Ole Avenue, which saying is both
a challenge to fellows pride
and to his. good sense. 1t being
pretty generally the case, both
mongst Amt Haggar's Chilluns
and them that amt, that most
folks are too proud to admit they
don't know, and don't have sense
enough to know that the only real
sense is having sense enough to
admit that you don't known when
you don't know. My mind often
off into the past when Pm
sitting in my favorite spot enjoy
ing my fish and beer, and looking
at and listening to us all, and
what made me think of the above
was that while so engaged a broth
er walked in with one of them
freshly done mems hair-dos, which
carried my mind Immediately back
to the time during the First World
War, when was with the famous
25th Infantry Regiment down on
the Mexican Border, in which one
of my com-patriots was one Pri-
vate Happy Jack" Jackson, uke-
lele player extraordinary, and
Man-About- The Regiment, if there
ever was one. The magazines be-
ing full of pictures of brothers-o-
the-blood with their bad hair sud-
denly turned good, Brother Jack
sons appetite became violently
whetted and he was soon moved to
order hisself a batch CT the stuff.
When it came, in a great hurry to
be the first amongst us to get in
the new style he rushed off to give
hisself a treatment, and not being
so much on reading, the results
was tragic. Plastering his head
with the stuff he went off to bed
ere the dawn of the morn
that he'd wake up in the full glow
of masculine pulchritude but
d.. he was up way before dawn,
awakened by the violent action of
the hair-do remedy, which led to
the lifting of the hair-skin, and
all from his head at the hospital
to which he was rushed in pain
and agony. He managed to live
through the ordeal, but he learned
then and he never will forget the
old saying If YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
YOU'D BETTER ASK SOME
BODY.
SAD NOTE: Everybody who
knows the old tymers along the
Ole Avenue knows Charlie ct
BONE" Tobias, longtime bell-hop,
who's worked at one time or an
other at every leading hotel in
town, with the reputation of being
we'll liked by those with whom he
worked, as we'll as by those for
whome he worked. Charlie ct
Bone" the name by which he was
better known, died in local hos
pital the other day, victim of can
Ger. His funeral was held Monday
at Mt. Helm Baptist Church. The
news will be \ sad to his many
friends in all sections of the coun-
try.
THAT OLD BIRD that carries
in his bill that little old family
cementing and heart-warming bum
die. left one the other day at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Arlene
Leon Clemens. lisa seven pound,
two-ounce girl named Gloria
Jean Douglas. The Douglas is for
the grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Douglas. The Clemens
live at 1888 Cot street :. and
everybody is well and happy.
LOOKING & LAFFING: Big
argument down on the Ole Avenue
turned out into fight and when
the police came those who got ar
rested included not only them what
was engaged in battle but those
who was jess looking and laffing
but didn't do anything to stop the
fight.
KEEKLY QUOTATION: "a joke
never gains over an enemy, but
often loses a friend. Thomas
Fuller.
