Smith asked Pinkie Hardeman for
a date Saturday, but it was no go.
... Beware _
girls ... Do not
sit in front of Huddy and lzzie
at public places. They pull hair.
Why only the other day they rob

hair. Actually tied the strands to
gether and measured them!
Wonder why Doris Haggard was

also why Ben Reynolds goes up to

Sunday night? . . . ’Tis true ’Tis
a well established fact that a man
possesses 5 oz. more brains than «
woman and it’s also a well estab
lished fact, as statistics will show,
that there are 10,000 more crazy
men in the asylums than women!
. . . Young people, don’t forget B.
Y. P. U. meeting Sunday night.
Attendance was off quite a bit last
Sunday night, but lets try to make
up for it this week. Emma Lou
Wilson will be in charge of the
program and Emma Lou’s pro
grams are always interesting and
helpful . . . The young people at
tending, the Sunday School party
Saturday night had a marvelous
time. The next social will be the
third Saturday night in March
and all those who were absent
this time be sure to come next
time. Let’s all try to cooperate with
Mr. Gattis and do our part to help
build up the class. He is such a fine
person and such a fine teacher, we
owe it to him ... So Long folks.
We’re going to wind up the col
umn this week with a little song.
So come on folks and join in the
chorus. The tune is Sweet Gene
vieve . . .
“O Tenn-e-see, O Tenn-e-see,
The years may come, the years
may go.
But still the hand of MISCHIEF
weaves,
A little pun where it should not
go!”

With about 50 million women
running around the country I
wonder that ALL the men are not
insane.
If you look a little further into
statistics you will find that prac
tically all insane men are sent to
institutions, while 87 per cent of
the insane women are kept at
home by their men-folks (who
probably can’t tell the difference
in them.)
If you would leave the word
“not” out of the last line of your
parody it would fit the music. And
be more reasonable.
You left your own goal unguard
ed that time!
