PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Way back yonder when /
vas boy l used to hear the old
,olks saying that the pot can't call
he kettle black, thing that run
ned across my mind while | was
settin down eating my fish and
drinking my beer, wondering about,
and listening to some Of Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun, gathered around
their favorite spots talking bout
the only thing that we seems to be
able to ak about nowadays, us
and de whyfolks, and from what
| heard 'em saying we is still TAX
ing all us time throwing stones at
an blaming de whyfolks til its done
come to the place if you stop long
enough to hear US talk that Aine
Haggar's Chillun done all come to
be angels and all they got to do
is sprout out the wings since US
heads up the Bible reading clan,
according to one notion that we
holds onto in spite of everything,
what made me wonder at what |
heard while was eating my fish
and drinking my beer was do we
ever stop to think whilst throwing
stones at and blaming de whyfolks,
that one of the best things that
the Bible has to say is DO UNTO
OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE
THEM DO UNTO YOU . some
thing what | have been trying to
change around -kinda-Way for
the benefit of me and the other
members of the tribe to git over
the idea that added to what the
Bible says YOU DO UNTO YOUR
SELF AND TO ONE ANOTHER
LACK YOU WANNA BE DONE
BY OTHER FOLKS cause it
looks lack what dey calls logic to
me that when other whyfolks sees
you doing to yourself and yours
lack you wanna be done by first
they they will start figuring out
that you knows what the Bible
means when it says DO UNTO
OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE
THEM DO UNTO YOU and
start doing unto you lack you do
unto yourself and yours :. as one
Ole Tyne Parish Streeter said as
we hit on the subject while he was
ceptin my Satdee night hospertali-
tee we amt gonna be able to git
nowhere from here on-out til we
kin see and understand more Of
what the Bible says, and wat de
Ole folks meant when dey used to
say the pot cant call the kettle
black e.
VISITORS: The Ole Editor was
made to feel good this week after
talking to group of young fell
lows from Mound Bayou who paid
US a visit to see from whence we
hold forth. They were Luther
Dunlop, G. G. Young, o. c. Nor
man II, and Gus C. Coleman.
SOMETHING THAT MADE NE
FEEL BAD: Out at Jackson Col
lege Sunday with lot of Big Wigs
here from Louisiana, Alabama,
Arkansas, Texas, and Tennessee,
they had the Elks Regional Ora
torical Contest with President H.
| Council Trenholm of Alabama
State College presiding, who ex-
planned that each speaker would
be allowed ten minutes, with the
time keeper to stand at the end
of nine minutes so each speaker
could stop within the allotted time.
That young lady from up at Green
wood who was representing Mis-
sissippi according to everybody
had the $1,000 scholarship won un-
til the time keeper sat down and
she kept right on speaking e.
Who coached her you reckon?
The contest and the $1,000 Schol-
arship was won by some boy whose
name and picture will be big news
over in Texas, or wherever he came
from
THEY HAD A GOOD TIME:
