NIGHT: I've been talking some
lately in this hyar column about
the wisdom in the sayings of the
late Col. E. L. Patton, one of the
wisest and best informed of the
Old Tyne Parish Streeters. He
used to say, when dealing with
subject where be was want to
weight some of the short-coming
of Amt Haggars Chilluns, Wen,
One Thing Is True, Too often, if
a Cullud Mans Brooches amt too
long, his Coat'll be too short. /
have been hearing lot of con-
versations amongst Amt Haggar's
Chilluns as | sat and watch, or
gather with 'em of a Saturday
night, in some favorite spot along
the Ole Avenue, as we mutually
indulge our Satdee nights repast
of Fish and Beer, but / have sell
dom had the chance to witness the
truth and wisdom of the saying as
| had the other Sunday, when
crowd of the chilluns got together
at a local church in order to OBJ
serve the Baptist Inspirational
Hour and do some shouting about
the progress that Amt Haggars
Chilluns have made during the
past three generations, since folks
amongst us of the gender and size
of "little David" Shepherd sold
for the sum of $500, which is a
subject Il mean the Progress)
that Amt Haggars Chilluns can't
talk too much about themselves,
and can't do too much to let other
folks know something about, es-
necially them that wanta make
they sells believe that yarn about
we amt been put here for nuthin
but to be "hewers of wood and
drawers of water f. which, would
be all right i'm it just meant us
hew our own wood and draw our
own water, which the folks who
believes like they do don't wanta'
believe. What | started out to say
about the pooof was that that
showing off what I'm talking about
started at Las on Sunday after
church had to be called off. with
a whole lot left to do in order to
let some body else git in the church
who had something they wanted
to do that same day. What we
wanter do is git folks informed
about us, particular, after we gifts
informed about ourselfs but
we want get 'em to come is It
gonna take three or more hours
to tell the story, what we gotta
watch out for is to get our coat
and pants even because like Col.
E. L. Patton said its still bad
looking suit if the breeches are
too long, or the coat too short.
SOMETHING THAT MADE |
ME LAFF: A very good looking
lady, though getting to be lit
tie on the buxom side, was run
ming from scale to scale down at
the corner of Hamilton street and
the Ole Avenue the other morning
weighing herself, looking as
though she was little disappoint-
ed as she left each scale. One of
the Parish Street Kats, watching
her as she scampered across the
corner, turned to his buddy and
said: Man, she musta amt never
heard that story about DON'T
NUTHIN LIKA BONE BUTA
DOG.
