Six years ago past August I bought the property known as Gildercrest and »ow it is paid for, every red copper cent of it. I hear a lot of whining about the “common man” and the “For gotten man” and their awful plight. 'I want to tell you that anyone can have a home. All you need is a wife who is willing to work like hell and pay for it! AN ANNOUNCEMENT from Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Oxner, now living in Toccoa, Georgia, tells me they have a shiny new son who will be known as Robert Carl. The Oxners have another son, Jerry, about five and about Jerry I have a story. Jerry and his mother, who were neighbors, came to visit in formally in our back yard a few minutes a year or so ago when Jer ry piped up and said, “Mama, let’s go in and look at the furniture.” When you go to the church After service leave in haste Don’t stand gazing at the door. Staring ladies in the face. An appeal to the editor of a pa per published long ago birthed the foregoing. The editor’s correspond ent was tired of young bucks hanging around when services were over “staring ladies in the face.” FACE, did you say fellow? Yes, I suppose so since a woman’s face was about the only thing open to the public view in those good old comfortable days. What change time and a pair of scissors have wrought! ODE TO AWFUL ACRES Will you go with me to the country Where the hills are snowy white Where the ’possum and the coon Fle e the hunter in the night? Where the cedar and the ’simmon grow, Where limpid waters flow. So come, oh come, my Josey dear, And to the country let us go. We will roam in early morning, When the dew is on the flower, Or, at eve, when stars bedeck the sky, Seek some piney bower. I will tf 11 love’s tender story. Gentle Josey, lovely Jo, So come along sweet Josey mine, And to the country let us go. I ASKED FOR A persimmon beer recipe here last week and I got it. I am passing it along in case you want to make some for yourself. Here it is: Take one bushel of small sweet potatoes, bake to a crisp; one bushel of honey locust or honey shucks; break up in small pieces; one bushel of ripe per simmons. Place in the bottom of a bar rel previously provided with a good spigot, a layer of clean wheat or rice straw three inches thick. Upon this layer of straw place a three-inch layer of per simmons, then a three-inch layer of the broken honey shucks, followed by a three-inch layer of crisp sweet potatoes. Repeat this order until the barrel is filled. Fill the entire mass with clear spring water. Let stand for three days. GLORY BE! Now 1 can get my biscdit from a persimmon tree! The following is from a Federal employee who asks that his name not be used. Federal employees you know are under the Hatch Act and dare not express themselves on any topic other than undying praise for the New Deal. The letter: “In reading your CAT column over the weekend I was favorably impressed with the large persimmon crop out at Golden (?) Acres. I be lieve I have the real recipe for making persimmon beer for I have made hundreds of gallons while living on the farm, and I believe if Cannon G. Blease was living today he could testify to that, for 1 have heard him rave over the beer 1 brought him on several occasions. Dr. W. P. Houseal Dies In Columbia Dr. W. P.

But he was a student all his life, and received two hon orary degrees from Newberry Col lege in recognition of his edotorial work for The Lutheran Visitor both in Newberry and Columbia and his work many years on Newberry county papers and on The State in Columbia, where he was valued as head of the proofrom. He worked about 30 years for The State. In addition to his newspaper and church periodical writing, Doctor Houseal gave much study to weath er observations and prognostication of events.
