try to figure Amt Haggar's Chill
I'm out always say is that the mem
bers of the tribe are "impression-
able" what ever that means to the
scholars, but in jest plain old up
and down Parish Street, I'd say
that Amt Haggar's Chillun finds a
lotta things hard to-forget. What
made me start this off thsaway is
the fact that / heard some Brothers
and Sisters of the tribe, while
was setting down to my fish and
beer, discussin@ and talking about,
what's de Publican party's Gonna
do for US, in the general suspicion,
that something done already gone
wrong as there don't seems to be
as much chance in circulation as
they was before the lection
What the Brothers and sisters
seemed to be Citing scared about,
or rather what caused them to git
already scared was them "impres-
sionables" what they got back in
1905 when they wasn't no kinda
controls, and corn meal wasn't but
flfteen-cents sack, with the onlv
difference being that there wasn't
no fifteen-cents in nobobdy's pocket
to by even a nickles worth of corn
meal =. and then there was
lotta other things lack lining-up on
the street to git some free irish
potatoes, but being in bad enough
luck to git there a little late and
have to git down on the tail end
of the line, which would get to the
glve-away-door jest as the last
giving had run out, Yes, Sir, as
one Brother put it things look lack
them "publicans am agin ready to
gobble-up all de money, and then
dam-up all the money holes that
they amt able to gobble-up, which
/ means that in the minds of Amt
Haggar's Chillun, whose thinking
in polliticks, it want be long now
the way things going before they
be jest lack they was before when
all the money got dammed-up and
gobbled up so it was enough flow
ing for everybody to leave some for
Amt Haggar's Chullun It
make me kinda feel bad though
when | heard a Brother wishing
that he could forget, because as
he put it if he didn't remember, he
wouldn't be listening ever Satdee
for his BOSNIAN to say, Boy, you
alls Salary done got reduced, then
not long after dat, to hear his
Boss-man say, Boy, you-alls gonna
hafta be laid off for a few days
Yes, Sir, Them 1930's is
soon to remember and hard
to forget.
SOMETHING THAT MADE Me
LAFF: Some Kats down around
the corner of Parish & Hamilton
was trying to give a good dis
cription of Hundred Dollar Betting
Meade after he and Little Man"
| had somekinds ruckus the other
night when a lick from a bottle
left Meade's facing looking like the
cross between a Gorilla and yild-
hog, while the fellow was trying
to finish the description a fellow
asked, Well, what got between 'em,
Brother. The reply was, a shadow
friends, nothing but a shadow, but
it was the shadow of old man John
Barleycorn.
THE BIBLE is RIGHT: Down
on Parish Street Saturday Night
after Brother Suite Owens got
through stripping Barber Louis
Travers with his pocket-knife, Bar
Der Traves said that he'd oily jest
been talking to the mans wife but
didn't mean no harm. Another
/ Brother standing near chiming-in
said, Hide Yourself, Brother, You
! Must Always hide yourself, Cause
you know the Cookbook says, Us
must void de appearance of evil"
! HIS BAD LUCK WANT LET
/ UP: Brother Julius Mitchell, of the
Booker T-Grill so the boys say has
been having some ruff goings with
F., old-bad luck for the past. few
weeks, and some friends said Mon
day Night that it looked like Old
Bad Luck was keeping right after
the, good Brother, when he was in
a car wreck down at the Corner of
Parish and Amite that might cost
him another $500.
WHERE'S HE GOING: Early
nights now, Brother d. d. is likely
to walk out of the kitchenette with
his face all powdered and hit hat
tilted to one-side, and as one Bro
Their said, where he's going :.
anti nobody's business.
