Farmers busy preparing their

Mr. Corn Bread may tickle some

Be careful —even a pair of plow
handles can hurt you.
Notice —I will carry you to town,
will bring you hack home, plow,
haul loads, kick up dust, blow out,
turn over, get in ditches, cost
money, go forward, run back

you. So be carefTil with me. 1

If you want your uncle to tell
you what whiskey is he can tell
you in a very few words: It is
the devil in liquid form.
This day and time we peoole
have become too inconsiderate of
the little things. We would be
powerless to move the load if it
were not for the tongue in the
buckle. So let’s save the little
thing. .
Some ft Iks believe if you re
move a window and put a door in
its place, some member of the
family is going to die. If a roost
er crows before the door company
is coming. Spin a chair around
and you will get a whipping and
so on. But Isay there is as much
sense in such as there is in putting
pie crust in your shoes to get fat.
Wonder it' the devil didn’t take

why just turn her face to the north

The Easter egg hunt at Progress
school house was enjoyed by ail

There is a worm in this county
that not only destroys our crops
and profit from a year’s hard toil,
but it will eat the hat off your
head, the coat off your back, the
silver and greenback from your
pocket book. It will crawl up to
your home, eat the leaves from
the shady trees, the flowers from
before your door, then attack
your babies, tat the bread and
meat from their hands, the sparkle
from their eyes, the clothes from
their iutle backs, the shoes oil
their feet and leave them to shud
der in the wintry winds. He eats
the roses from mother’s cheek,
the heart out of her breast, then
crawls to the graveyard and bur
rows itself and drags its victims
down to an untimely death. Have
you ever seen him? It is the
worm of jj still.
