The Smith (Inn Reunion.
deer mr. editor: j
the smith otr.springs of this section
had n big re union at the late
residence of mr. John smith last
friday, and as my great grampaw.
was a smith, and beings us i am the
flat rock t-orry spondent, i was invited
to same and was voted to rite it
up for the papers.
nearly all of tho smiths known
to science was at this great re-union, I
as the food was furnished free by
widder smith, the wife of the late;
I jhon smith who is. dead, he passed'
lout in lU2i> when cotton hit a new,
[ low. she got his insurance on a recent '
I date which was hell up onner count
I of it looked more like suicide than the
| trigger caught on the fence, and then i
she give the re-union.
noddy smith and his U younguns
were there from over the rivver in
gcorgy, and lie has benn trying to
preeeh, but has newer got any fur-j
ther along than & churches on one,
circuit which pays him all told about
7f>$ per year in veggertables ansoforth.
good preacher* serves only 1
church, he newer brung his wife
as she had to stay at home and take
care of the little children.
several peddigrees of the smiths
at large were read and upproved.
the fa mi ley tree had bonn misplaced
and was not discussed. Miss jennie
veeve smith, our afftcient local scholl
teecher, was present and played sevveral
nice tunes on the organ, but she
is not related to the jhon smith clan
by birth,' death, marriage, or other
wise, as Rho in from the perkins
smith element from further south.
' everything - was enjoyed by all.
yore corry spondent made a fine talk
on "herediterry instincts." he proved
that nearly all of the smiths were
just alike except elleck smith, and he
is redheaded, but noboddy knows why
the rest being either black-headed,
or ball-headed, after singing, "shall
we gather at the river," we all went
home fairly well sattisfted with the
re-union.

My feelings have been hurt bad.
I usually park my our in front of my
office... .except when it is raining,

..And that's what hurt my feelings, fl
I bought that car brand, spankfired j
new in November 1926. I had it-^j
washed in 1929, painted in 1930, andfl
washed again in 1931. So you see, u
I have taken good care of it. I had
the roof patched in 3 places not over
a year ngo.
..I even went to the trouble of hav- i
ing the valves ground 3 years ago,
and have changed 3 spark-plugs -.fl
since I bought the car. I do not seriously
object to running on 3 or 4
cylinders; I guess I save gas by not fl
using ail of them, but I ain't stingy, <9
mind you; I'd use them if they |H
would fire, but they won't.
..I wouldn't think of taking $15.00 fl
for this car. The license - plate cost I
me $12.60, and if L were to sell oUV fl
for $15.00, I would have only $2.40'3

suited if they had let their sign read ij
as follows: "This nice car can be j
bought for $30.00 with tag included; fl
she runs good, stops quick, and ha* fl
a wonderful pick-up." Meaning nail?.,^B
and tacks. . ;fl
..I have tried to trade my car for j
4 years, but nobody has ever agreed
to accept it as the "down payment?.fl
and, naturally, that always broke up fl
'he trade. I don't have any trouble I
ith it except when I ,?o around a
nrve, it cuts off, and I can't back i
.:, and it shimmies in cool or cojf j
vr warm or hot weather, and it back- j
fires, and always chokes down for red j
lights.
. .1 think I'll buy me a new car whefl 1
congress adjourns, and the
models are reduced to $35.00, includ- j
ing the tags, windshield wipers, taiP^fl
light, etc. I don't think I shall
speak to those 2 smart guy* whofl
