PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: While was setting down
eating my fish and drinking my
beer l jest kept on thinking
Thanksgiving day thoughts and
knowing as do that there amt
gonna be trukey in every home
l wasn't all the time thinking
about the turkey and trimmings
that alotta folks'll have that's in
vited me to drop by and partake.
What l was thinking about is how
Aine Haggar's Chillun from the
Ole Magnolia has made home all
over these United States during the
past few years, with lotta them
now living and making their home
in other parts of the globe, and
say what you want about the Ole
Magnolia, where there's Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun from the Ole Mag
nolia you'll find them on Thanks
giving day thinking about home,
and while lotta them wont be
able to make it, therell be lotta
them finding their way back for
Thanksgiving day, and the folks
back home, comes Thanksgiving
day will be thinking about those
who are away and who wont be
able to come back for Thanksgiv-
ing day, and the rejoicing will be
great, the feasting will be great
for those who come back to home
and the old folks for Thanksgiving
day and while l was eating
my fish and drinking my beer and
thinking such thoughts my mind
went back to these lines that l
read somewhere way back in the
days when | was a boy:
Dear the people coming home,
Dear glad faces long away,
Dear the merry cries, and dear
All the glad and happy play.
Dear the thanks, too, that we give
For all of this, THANKSGIVING
DAY.
HE'S READY: Out at friend
Joe Lundy's house the other Sun
day, l was treated to some of his
wife's most excellent barbecued
chicken, and when our talk got
around to Thanksgiving day, Joe,
who's been doing some hunting
lately, told me that his deep-freeze
is trimming full with wild duck and
geese for the Thanksgiving feast.
REMEMBERED: Howard "Sug"
Lees often expressed admiration
for his BOSNIAN, Mr.. Alex, soper-
ator of the Belmont Cafe who died
the other day, finds now that his
admiration was mutual. Mr.. Alex
in his will left him $1,000, enough
to keep him forever thinking kind
~ of the man for whom he had
worked over 35 years.
GRADUALLY BREAKING UP:
When | was boy there used to
be song they sang aimed at guys
getting married which went lack
this No more hanging around
the town at night No more
staying up till broad day light p. {.
that song was a perfect fit for Mr..
Cleave of the Alamo Ice Cream
Parlor, Mr.. Leroy Jackson, man
ager of the Alamo Theatre, and
Mr.. Melvin Jones, north Jackson
grocery store man First Mr..
Cleave got married, and the other
day Mr.. Jones got off, and | hear
they had a real breaking up cele-
bration for Mr.. Jones down at the
Home Dining Room the other night.
Which leaves Mr.. Jackson, who's
been threatening, the last to go.
SOMETHING THAT MADE ME
LAFF: That young lady with that
fancy walk and figure who stopped
to ask me How come you don't
put my name in Up and Down Far
ish Street some times -.
WHO CAN ANSWER: Without
mentioning the subject at issue, l
heard it said the other day that
when young girls sets on a pin
cushion she don't know which pin
stuck her when she jumps up
warning don't set on pin cushions.
WEEKLY QUOTATION:

fore putting the mouth in gear. =
