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. —UNCLE JIM.
