I Nobody's Business i *" ' Written for The Chronicle by Geo MoGee, Copyright, 1928. MY FIRST JOY K1DB ..I was 19, Tessie Lou was 17: she was my sweetheart, and 1 thought I was her'n. ,.it was August. There was to be a big all-day singing at Ebenezer church, 14 miles away, the following iSunday, and 1 desired with all of pty soul to take Tessie XiOU to that gathering. i .. ..Come Thursday of that week, I asked Pa if 1 could use the buggy and old "Pete," our slowest, lamest 'and gentlest mule, to- drive to the 'singing next Sunday. He was anxious for me to learn to sing, 1 reckon, so he studied a few minutes, bib 4. or 5 oat-straws in two, took a big chaw of ho-made tobacco, and .nodded his head, but said: "You be careful with* him and my buggy." 1 1 f' ..Come Sunday:; I was up at 6:80 polishing my shoes with dishwater grease, flattening my hair with lard, brushing up my. old blue serge, and mashing the brim of my hat back into^hape. The chickens were shooed out of the buggy, it was swept ?le*u and dusted; old "Pete" was fed 6 extra ears of corn, and curried to a velvet slick! > Tessie Lou lived 4 miles away, so I was soon on my way. . . When mo and old "Pete" drove up in front of Tessie's house, there she was, dolled up to a Cinderella finish. Pretty? You hush your mouth. Smelt good? I say?you're whistling. She got in by herself, and then we drove on toward Ebenezer. Old ""Pete" wasn't feeling very well that day, but we made betwixt 3 and 4 miles per hour in high. We talked about the pretty sun, the cute buggy umbrella, and how nice old "Pete" looked. . .We never thought of sitting close to one another. I was so nervous and^ bashful, I turned real pink when I ran over a stump and Tessie Lou fell up against me. I apologized. I had a pocket full of law goobers. We ate them in a few minutes. Then I brought out a handful of chinky-pins. She enjoyed half of them also, ana , thon I knocked her cold: 1 sneaked (out of my inside pocket) a big streaked-stripedy stick of candy. She seemed to like her half of it very much. ..We spent the ddy at Ebenezer and both of us sung a right smart. We et dinner with my Uncle Josh Brown. We had a big time talking and laughing and making faces. But we had to leave about 2:30 in order for her,| to get back home in time to, milk. Old "Pete" was still sick, but we drove right on. I never thought of holding her hand or nothing till the next day. We. didn't have much to talk about, but I counted that one of the biggest trips of my life. Tessie Lou kicked me the next week, and a year later, she married Ike Wilkins, and he never done any good either.
