of the Clarion Led
ger because His honor, the Mayor,
has let it be known that he wants
an increase in his salary, or at
least that he wont be adverse to
taking such an increase if the good
voters Of Jackson, Amt Haggar's
Chilluns included, will mark there
ballots right, come this Friday.
How / learnt that Amt Haggar's
chilluns are interested in the more
salary fight, was while / was sit
ting back in one of my favorite
spots trying to quietly enjoy my
Satdee Mite Fish and Beer when
said subject, was the subject, most
being discussed mongst the Satdee
Night Parish Streeters, specially
them that can now proudly say, !
Kin Vote. | sat an listened as |
consumed my fish and beer as the
conversation went on hoping that
some where before the end came
somebody would reach or arrive at
an opinion on the subject. ! con-
fess l was disappointed. That is
| was disappointed in the hope
that l would hear the result or
conclusion of somebody's opinion
finally, or all ready arrive at. The
best that I got was when anent
the subject, one fellow told some
thing about a saying common a.
mongst Amt Haggar's Chillun, af-
ter they had talked about tax
easements, about the Big fish eat
ing up the little ones, and about
what the Bible says about the poor
gittin poorer and the rich gittin
richer, and everything else ger
main or un-germain to the sub
ject, according to the way you
choose to lok at it, being not where
| was setting and heard what was
said. Now that joke that was told
was about the saying long current
'mongst the members o-the-tribe.
F. You don't have to give it to
me unless you want to but /
you can't keep me from wanting.

WEEKLY QUOTATION: For
our weekly quotation, and by way
of saying our Merry Christmas
to everybody whose INDUCED us
by reading this column since last
Christmas we give the following
poem from the pen of AMOS WILL
LIAMS, long time ADVOCATE
newsman, titled CHRISTMAS
TIME:
Cold December is the end of the
year
brings Christmas trees and
Christmas cheer.
Santa is travelling along on his
rail
watch out little girls he is on
your trail!
He fills the socks with lovely gifts
to make some little children hap
py on the twenty-fifth.
He goes here and there from door
to door
to give Christmas cheer to the
needy and the poor.
He makes everyone feel happy and
gay
on that joyous yuletide holiday.
Remember the day of our Saviour
Go to the house of prayer and
honor him and pray.
MERRY, MERRY, MERRY
CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY
HERE, THERE, AND EVERY
WHERE.
