ONE VOL. 9; NO. 25 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1946 $1 PER ANNUM About the only thing the modern girl can cook a s good as her mother ;s some man’s goose. Did you ever notice how often a narrow mind and a wide mouth go together? The reason why truth is stronger than fiction is because we hear so little of it. My wife is my boss, I shall not deny. She maketh me lie down in the cel lar when company comes. She laedeth me behind her up Main street for her hat’s sake. She annoyeth my soul. Yea though I walk through dark rooms with a crying baby half the night, I will get on rest; she is behind me with her broom and hat pin. They do everything but comfort me. My cup runneth at the seams where she throweth it at my head. My temper boileth over. Surely dressmaker’s bills and in stallment collectors shall follow me all the days of my life, and 1 shall live in mine own house with great fear and trembling. YOU POOR PEOPLE out there is newspaper-land seldom seen any good poetry, so here is a bit you can do along on until I come with some more: Mother, dear mother, Last’ to your pet. Bring birdseye and talcum, My britches are wet. Off with the wet, On with the dry. Show some speed, mother, Else I may cry. Ah! nice work, my mot.ier In ease I’ll repose. I’ll call you again mother, When the river Shannon flows. Lives of working men remind us We have never had a chance Each day we work we leave behind us New Marks of service on our pants. Pants which once were new and glossy Have lost their crease and color, too All because folks never pay us, More than half what we are due. But let us now be up and doing, Have a heart and never fret. Still courageously pursuing, Learn to live on what we get. When all our work is ended And the undertaker calls Should we have no other garment Wrap us in our overalls. And when we face the gents who skinned us They must blush to ask us why We did not wear our Sunday trousers, To the Bugle Blast on High. BANGI BA^G! Five Kansas City men went on a hunting trip. Coming to a likely looking farm, one member of the party, carefully omitting mention- that he knew the farmer, vojun- teered to ask permission to hunt. Warmly greeted by his old friend, the hunter was told that they could shoot to their heart’s content. “Oh, wait a minute, Fred,” said the farm er. “I’ve got an old horse out by the barn that I have to do away with, but I’m too attached to the old mare to shoot her. Will you do the job?” “Sure,” answered Fred. Returning to the car, Fred began to growl angrily as he approached his friends, and hurriedly loaded his gun. „ “Won’t he let us hunt, Fred? they asked. “No,” snapped Fred. ‘Ill show the old so-and-so that he can’t get away with that.” Walking over to the bam, Fred plugged the old mare in her tracks. The other four tbok one look, climbed back into the car and wheeled down the road with visions of law in hot pursuit. The foursome was twenty miles on their way home before the prac tical joker could head them off by telephone.
