He Broke Out of Debt
Mr. Hittem Hard wound up in
bankruptcy last week after a 7-year
struggle with adversity and all U.
quiet around his little store since the
sheriff called.
Mr. Hard went into the mercantile
business in 19 and 23. At that time,
he owned a 75' acre farm, but conditions
became so bad in 19 and 27, he
sold the farm to h'? wife for "5 dol- (
lars and love and affection."' His
creditors never did learn what he did
with the 5 dollars.
*/ N .
Mr. Hard has nothing left now except
his wife and*her automobile and
her household goods and her children
and her house and lot?which she
bought with the money she made in
the store. (She clerked on Saturdays.)
The future looks dark for
him, but he thinks mebbe they will
move back to the farm.
The oil company sent and took up
his tanks. The scale agent reposessed
his 2 pairs of computing scales.
The cash register salesman levied on
the cash register onner count of Mr.
Hard skipping 2 payments. Bill
Holdem claimed b months rent ami
got that. The tax collector quizzed
lolks and otherfc about the past due
pledges to the Tax Commission.
" i . ??
The flour and meat and lard and
coffee and sugar and crackers and
salmon had been sold and possibly
eaten up. Mr. Hard's married son
owes for the rations he bought during
the past 3 yea^and the creditors
will come into .possession of Jerry's
bill. Mr. Hard says the account i
is plumb good?provided .ferry ever
gets the money. Jerry is all right,
but is a good debt dodger himself.
The referee in bankruptcy has

charge of the "corpse" and will possibly
pay the 1 per, cent dividend
that the creditors will get within the
next year or no. The Assignee sold
the stock for 84 dollars. 'Hie assets
were 1245.00, hut all of them could
not be located, The liabilities totalled
$6,555.55, and he had no trouble
locating them..
We feel mighty sorry for Mr. Hittem
Hard/ He did the best he could
when the high cost of high living is
considered. Then the depression caused
by the stock market bust must
be considered. Ciasoline and garage
bills were exhorbitant. And the children
had to have things. Poor, poor

How to Cook a Possum
flat rock, s. C. martch, 7, 1930.
deer mr. editor:?
i have been asked to rite an article
on "how to cook a possum" and i
will do so for the benny fit of others
who enjoy possum and taters allso, :
and here is my reseat:
1. ketch the possum if possible on !
the dark of the moon up a simmon j
tree befoar midnight, but if you donT
happen to find him up there, keep
on hunting till you or the other d<>gs
tree 1. and then be cureful to cut
the sed tree down so's it won't fall
on a nuther tree and thus permit
him or her to get away.
2. don't let the dogs muss up yore
possum after same lands on the
ground as it makes the possum mad
to be bit while he is alive and that
forces hi- hart to beat faster and
the:, his meat gets tuff from exercising
his muscles prior to getting
killed with an ax handle which should
be laid acrost his nake and jumped
?n by you and hell there till she dizo.
i. ure-- the possum just like you j
