SPECULATIONS
AND
Ismt OBSERVATION
In roaming around
We ran into a group of politicians
on every corner. They were telling a
throbbing populace just what they
could do to save the county and state,
and the groups were taking it all in
. . . The H. 0. Balls are back from a
delightful trip to Florida and Nas
sau, and now they have Europe on
their minds .... Bob Ripley died
too soon. Here’s another “Believe It
Or Not” story. Mrs. Rebon Maddox
dressed a hen the other day and the
liver weighed an honest-to-goodness
pound. Now what do you think of
that? . . . When Barry Jones got
paid off for being a Senate page for
a week, the clerk took out two and
one-half dollars withholding tax. He
was shocked and turned to his asso
ciates who hadn’t yet experienced
the squeeze and said, “Just think,
they took out $2.50 just for noth
ing.” That is the same idea a lot of
other folks have, too . . . The H. M.
Moores are having a delightful trip
in Florida this week. They visited in
Jacksonville, Gainesville, Geneva,
where Jackson’s beloved Nortons
spend the winters, and on to Sarasota
where they are attending the Water
Carnival which is more or less a jun
ior Mardi Gras. The mayor of Sara
sota is a cousin to Mrs. Moore which
insures them a place in the Mayor’s
Box at the coronation festivities
when the King and Queen will be
crowned on the last day of the Car
nival . . . The word “Acres” figures
in the names of two pretty country
places not far from Jackson. The
Frank L. McCoys have named their
place on the Worthville Road “Grey
stone Acres” while the Jimmy
O’Neals have given their country
home the glamorous sounding name,
“Lazy Acres,” which might symbo
lize freedom from work . . . Jackson
can boast of a versatile Presbyterian
minister. Kirk Nesbit of the Jackson
and Fellowship churches can wield a
hammer and saw and a paint brush
just like a veteran. He contributed
much of the labor on the redecora
tion of the Jackson church, and is
now laboring on the new Sunday
school rooms at Fellowship. Then,
too, he is a fine entertainer and has
been given thunderous applause on
several monologues at different
gatherings. His members like to
chide him telling him when he gets
tired of preaching he can take up
night club entertaining . . . OLD
STUFF: Three things you cant re
call: The spent hour, the spoken
word and the dollar bill.
