on it but the first thing | got in
my mail Monday morning was
letter from somebody about what
| said here last week about US
members o-the- tribe of Haggar
done got our "eddicatsun" messed
up wits us's religion and done
quit singing theme songs lack
''You Better Nine" "You Bet
er Mine You got to give an
account in Judgement You
Better Mine" the songs US
used to sing in the olden days 9.
What satisfied me most was that
the letter was adding to stead of
takin-from what | had already
sed hyar last Satdee. Without
THROWN no 'spurgeons on the sub
ject l couldn't help but think "a
bout the aforesaid letter as | set
down to enjoy my fish and beer
1t seems that my correspond
ent had found something else, of
more than minor nature, to add to
what I'd already said about the
church and the getting of the
young'erns in the church, and dom
something with 'em after getting
them inside What the letter
writer wished to add to what I'd
said last Satdee, and what he evil
IDENTIFY wanted me to say something
about here this Satdee was this:
The letter said that along with us
being done stopped singing them
old time songs in the churches lack
we used to be when we had e.
nough religion to go around, even
to the why-folks we done
even got rid of the "Amen Corner"
and that nowadays when anybody
back over in a corner of the church
gifts up nerve enough to holler
"Amen Brother" some of dem
college gradge-u-ates on the Dea-
cons Board is lackly to look over
in the corner and say, | believes
old sister so-and-so needs to be
1psyco- any-iz :. !. did . as she
is showing signs of over-stressdid
motions, and lackly to git to
shouting and De- stirub the
orderly discourse of the minister
and the Sunday morning pro-
gram (Which is the only time said
talker is at church) don't
know how true it is everywhere
else, but 'mongst Amt Haggar's
Chillun, the prevailing opinion is
that there amt much religion
where there amt no "Amens."
DISAPPOINTED: A lotta folks
went to the Voters League meet
ing set to be out at Lyunch Street
CINE Church Tuesday night and
were disappointed when they found
that a full-scale revival was 60
ing on in the church. They could
have just as we'll went on in be-
cause nothing that was going on
in the church could hurt the pros
pective citizen and voter.
NEW BUSINESS IN TOWN:
Along with getting new pastor
at famed Central Methodist church
the city also got a new business.
One of the best beauty prepare
tons, especially for growing the
hair, and keeping it healthy, is
prepared by the Webb Products
Company, whose directing genius
is Mrs. S. L. Webb, the wife of
the new pastor of Central Meth
odist church. The plant for MAX
ing the Webb products has been
located at Gulfport but has now
been moved to this city.
