PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Back when l was a boy
| used to hear Aine Haggar's Chill
lun singing that song that you
cont hear much now, if at all,
mongst members of the tribe, en-
titled I'M ON DE RIGHT SIDE
BROTHER, WHERE is YOU !.
Whilst they amt singing the song
no more much, they's being told
on every land from the pulpits
that De Lawd is on our side, on
which subject / was muchly re-
minded as I set down fur ma feesh
and beer, and listen whilst a group
of Aine Haggar's Chillun seated
near by INDUCED in themselves in
discussing whose side de Lawd is
on :. AS l set and listened /
heard one Brother tell, how he had
read in the Bible and seed in dat
picture show where when de Law d
stunt Moses down in Egypt to git
them Ckillun of Israel he told
Moses to throw down his rod which
turned into a snake that ct up
old Pharoah's snake, where de riv-
ers was turnt to blood, where de
insecks ct up de crops, where
somefin bad happened to de Egypt
ians ever time Moses told 'em to
let de chillun go, til dey painted
the door post wild blood, and the
tust born died including old Pha-
roah's son, foe dey would let lie
chillun go l kept listening to
see what tie rebuttal would be
. then one Brother ups and
says man, What you is saying
bout what de Bible says, and what
You seed in dat picture show bout
what happened there in Egypt is
all right but amt none of dem
things happening to de Why-folks
bout US but what l sees is de Why
Folks is building more powerful
lombs, de banks is Citing bigger,
dey's still building bigger factories
got all de money and all de jobs,
got all de governments in dcy
hands, which makes it look lack
tC me dat de Lawd is on dey
side swallowed and near
choked when he brought his re-
marks to and end by saying, it
looks lack from what / sees that
de best thing for Aine Haggar's
Chillun to do efen dey wants to be
of De Lawds side :. . is to stay on
de side where de Why Folks is }.
A HAPPY FELLOW: Bernard
Stevenson. one of the brothers-o-
de-blood did what most of us thinks
it impossible to do. His name was
drawn for the 1000 prize given
by the Jitney Jungle Food Center
the other day, and on top of that
his wife had just presented him
with their ninth baby. Everybody
will agree with him saying it
shore comes in handy.
GOOD MAN GONE: Everybody
up and down the Old Avenue knows
Chauncy B. Davis l see by the
newspaper from Los Angeles that
he is out there where it has been
announced that he has become as
ISOLATED with Harrison-Ross Fun
eral Home, as an embalmer, in the
charging and expansion program
of the Los Angeles firm.
HONEST CONFESSION: DR.. T.
f. M. Howard, of recent Mound
Bayou fame, now living in Chicago
where he is seeking the Republican
nomination for Congress in order
to unseat Democratic Congressman
Bill Dawson who he once invited
too and lavishly entertained at his
Mound Bayou Show place has dis.
covered that the Negroes in the
north are no better off than they
are in the south, and in Chicago
they're in worse fix than in Jack
son, Mississippi. He says so in On
article in the current issue of Sc
pia Magazine. No wonder he went
to a friends house in Tupelo and
said that he had made the greatest
mistake of his life in tearing-his-
shirt in Mississippi and bust
ed out weeping and crying ;.
