WOMAN, 111, TELLS OF LIFE
AS A SLAVE
Elberton, Ga. America Clark,
one-time negro slave, offered this
simple explanation for her 111
years of life:
“The Lawd put me here and ain’t
took me away yet."
America—whose age claim is well
documented —was born in Lincoln
County and lived there until a few
years ago when she came to live
here with Louise Edwards, her fifth
child and first to be born free.
“We had plenty to eat, but money
was powerful scarce,” was the way
America summed up life as a slave.
Unlike some oldsters, America is
not at all alarmed about “young
folks going to the dogs” and particu
larly is unimpressed by any criticism
of women smokers.
“I used to smoke a pipe myself,”
she said, “and the only reason I quit
was because I couldn’t buy tobacco
and snuff, too. An I sho have got
to have my snuff.”
In spite of her great age, Amer
ica’s hearing is keen, her eyesight
fair and her appetite hearty.
SMILING FACES
Father (teaching daughter to tell
the time): “These are the hours,
these are the minutes, and these the
seconds.’’
Girl (puzzled): “B-but where are
the jiffies, daddy?”—Ex.
tt t t
He: “I have killed five flies, two
masculine and three feminine.”
She: “How do you know that?”
He: “Two were on the table and
three on the looking glass.”—Ex.
t 1 t t
“Dad, when I graduate I’m going
to follow my literary bent and write
for money.”
“Well, boy, you’ve had a lot of
practice, for that’s all you’ve been
doing since you left home to go to
school.”
tt t t
“Mose, that mule of yours has ‘U.
S.’ branded on his back. Was he an
army mule?”
“No, such, boss, dat ‘U. S.’ don’t
stan’ fo’ Uncle Sam; dat means he’s
Un-Safe.”
I am told that Pastor George
King, upon a recent visit to a Mon
roe family suggested their reading
a Scripture together—Whereupon,
the mamma sent her offspring to
get the Bible. “Go upstairs, look on
the table and bring us that old book
we all love,” she told him. The
youngster dashed upstairs and re
turned in a few minutes with a
Sears-Roebuck catalog.—Walton Tri
bune.
