I WENT AIVD SAW
BY THE PARSON
No, I haven’t bought an automo
bile. Just because 1 fit so well in
that Oldsmobile, it is no reason
that I have bought it. The Oldsmo
bile belongs to Mrs. John S. Cleg
horn, and it is her kindness that
I have the use of a car. I think I
mentioned last week that I had
friends.
Mrs. C. L. Hale told me the story
,of the steward in
the church who
came home from
hearing his new
preacher preach
his first sermon to
them. He made the
remark at the din
ner table that they
had a “one-gallus”
preacher. When his
[little boy saw that
preacher, he said,
“My dad said you
are a ‘one-gallus’
preacher, but you
*
t.
got two.” Mrs. Hale suggested that
if I continue improving in my
preaching, I will be a “two-gallus”
preacher. Anyway, I appreciate all
compliments. It is my age. One dif
ference between men and women is
that women like compliments from
the time they are born until they
die. We men don’t really appreci
ate them until we get old and don’t
deserve them.
I am certainly glad that the state
legislature has adjourned. They
changed the time on us, and I be
lieve that if they had stayed ten
more days they would have chang
ed the tide. Our south Georgia
friends complain about the spring
tide, as it is the worst time for
fishing. If they had just mentioned
that to Gene Talmadge I believe
he would have had his friend, that
they know as (“Hell-Bent”) Ed
wards, do something about it. I am
not so sure that Mr. Edwards could
change the tide, but I don’t have
a single doubt that he would have
tried. In fact, he would have mov
ed the Gulf of Mexico to our south
ern state boundary if he had but
thought of it, which would have
been a good thing for Georgia.
Next Sunday night I will preach
on “Henpecked Husbands and Fool
ish Wives.” The front pew will be
reserved for henpecked husbands.
All interested wives will see that
these husbands bring their aprons
with them. One lady remarked that
her husband had better be there.
While our church is too small to ac
commodate all the hen-pecked hus-

In going into the beef'cattle bus
iness, there are two methods which
can be used, says R. E. Davis, beef
cattle and sheep specialist for the
extension service. One is to start
at the beginning with a small foun
dation of purebred cattle and build
up. The other is by the use of pure
bred bulls on native cows.
Watermelons are adapted to most
of the soil types found in Georgia,
bands, we do want to care for as
many of them and their families
as we can Sunday night. Come ear
ly if you want to get a seat near
the hen-pecked husbands.
Roy Hemphill has assured us of
some special singing. I wish I knew
who it is to be, so I could give their
names.
The Lyerly Methodist preacher,
sometimes known as “St. Luke,” will
preach for me next Sunday morn
ing. Perhaps I should have said
preach to me, for I will be sitting
in the morning where the hen
pecked husbands will sit at night.
