SHOAL CREEK NEWS
Well, well, most of us have a
little yellow cotton, a bushel of
cane seed and a good rabbit dog
we would like to sell to help out
on paying our taxes, but here of
late when you try to give away
something they ask you ‘“boot.”
We had the pleasure of being at
a box supper at Friendship last
Saturday night. Those people are
a wide awake people looking to the
up-building ot their community
and county.
Mr. Meers, who has been in
West Virginia several years, has
moved inio our settlement, We
welcome good citizens.
Mr. Price McGhee went across
the mountain last week with Prof.
Dyer. Price said something about
there being a lot of home-made
sorphum over there. It seems like
he said they were running all the
corn mills with syrup instead of
water. Now we are not sure he
said that and since we come to
think about it we don’t much be¬
lieve he did. Well, in fact we
know he didn’t, but ‘T’ll be dog¬
gone” if he didn’t say there was a
whole heap of the sweet stuff'over
there. Yes, we are pretty sure he
said' something about something
sweet away over thar.
Christmas will soon be here and
among many it wiil be enjoyed as
always. But we can’t tell the
numbers who right here in this
laud of ours who will get up
Christmas morning alter passing u
sleepless night trying to concieve
some way to pay debts that are
dt»f, In this plight rise Christmas
morning and instead of seeing his
children rejoicing over nice pres¬
ents and clad in new clothes, many
little ones and even grown ups on
that grand morning must put on
their old shoes with holes in the
toes and when breakfast comes its
the same old bread, syrup and
bacon. To those who are in fair
ciicumstances it is hard to com¬
prehend or realize how many right
among us are down and out and
have learned not to complain.
Well, there is one consolation if a
fellow can’t change color in clothes
lie can change color of hair by
waiting, for it will get white after
awhile.

Mr. John Hamilton our efficient
coroner, was passing this way to
peddle up to Helen. He has never
had opposition only once and he
defeated his opponent so bad that
he at once got ready to leave the
country. They say John has
power to take the Judge off his
seat.
Mr. J. VV. West, of the N.G. A.
College, must have given the
teachers at Cleveland a good talk
last Friday. In former days he
was known as “Uncle Jake” and
had charge of the boy’s dormitory
and was known as an apt scholar
and a deep and ready reasoner.
Have you seen Lake Simon on
the property of Mr. Charlie Bar¬
rett f As you travel over Western
Texas they tell you it is so far to
certain rivers but when you reach
there it is nothing but a river bed.
The snow melting on the distant
mountains in the Spring make a
river but the rest of the year they
are very dry. So it is with this
lake, it is dry now, but the waters
will soon cover the land.
It was tax paying time in all
Judea and Caesar Augustus sent
out a decree for all to come to
Bethlehem to have a tax levied. So
Joseph and Mary went up to Beth¬
lehem from Nazereth on foot.
After their taxes were paid they
didn’t have money left to stay at a
fine hotel, but as that land is near
the equator and is warm they stay¬
ed in a manger. So this was the
birth place of the King of Kings.
Santa Claus is now getting very
bold lor he actually visited Gaines¬
ville in open day light and all the
kids got to shake his hand and see
him face lo face. We are afraid
lie will lose some of his romance of
former days. He will still visit
this section in the darkness of the
night by arriving over the Appa¬
lachian Scenic Highway and com¬
ing down the chimney just before
day. The chickens have begun to
crow nearly all night and the moon
shines very bright tell all he wiil
soon be here. Y^ou saw him com¬
ing down the sidewalk. He seem¬
ed to be nearly perfect. But he
was not for he carried an ugly
skeleton and a rabbit’s foot in his
pocket. He was born on the 13th
of the month and it being on Fri¬
day. He knew the 27th power of
zero and also Ann’s age, but he
was cruel. He was followed by a
bull dog who had his ears trimmed
and his tail had a bob as he cipher¬
ed along by putting down one and
carrying three. The end of time
seems to be a long way off.

Surprise Birthday Party
Given F. G. Hauney
A man may get so engrossed in
the affairs of business that he may
let his birthday slip by. However,
there is someone to remind him
that he has again rolled the wheel
of time and fast making his way
toward that sod occasion in every
man’s life when the old man with
the aythe gets the best of him.
Well, Floyd Mauney had a birth¬
day Monday. He is some busy
man, too. Y'ou know he handles
lots of other folks money, and it
kindly worries him because he’s
not getting what he thinks belongs
to him. So the poor fellow just
let his birthday slip up on htin.
But—well, he didn’t get by with
his forgetfulness, not on your life.
Mrs. Mauney handled that for
Floyd, if hi did forget that he had
reached the ripe age of thirty-two,
and gave him a surprise party.
Several of Floyd’s close friends
and relatives took part in the oc¬
casion.
Somebody gave Floyd a birth
C ufce. We bet it was Mrs.
Mauney. Anyway, if he ate all ol
jj by himself he must be some
sweet man now. Several useful
presents were presented him.
A number of contests were held
and interesting games played.
