Just Living In The Present Tense
(Continued from page one)
Sparks from tho Anvil.
(By Cecil Dutton)
We have had our cabinet put
back in which after we get our
paper and other things stacked in
it it will give us a lot more room.
They put the book cases in and
we stacked the books in them and
it looks a good deal better.
We got two jobs oflf last week
some letter heads for Captain Smith
and Captain Maxwell.
We gave the print shop a good
cleaning up last week and it help
ed the looks a lot.
Some visitors paid the print
shop a visit last week and paid
the print shop many compliments.
Creaks from the Oxcarts.
(By Richard Mullis)
We hare been cleaning up the
mule lot and it helps the looks of
the place.
We went to the State Farm last
week after the supplies. One of
the steers has been crippled for a
long time but is getting better
while one of the others went to the
pasture.
Richard Mullis is a new steer
boy and is going to try to keep his
job.
We also went to town and got
the plumbing fixtures to finish the
plumbing in the new building.
We took a load of lumber and
fixed the bridge that had been
wrecked between here and the
State Farm.
We have also been hauling sand
and brick for the sewerage system.
We have also hauled the last of
the ch?rt for the yard squad.
Begin today to be what you wish
to be a hundred years hence. There
is no other sure road by which you
may reach the desired destination
than by living in the present tense.
Begin now. Stick to it. You can if
you will. J. E. P.
Hand Me the Roses While
Pm Living
And the Knocking When
Fm Read
I’ve noticed when a fellow dies no matter
what he’s been,
A saintly chap or one whose life was
darkly marked with sin;
His friends forgot the bitter words he
spoke but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude of pretty
things to say;
I fancy when I. go to rest some one will
bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long
buried out of sight;
But if it’s all the same to you just give
to me instead
The bouquets while I’m living and the
knocking when I’m dead.
Don’t save your kisses to imprint upon
my noble brow,
While countless knocks and bruises are
hurled upon me now.
Say the good things to me on earth
while here I mourn aione,
And don’t save all the good things to
carve upon my stone.
What do I care if when I’m dead the
Daily Town Gazette
Gives me awrite-up with a cut in mourn
ing border set.
It will not flatter me a bit, no matter
what is said,
So kindly throw your flowers now and
knock me when I’m dead.
It may be fine when one is dead to have
the folks talk so.
To have the flowers come in loads from
girls and boys you know
It may be nice to have those things for
those you leave behind,
But just as far as I’m concerned I really
do not mind:
I’m quite alive and well today and when
1 linger here,
Send me a helping hand at times—give
me a word of cheer;
Just change the game a little bit; just
kindly swap the decks,
For 1 will be no judge of flowers when
1 cash my checks.
—Kentucky Pythian.

(By Banjo Blackshear)
Since the last report we have
been very busy cleaning up the
clothes room.
The steer boys went to the state
Farm ana brought back a supply
of new sheets and pillow slips.
The plaster workers are through
plastering in here now and it sure
looks tine, also the painters have
been painting in here to and it looks
a lots better.
I hope that they will soon put
the numbers in the clothes room
for it sure helps the looks of every
thing a lots.
We have been getting along fine
in this department and have got
every tl ing cleaned up and hope
to keep it that way.
