t > »»» »»»»»; uGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 19944 THAT KIND OF LIAR D. V. Knight says he is going to take over Gildercrest, prop his dirty feet against my Colonial col umns and squirt tobacco juice on my lawn. He is going to come by all this thru a suit for damages because I said he was a liar. The only hitch is that the burden to prove that he is NOT a liar rests upon him in any man’s court. We have some pretty good lawyers but none THAT good. However, in order to ameliorate him a bit we will modify our first state ment to this extent: He is not a malicious liar—just an unreasonable, unseasonable, unjustified, unmitigat ed liar. PAYING THE PIPER There has always been a warm place in my affections for my clod- happing friends but I got a sort of devil’s glee out of their having to pay income tax last week. I have been telling them for years they would have to pay for all the FDR boondoggling but they seemed to I like the “new order” until it came j time to pay the piper—the 15 billion | FDR tossed into the rat hole. And the calamity cf it is that they don’t, have a single thing to show for their money. With we city slickers its different. We have Margaret Hunter park to recompense us. I go there every Sunday morning to get some of my money back. I walk around and look at the pretty flowers—no, I stare at them. Then I smell everyone in light. I don’t just go ’round sniffing j either. I stick my proboscis right i into the bloom like a humming-bird i and smell for all I’m worth. Next I go 'round and pinch the shubbery and roll over and over in the grass, then take off my shoes and wash my feet in the branch. I have enjoyed pfoout 90c worth by this time so I sit down hard on one of the rustic bridges and rest awhile. After a few minutes wear and tear on the bridge I get down on my belly and drink a gallon of water out of the swimming pool and go home. Yes, we city slickers have some- . thng for our tax money, but you ; country boys! Well, you will just ! have to continue to get your fun I out cf looking a mule in the tail and make some more money for your old friend of by-gone days—FDR. DR. J. E.
