THIS & THAT
by emily b. miller
A sleepy crowd rolled in, from the 4-H camp Saturday morning, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Sisk drove to the camp early, bringing some of the kids home, the rest arrived around 12-noon, dead tired but happy. All next week it 11 be, Do you remember the night? or the time we sneaked by Gladys Reid and Mrs. Gentry? Wasn’t that fun? etc. . Wasn’t that girl home sick? . . . Oh, for the life of a child again.

The life of a shopkeeper is certainly not any bed of roses. The coca-cola box was just running and running, so I bad the bright idea of putting dry ice in the box. I not only stopped it from running but froze all the drinks and broke several bottles and had to clean the thing out the next morning. Always have heard experience is the best teacher but the hardest. I agree.

Understand from Mrs. Frances Thornton prices are certainly going up. Mrs. Robert Massie is having a time with the antique organ she purchased from Mrs. George Davis, and getting the water at her house straightened out. Seems Mrs. Milton Gore can’t stand sticky hands. Jock Brown is having a time keeping the Courthouse gang straight. (It’s impossible, Jock.) Rodes Brown reports the new daughter is doing just fine, but wakes up several times during the night to eat. "Why can’t she eat enough to last till morning?” Judt give her time, Rodes. Jimmie Settle has some* beautiful etchings in his office, I understand. Saturday morning, Brooke Miller is in town and the regular gang is lined up in front of the Courthouse. They do deserve new benches as faithful as the men in Courthouse Row are to them.
