*« t THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. NANCY By Ernie BushmiHer NO—I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T DREAMING MUTT AND JEFF REG’LAR FELLERS By* Gene Byrnes VIRGIL r v i en Kleis SECTARIAN DIFFERENCES A party of clergymen were at tending a Presbyterian conference in Scotland. Several set out to ex plore the district, came to a river spanned by a temporary bridge. They didn’t see the notice that said the bridge was unsafe, and start ed to cross. The bridgekeeper ran after them in protest. “It’s all right,” said the spokesman, not understanding the reason for the old fellow’s haste. “We’re Presby terians from the conference.” "I’m no caring about that,” said the old Scot bridgetender, “but if you dinna get off that bridge ye’ll all be Baptists!” CONFINING, ANYWAY There’s the story of an elderly woman who, in her autumnal years, made a career of spreading what she was wont to call sunshine among the inmates of a penitentiary. Stopping outside the cell of one convict, she attempted to cheer him in the words of the poet: “Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage. ...” “ITo,” he answered slowly. “But they help, lady, they help.” Too Good for Him A farmer was in search of a horse. “I’ve got just the horse for you,” said the liveryman. “He’s five years old, sound as a dollar and goes 10 miles without stopping.” The farmer threw his hands sky ward. “Not for me,” he said, “not for me. ^ live eight miles from town, and with that horse I would have to walk back two miles.” Peace at Last The new minister was talking to the oldest inhabitant. “I be 97 years old, sir, and I .haven’t an enemy in the world,” said the aged one. “That is a beautiful thought,’* said the clergyman approvingly. * “Yes, sir,” was the answer. “I’m thankful to say that I’ve outlived them all.” Oily Flavors A man in a restaurant called the waiter over disgustedly. “What do you call this stuff—cof fee or tea?” he sneered. “It tastes like kerosene.” “If it tastes like kerosene,” said the waiter calmly, “it must be cof fee. The tea tastes like turpentine.” BEADY-STUFFED “There you are, my dear,” the bride announced, “my first turkey.” She proudly placed the steaming bird on the dinner table. “It looks wonderful, darling!” her husband responded. “What did you stuff it with?” . “Stuff it?” exclaimed the bride. “Why dear, this one wasn’t hol low!” A Real Present Attractive Young Miss—I’m look ing for something particularly nice for a young man. Salesman — Have you looked in ♦he mirror? Not AU There Professor (calling the role) — Perkins. Jones—Perkins is absent. Professor—Quiet, Jones, let Per kins not answer for himself. Not So Interesting "Tell me, do you* ever expect to find the perfect girl?” “Oh, sure; my good luck won’t last forever. I’ll have a dull date sometime.” The ‘Makin’s’ Gone Grocer — I’ve sold my rolling stock. Customer—Railroad securities? Grocer—No. Cigaret tobr.cco and papers. Alarming “Why do you always wear those loud socks?” “Well, they keep my feet from going to sleep.” Better Stay Home “Most accidents happen on Sat urday and Sunday.” “It’s a great life if you don’t week-end.” Wacky Pun “We know what a WAVE and a WAC is, but what is a Woe?” “Oh, a Woe is what we thwow at a wabbit ” SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS w5Irlna ^’roch j^or . f-^rettu, J-^racticaf ^ JlouSe Tot’s Drawstring Frock Comfortable House Frock I OOK and feel as crisp as a -< lettuce leaf in this simple house dress with its slimming princess lines and nice detail.

Finally Mrs. Donovan sued her husband for separate main tenance.
