THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. POOR PRESCRIPTION Two Maine farmers had been neeting each other once a week for Tiany years on the way to market. Their conversation was usually con- toed to: “Good morning, Lem.” “Good morning, Sy.” “Nice day, Lem.” “Yes, it’s a nice day, Sy.” “Well, goo' 1 day, Lem.” “Good day, Sy.” This dialogue remained un changed over the years, unless the state of the weather required a mi nor adjustment. One particular day the conversa tion changed. In addition to the above colloquy one of the farmers said: “Say, Sy, what did you give your horse when he had the colic?" Sy answered: “Well, I gave my horse turpentine when he had the colic.” “Thank you, 3y.” A week later they met again and Lem said: “What did you say you gave your horse when he had the colic?” Sy answered: “I gave my horse turpentine when he had the colic.” “Well, I gave my horse turpen tine and he died.” “So did mine. Good day, Lem.” “Good day, Sy.” MUTT AND JEFF By Bud Fi»her JITTER By Arthur Pointer REG’LAR FELLERS By Gene Byrnes WELL.

PORCH* VIRGIL By Lan KIsis SILENT SAM By Jeff Hayes CAN’T CHEAT SANDY MacTavish stepped into the taxi and said, “Waterloo Station, my mon.” The driver quickly sized the Scot up as a stranger to London, and proceeded to take advantage of the fact by driving his fare all over the great metropolis instead of directly to his destination. At the end of three hours of sight seeing, MacTavish was finally un loaded at Waterloo Station. Darting up to a policeman, the Scot inquired, “Officer, what is the taxi fare from Euston to ’Waterloo?” The bobby told him. “Would you mind paying the driv er?” asked MacTavish, proffering the exact sum to the policeman. “I’ve a train to catch.” And with that he disappeared into the station. Tale of a Goat A Connecticut school-teacher has a prize essay on goats, submitted by a frazzle-headed, freckle-faced sixth grader—a boy, of course. It reads “A goat is about as big as a sheep if the sheep is big enough. A male goat is a butt: a female goat is a buttress. A new little goat is a goatee. Goats are very useful for eating up things. A goat will eat up more things than any animal that aip’t a goat. “My father had a goat once. My' father is an awful good man. Ev erything he says is so, even if it ain’t so. But he ain't had a goat since it ate up ma’s rose bushes. “And that’s all I know about goats.” A HIGH BID AT THAT A dilapidated car wheezed up to the toll gate of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. Its last drop of gas was gone and its wornout tires were almost flapping in the breeze. “Four-bits,” demanded the bridge attendant briskly. “Sold!” exclaimed the two weary G.I.s. Filled Up “Oh, honey, bring half a dozen mousetraps when you come home this evening,” said the bride. “Why, I just bought six yes terday!” ^ “Yes, I know, but they have mice in them!” • Money Has Wings “How can I enter the missing amount the cashier tan off with?” asked the bookkeeper. “Put it under ‘running ex penses’,” replied the auditor.
