PROGRESS NEWS NOTES.
July.
Hot and dry.
Tough on war gardens.
Dry your apples and peaches.
Can’t always tell what a fellow
is by the cigar he smokes.
If we would stop paying so
much attention to everything we
hear and take a little time to in
vestigate and find out the truth
fulness of what we hear, we would
find things considerably different
to what this “hear say” crowd
says they are.
The wormiest old worm that
ever wormed around on this old
wormy world is the wormy old
worm of a wormy old distiller.
It is a true saying, “We work
what we have.” We all have a
tongue, and bless your soul we
don’t fail to work it either.
Occasionally we hear some old
box whittler exclaim, if you know
how to do a thing why don’t you
get busy and do it ? Partner, it is
like the fellow going through the
woods and saw a squirrel sitting
on a limb. He knew just how to
shoot the squirrel, but the reason
he didn’t was because he had no
gun. So the reason a lot of us
don’t do more than we do is be
cause we have nothing to do with.
The sole reason a lot of us don’t
let our light shine is simply be
cause we have no light to let shine.
You know I have heard a lots
about hypocrites, heard people
say if there wasn’t so many in the
church I would join it and so on.
Now 1 have about come to the
conclusion that a hypocrite in the
church is one round higher up
than the stinking boogers on the
outside. His name, if nothing
else, is found among the good.
Ignorance and deception will
work very well down hill, but
never will they pull up hill.
If everybody was half as patri
otic as some old razors I have
seen, Uncle Sam wouldn’t lack for
somebody to puli for him, I bet
oha.
Mrs. A. S. Carter of Experiment
was the guest of Mrs. W. N.
Strickland Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. James Gilbert and family of
Noah’s Ark spent Sunday with
Mr. W. N. Strickland and family.
The singing at the home of Mr.
G. M. Adamson Saturdry night
was enjoyed by all present.
Mr. Pierce Dixon of Jonesboro
was the guest of Mr. Marvin Fos
ter Saturday night.
Messrs. Leroy and Clifford
Strickland attended the singing at
Lovejoy Sunday afternoon.
A few Ford loads of Flippenites
were seen passing through our
community Sunday afternoon.
I one once heard of a preacher
that preached if a man came along
and (without any provocation)
spit in your face vv'e would have
to wipe it out and sav, “God have
mercy on that poor fellow,” before
we could get to heaven. Well,
maybe we have, but I tell you, my
face may look like a spitton, but I
be hanged if I let a fellow make
one out of it and get off at it. I
will teach him a little respect or
put my kicking machine out of
business. UNCLE JEREMIAH.
