hear the Ole Folks saying when l
was a boy was that Birds Of a
feather flock together" which
used to make folks back in that
day, specially the young girls who
was figuring on getting them a
good husband kinda careful bout
where they went and who they
went with and from the way
things look now the Ole Folks done
quit telling the young folks any
thing bout birds of a feather flock
together cause it looks like to me
no matter where they come from,
it don't matter no more there
they 60 nor who they 60 with
which is causing some kind of
problem 'mongst the male breed
of the tribe in selecting and stay
ing-wid a mate The staying
wild being more important than
the selecting it being well
known that it don't take nothing
but some talk to say come on less
git married What made me
think about such as this was that
while I was setting down eating
my fish and drinking my beer, l
heard some folks, kinda old and
worried looking, talking bout how
much trouble they was having
buying shoes and clothes and feed
ing their daughter and three young
children after the husband kept on
going out throwing away his
money every Saturday and Sunday
night until he jes walked off and
left 'em in a house and her pa had
to 60 git 'em and bring 'em home
Well, the ole lady who locked
like the mother said after the talk
had gone on a while, I reckon he
went back to where she got i'm
from, to the juke joints cause she
show didn't meet i'm at the church
house Which like my grandma
used to say, amt no husband nor
wife to be found in places where
the folks amt got their minds on
nothing but having a good time,
because after you git married the
good times comes last and
amt no kinda married folks can
get not where with nothing but
good times on their minds v. so
thinking on that l though I'd say
here to the young of Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun that may be hoping
to be something X. Don't go look
ing for something where there amt
nothing AS the ole folks used
to say when was boy :. Birds
of feather flock together w.
SOMETHING THAT MADE NE
LAFF: My good friend julius
Mitchell I'm trying to put in the
high class getting mad with me
cause | said them fellows wasn't
telling the truth about him be-
cause he'd crossed his heart and
body and said he'd quit . If you
wanna know how we come out in
our argument 60 ask him. We
helped the city of Jackson to the
tune of fifty bucks.
THAT OLE BIRD that carries
in his bill that little old heart
warming family-cementing bundle,
left one the other Friday at the
home of my oldest daughter over
in Atlanta. lisa girl which
makes me three time grand papa.
| don't know what they named
her, but when I hear I'll let you
know.
THE OLD BIRD also left one
of his bundles at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. T. Williams out on
Peach Street. lisa boy, named
LARRY Darnell, and every body is
we'll and happy, but among the
happiest of all is grandmother,
Mrs. Amanda Buchanan, out on
Hull Street.
