NIGHT: Back yonder, not TOO far
tho, when l was a boy we used to
say, when the taunt could be the
most telling: WAIT" BROKE
THE BRIDGE DOWN. From ev-
erywhere now for a long time ev-
erybody else's been telling Aine
Haggar's Chillun down her in the
Old Magnolia to "WAIT," and
never failing to add them other
catch words, AND BE PATENT
and showing willingness to take
advice from any and everybody
that comes along "cepten they own
folks" Aine Haggar's tribe has
been waiting and being patients
while a whole world was being
called on here and yon to join the
praise for the great progress that
the children of the tribe of Haggar
has made here in these United
States since Marse Lincoln signed
the Emancipation ;. Unbeknow-
INCEST to most of them that is been
advising Aine Haggar's Chillun to
WAIT" and "BE PATIENT"
Aine Haggar's Chillun done added
that other word which belong in
the train, WATCH" which when
you put 'em all together says
WAIT BE PATIENT and WATCH
does kinda rhine out into some
thing that sounds lack sense as
most anybody can see that jest
"WA1T1NG" and being "PA-
TENT" and aint WATCHING"
so that you kin see that everybody
else is running off with everything
while you're "WAITING" and be-
ing PATIENT" don't add to much
when you're figuring out sense.
What made me think about our
saying back yonder when l was
boy, is what | read in the papers
bout what's goin on bout that
money fur the equal schools, what
everybody says Aine Haggar's
Chillun wants and needs, and i'm
they don want they gonna git ..
anyhow and was was being
said by some of the members of
the tribe as we gathered around
IN our favorite spot along the Ole
Avenue for our Satdee mite fish
and beer. What l discovered from
what these aforesaid members of
the Tribe of Haggar was saying
is that the Chillun done long time
ago found de loop-hole in that
WYATT" and they's been for long
time jess being patient, and there's
a lotta things that goes into being
patient, special when your fate is
in somebody else's hands, things
lack confidence, trust, and them
other loyal words but from
what | heard Aine Haggar's Chill
lun bout to give-out-our patients
and bout that school equalizing
money it looks lack Aine Haggar's
Chillun is bout to see that it was
:. WYATT" THAT BROKE THE
BRIDGE DOWN.
ALONG GOSSIP ROW: What
they're saying up and down the
Ole Avenue lately is that another
we'll known couple will soon be
asking the Judge to unite their
knot, although they say that either
one might choke-up if they were
to hear somebody singing that
song about Whispering That You
Are Growing Tired Of Me-"
BAD NEWS FOR FUN Low
ERS: 1t was in the newspapers
this week that Judge Alexander
has filed pad-locking cases against
eleven local night clubs among
them being Stevens Rose Room
and the Club Desire If either
place is permanently closed it'll be
bad news for fun lovers here and
everywhere who wish that every
body was like the folks who like
to go out for a night of fun.
MORE OF 1T NEEDED: Last
Sunday night down at the Alamo
Theatre 1.-The Bishops Mantle" a
four-act play, was presented by
the Margaret Walker Book Club,
with the players being what you
would call local" talent. 1t was
good show and all of the parts
