fARlSH STREET. SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: was settin down
eating my feesh and drinking
my beer, and indulging my IA
vorite passtime of listening to
what Aine Haggar's Chillun has
to say about current affairs
natural and supernatural and
heard one brother tellin his
friend, Man, / sho wooder lack
to been way up in de middle
OBJ dat sky wild dat fellow John
Glenn, a something which gave
me the assurance that with Aine
Haggars Chilluns, as with ev-
erybody else, the fete of the AS
tronaut had struck a high re-
Spouse cord of praise and ad-
miration hut now later
see him rising to new heights
among members of the tribe
when they read where he
preached a sermon in his church
last Sunday This is es-
pecially so, as despite some
show of sophistication lately,
Aine Haggars Chillun who be-
lieve truly believe dat de Bible
mean eber thing dat it says
and in his sermon Astro-
naut Glenn said the sun is
circling in an orbit of it's own
every 200 million years
Longtime ago, mongst the men,
bers of the tribe, despite Gal
lileo, Copernicus, and anybody
else you could name claiming
knowledge about how things
work up in de hebens, Rev. Jas
per, whose fame ranged far and
wide, basing his knowledge on
the fact dat de Bible says dat
de sun stood still whilst Joshua
fit de battle O. Jerrico, was
calling sinners to repentance by
proclaiming that DE SUN DO
MOVE and predicting that
if it ever stood still again it
will be for the raising of the
dead and for passing afo de
judgemint bar Yes, Sir, a
far as Aine Haggar's Chillun
are concerned it looks lack with
all the praise and acclaim that
he got for becoming the nations
first man to orbit the earth, AS
tronaut Glenn is in for still
greater praise among members
o de Tribe Oh Haggar, as a
preacher, for having confirmed
the wisdom of Rev. Jasper by
pointing out dat de sun do move.
FOLKS APE TALKIN G
ABOUT: The young High
School Teacher here who this
week was called from his class
room and arrested on a charge
of Bastardry and G. w.
Willis who is in a local hospital
suffering from injuries receiv-
ed in an auto accident in which
u white woman was killed and
her daughter injured.
ALONG THE OLE AVENUE:
The pathetic picture of the
young woman heavily weighted
with child still waiting in her
lawyers office at six-oclock in
the afternoon, for her pastor,
who promised to meet her there
at eleven in the morning to sign
a $3.50 bond to get her husband
out of Jail where he was being
held on a auto license charge.
SOMETHING THAT MADE
NE LAFF: The sudden change
of expression on the fellows
face intently watching a very
good looking, well-dressed wom-
an walking down the Ole Ave-
nue., when one of the Kats in
the crowd said, she sho do look
alright, but she's got seven
children.
