PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Ah'm just as much as you
$ :. is one of the sayings heard
'mongst Aine Haggar's Chullin
hat gives away one of their deep
est yearnings and at the same
time tells lot about whats-to-mat:
ter with the members of the tribe
i. and more'n anything else folks
feels lack checking-up on a fellow
soon's they hear him saying to
somebody. Aim jest as much as
you is . l was eating my fish
and drinking my beer in one of my
favorite spots along the Ole Ave-
nue. when l heard what was kind
of advise that the members of the
tribe when everybody else is talk
in about how great they is and
all Aine Haggar's Chullin is do
ing is Citing mad with everybody
for saying how good they is but
never Citing mad enough to say
Aim Jess as good as you is, cept'n
when they gifts mad at another
member of the tribe of Haggar
was listening while m
Tending and proving was going
on in a corner after some sharp
talk had come up over a matter
of not much Importance 'mongst
folks cept'n when they have taken
on the added energy that comes
from to much indulgence in what
is what too many of Aine Hag-
CARS Chullin starts hunting as
soon as comes Saturday night. It's
fortunate that 'mongst Aine Hag-
CARS Chullin there is most times
somebody in the crowd who can
quiet things down which | al
ways look at as being the reason
that the Saturday night fatalities
don't add up to heep more'n what
is the case, it was one of these
kinda folks in the crowd when the
conversation that I'm talking about
| began to wax warmer and warm
er and | do believe that just
before this fellow Pm talkin bout
spoke-up there was one fellow al
ready feelin his pockets to see if
he had forgot his trusty blade when
he took off his work clothes to
dress up for his Satdee mite mean
! behring's Anyway, one fellow
who was on what looked lack the
| loosing side of the argument,
though one fellow was talkin about
him instead of the question before
the house, and ups and says to
the fellow he had suddenly got
mad at, Look, Fellow, Ah'm Jess
as much as you is, but he cooled
off soon as somebody said . .
You kin always figure that fell
low don't think much of hisself
when you always hearing him tell
in somebody, Ah'm Jess as much
as you is ...
WHERE THE GOOD LOOKING
LOOKS FOR WHAT LOOKS
GOOD: l always get a big lift
when ever I feel the need by just
going bye looking in Sanders Mil
linery and peeping in at the towns
best looking ladies, looking their
best, and smiling with satisfac-
ton while fitting on some of the
swank and stylish headgear to be
seen at the Sanders New Hat Bar
Counter.
PROFITING BY EXAMPLE:
Up at the meeting in Mound Bayou
/ last Sunday which was alive with
the touchy issues of the moment,
Lawyer Sidney Tharp was called
on for a speech, like Governor
White at the recent AME Church
meeting here, Lawyer Tharp
preached a fair sermon, saying
nothing about the issues OF the
moment. but quoting copiously
from the GOOD BOOK, the only
thing lacking was that he didn't
give out his text.
SOMETHING THAT'S MAKING
FOLKS LAFF: That story that
they're telling about the Farish
Street Business man whose nav
ing his lawyer to check on other
business men for offering people
;obs whose working for him.
THAT BABY CONTEST: Truly
the biggest thing to ever happen
here is the Big Carnation MIX
