AnlOl1 - AcC On ONDA i
NIGHT: There used to be an ex
preston that I often heard my
grandma use when l was a boy
when somebody was doing a lotta
talk that looked to her as less than
good sense, and she sure was hard
to fool, when she would say "They
can't see no further than the end
of their nose" what made me
think of what my Grandma used
to say when she was suspecting
of the amount of sense possessed
by the given subject, was that
while l was setting down eating
my fish ard drinking my beer, /
heard some of Aine Haggar's Chill
lun talkin bout that Million Dol
lars that somebody's putting up
in that bank in Memphis to help
the members of the tribe down
here in the Ole Magnolia, afo, as
one brother said, De 's'preme Court
gifts thru wild dat "segergashun"
and puts it rat back into the hands
of the Why Folks Knowing
that nuthing gifts by without being
subjected to the wisdom of the
Parish Streeters, l cooked my ears
to see what opinions would be ar
rived at 'mongst these folks whose
opinions are so lightly regarded by
the new race leaders who as one
old TYNE Parish Streeter told me
the other day was doing muffin but
gittin-up spittin fire and brim-
stone at de Why-folks and filling
up the ears of the members of the
tribe wild cher thing but the truth,
and still calling them ole folks
back yonder who brought US dis
fur up the road, Uncle Toms and
handkerchief heards, stead of
seeing them as DIPLOMATS and
STATESMEN, lack everybody else
sees 'em but dis new crowd that
done got in front of the tribe and
calls themselfs leading" L
nept keeping my ear cooked on
what was being said about that
million dollars whats being put up
in dat Memphis Bank, and how
BIG" US buying power is, and
how US can make the Whyfolks
see lack we see, by ordering eber
thing US wants outta dem Sears
Roebuck catalogs, till l heard
something that skeered me g.
and what made my mind run back
to what my Grandma use to say
bout folks up talkin but can't see
no further than the end of their
nose =. one brother said, s'po
all de Whyfolks do start ackin
lack dem new" leaders us got
says, dares a million of US Aine
Haggars Chillun in dis Old Mag
nolia and dat million dollars
up in dat Memphis Bank mount to
jess a dollar a piece, which aint
huff to buy a days rations
THEY SAY 1T is so: That the
Mayor of Bonneville, one of the
Old Avenues most eligible bach
elors has found somebody to help
him make up his mind and that
he'll soon be walking down the isle
to tell the preacher 81 Do"
WILL THEY EVER KNOW:
First thing that Parish Streeters
started asking the other night
when the word got down on the
Ole Avenue about that shooting
and cutting up at the Tomahawk
was wonder what that fellow shot
good looking woman lack "Stel-
la" about, next day somebody said
that that fellow King jumped outta
the hospital and ran off befo he
could be asked any questions which
means that other folks will never
know what it was all about exert
that a fight amt nothing but a
fight
THAT OLD BIRD: That carries
in his bill that little old heart
warming and family-cementing
bundle left one out at DR.. Conc
lands Hospital the other day for
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Peters, Hill
Avenue. lisa boy. His name is
Jewel Lamar Peters. He's their
second son and everybody is
well and happy.
