Amt Haggar's Chillun, you've al
ready found out that every town
has it's Parish Street of the Chill
lun of the tribe, little longer, a
little wider, little more spectac-
uIar, but otherwise just like the
old Avenue. Instead of being j
a corner ir one Of ny favorit
spots up and down the Ole Avenue,
| was up in Washington, the ma
tion's capital and the capital of the
world, where Amt Haggar's Chill
rr # the Democratic persuasion,
land NOT just the CIVIL RIGHTS
persuasion, like most people think
!. i. had come to the Nations Cap
ital for the $1OO-per-plate Jeffer-
son-Jackson Day Dinner, paying
their money to help the fortunes
of tht Democratic party come No
vember, but lack everybody else
that was there, was struck dumb
when President Truman said he
aint gonna run no more, and Amt
Haggar's Chillun who was there,
wasn't no more surprised than the
other folks who was there. Being
interested in the newspaper busl-
ness myself I could not help watch
ing the press section where the
newspaper reporters from all over
1.-THE country, and most of the world
was watching every move and try
ing to catch every sound IN order
ITO get real story for their paper
Somebody said, in my hearing, that
nobody knowed President Truman
| was gonna say what ne said about
| I amt gonna run no more but his
wife, and when he got through
saying what he said, knowed my
self that didn't nobody know he
was gonna say it but Missus Bess,
the way them newspaper reporters
started to jumping over them
benches and tables trying to get
out so they could get to tele-
phone and tell their papers what
had tuck place. Yes, sir. 1t show
was blow to Amt Haggar's Chill
lun, the warmth of whose love, be-
cause their going is so ruff, goes
out in full measure to anybody
that looks lack they want to give
them a helping hand, but before |
got away from Washington, me
and my pal Johnnie Greene from
| canton, found out that while Aint
Haggar's Chillun was crazy about
President Truman, they were a
whole lot more crazy about Social
Security, FILA Loans, Farm Home
Loans, Low Cost Housing, and
things lack that, which makes most
of them everywhere Democrat.
A WORD TO THE WISE: We
had a number of little boys core
down to sell papers, who go off
with our papers and never come
back, and most time when We con-
tact their parents and tell them
about it they acts as though 1T
makes them mad E. Well, back up
your boy in starting off like and
he'll more and likely end up the
same way :. with somebody beg
ging the Governor to spare his
life Remember the saying \. !.
Train up a child in the way it
should go, and when it's old it
won't depart from it.
SOMETHING YOU MIGHT
WANNA KNOW: Saw Mrs. Mo
man, of the College Park Club
House, the other night in Meridian.
She was on her way to Philadel-
phia, Pa, where one of her daugh-
ters is getting married f. and
that very attractive young lady
that you see up and down the Ole
Avenue this week is the daughter
of Mark Hanna, the cab-driver-
musician. She's been making her
home in the Nations Capital.
NEW BUSINESS ALONG THE
OLE AVE: Glover Moore has
taken over the Chop House up at
the corner of Parish and Church
street. 1t used to be run by Pearl
and Chauncey Davis Glover
says he intends to make it the best
ieating place along the Ole Avenue.
SCHOOL TEACHERS MEET

speeches made at the convention
have been properly weighed and
measured the best speech of 'em
all was made by Attorney Jack
Young.
