FOLKSBURG ITEMS
P. G. Cox, Itemizer.
We had a lot of wina in Folksburg
last Monday, and it roared around ail
day and mightly near shook every-|
thing loose. Jeff Putton prophesied
freely that we'd hear of a big storm
ff somewhere, but the papers didn’t!
speak of it, and he’s been disappoint-
ed in not ecetting to remind anybody |
of his predictions. |
Simen Sloan, who has been gone for |
a month or twe, arrive | back in town |
fuésday. He came in all prepared to
be /’kept busy for a few days telling
everybody where he’d been, but seems
like not very many people realized
that he’d been away.
Emmett Tucker drove around a little
last Saturday to loosen up his flivver,
which was the first time he has had
it out since last fall. Right away Mar-
shal Bailey noticed that it didn’t have
a new license tag, and he gave Em-
mett let on like he was greatly sur-
prised, and said a body woundn’t think
how the time does fly.
Attorney Parks made a tolerable
strong talk up at the school building
Friday night on how a lot of people
don’t do their public duty by the town:
He didn’t mention any names, but se-
veral of those present got a little mif-
fed on account of they thought they
could recongnize that he meant them.
During ihe nard wind last Monday,
Adam Bird, our bachelor, took up a
position down by the postoffice hop-
ing to see several hats blow away. But
something big blew in his eve, and he
had to retire and try to get it out.
While Jud Johnson was waiting the
other day in Sam Price’s barber shop
for his turn to look at Sam’s paper
he got to telling now he read that it
will soon be so you can see over the
telephone who you are talking to.
Some of those present sort of glanced |
in Sam’s glass and thought that would
be a drawback. But they all agreed it
would save Felix Cobb alot of wasted
motion the way he always gestures so
much when he talks on the phone.
Billy Boy, the young son of Mr. and
\ Mrs. Tom Riley, was right sick last
week, but he’s a lot better now. In
fact, he’s well enough that he’s begin-
nnig to insist that Tom start buying
all the things that were promised to
him if he’d swallow his medicine
Migs Sadie Baxter had-a man come
over from Bromwell the other day and
tune her piano that had been needing
it a long time. He was suposed to
be an expert and could put 1T in per-
fect condition, but Sadie thinks he
surely didn’t, for the pieces she plays
