THE COVINGTSN NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA
iOther-thingsj Things and
| I
I would like to meet the wise old
guy
Who knows the things he ought
to know;
I bet he winks a curious eye
And says his sayings mighty slow.
I bet he thinks before he talks,
And always looks before he walks.
Dear old man Folks, I have just
gotten in from a trip out in the
wood. I was sort of checking up
on when hickory nuts will be ripe.
I think sometimes that there is
more nuts in this old world than
there is anything else. While sort
of strolling along with none other
than Myself for company, I could
not help but pick up a bunch of
rite amusing thoughts, here and
there. Once or twice I got rite
tickled and wished some of you
had been with me, so we could
have a good hearty laugh together.
I believe anyhow that most of the
thoughts that are worth our while
are roosting somewhere out in the
wood; the cities and towns are too
fast for them, and they know they
can't do much developing in a
place where there is so many oth
er things a-doing.
In one of my little poems I fixt
up for you the other day, I told
you how I liked to ramble, from
one hill to another hill, and on and
on, just to see what I could see,
for life is interesting that way.
And so I came upon the hickory
tree I was looking for. It was
hanging full of nuts of every size
and description. Some as big as
my doubled-up fists, and others all
swiveled up like they were fixing
to fall off from the tree. But.
Folks—every one of them nuts
were green!
I stood rite there and looked up
at them nuts for about twenty
minutes, just a-thinking; for a
great big thought had crawled up
on my shoulder, and was pippin’
me on my ears. I felt like it had
something to say, and it whisper
ed: “See this great hickory tree
a-standing here? It is a big tree,
and one of the strongest trees we
have in all our world. But look at
the nuts! Some big. some little
and all swiveled up, and some with
worms in ’em.” And I noticed, too,
that every one of them nuts were
green.
Fellows, I wish you had been
there with me to have helped me
with that thought. It struck me
like lightning and I was dum
founded, if that expresses me.
That great thought began to turn
itself into a picture, and unfold it
self to me, and here is what I saw:
The world seemed to be a very
great tree, with many, many great
branches all about it. And me and
vou and everyone else were hang
ing on to them branches as nuts.
And every one of us was just as
green as we could be. I saw my
self a-sitting on a very weak twig,
way up near the top of the great
tree. I had crawled up there be
cause I thought I was getting up
in the world. But I couldn’t keep
my balance, the winds were about
to blow me clean off the tree.
And on looking a little bit more
closer, I noticed that I was all
swiveled up and much undevelop
ed. I saw a great many people
whom I had seen many tim^s aboui
town, both women and men But
many of them were in very funny
fixes, and barelv managing to
hang on to the tree, But I must
rot tell everything I saw. There
was a nut to represent everybody
I had ever seen, in all my travels,
from hill to hill
This story hasn’t ended yet. I
saw a great preacher and prophet
in the picture, and we learned that
his name was True Facts. He
walks up under the tree and we
I all tries to talk to him, but says
j he: “Ye Yea, nuts when will all the be work’s ripe next all
fall.
done—next fall, It will be then
before ye hulls turn brown. So
sit as quiet as ye can, and keep
down so great a noise.”
I know I am a swiveled nut.
And hanging weakly on a limb,
And Father Facts would call me
“Mut"
Should I go jabbering at him.
I know my hull is soft and green,
And bugs may work their way in
side,
For in this picture I have seen
Some things I think can’t be de
nied.
