Bill Shepherd is always rub-
bing the Press Agent the
wrong way and when lie said
all the members of the Lions’
Club was too lazy to raise a
garden we decided to make
him out a story teller.
So, we hired old Willis to
break up and bed our garden
and let Billy off several even-
ings to rake out the Bermuda
embarrassing position if they
had been run. We don’t like to
take a chance,
Earl Picked of Texas City
was in the shop last week and
offered us some nice printing
jobs announcing the opening
of Mrs. Piekoll's beauty shop
in that city. He was in a big
harry for the work and it was
with regret we had to pass it
up.

his Uncle Quinton next door
for advice and I went to see

Henry “told” us how to jdow
but Quinton dropped his work
and came down to show Billy.
MY garden is beginning to
look good and if nothing hap-
pens I‘m going to take some
radishes and turnip greens out
to sell Bill Shepherd in the
next few weeks.
If a garden would grow in
the winter time and the days
were long like they are in the
summer, I‘d get lots of kick
out of working one. About the
time it gets cool enough to
work in the summer time it
gets dark and thats one of the
main reasons I’d never make a
farmer.

J. II. McKEK
For Tax Assessor & Collector:

WHY NOT COKE?
Political writers have used
up bushels of ink and scads of
newspaper space the past few
months guessing whether Gov-
ernor Coke Stevenson would
or would not run for a third
term.
A flock of great and near
greats have already announc-
ed while former Governor All-
red and ditto O’Daniels are
barking l ud and long for en-
couragement to get in.
Should the two exes and the
present ehief executive choose
to run there is a possibility
that they will come in for the
most of the publicity during
the campaign.
And if the race is between
the three they will all have to
