Show Chatter Box tJear Suzy, People at the celebration Saturday Sat-urday afternoon were somewhat appalled at the appearance of Gov Lee as the afternoon progressed. Gov. Lee always shows up here spick and span and as neat as a pin, and the contrast that was apparent ap-parent to all was somewhat startling. start-ling. But it was not the fault of the Gov., but one Jay Bennett, lo-ca lo-ca farmer and celebrant on any occasion. It seems that Jay made the acquaintance' ac-quaintance' ol! the Gov. and was smitted with the tie Brack was wearing. He brooded on this subject sub-ject for some time and in a talk with Morgan Edwards made the desire for the tie known to Morg. Now Morgan, or any of the Edwards, Ed-wards, will raise to a bait when it is towed past their noses, and Morg could see an easy penny to be made by making a small wager with Jay that the Gov.'s tie wouldl remain on Brack, and Jay would go home with an open neck on his shirt. The affair of the wager was equitablly settled with the two men betting two sacks of seed each, vice versa and according to Hoyle. Now there are some people who wouldl think that this was actual betting and was against the law and practices of good peo pie. But these same people don't know about seed. The seed bet was alfalfa seed and this year it isn't worth .anything so the men just made an idle wager and went through the motions by betting nothing against nothing. Jay fortified himself to approach and Gov., or at least ask him for his tie, as he wanted to see Morg look down his nose when he lost the bet, and on Morg that is not a short distance. So Jay braced himself and tackled the Gov., asking ask-ing for the tie and stating that it had become the love of his life and he couldn't sleep nights without with-out that particular tie. The Gov. was just finishing with a bracing ride in the 1902 Oldsmobile and as he had been introduced to Miss Utah earlier in the day, felt good and didn't oare much about how he looked from there on out. So he whipped ofl the tie and before Jay couldl say statistics, same tie was draped drap-ed about Jay's neck and he made his way to Morg to demand payment. pay-ment. Now the Gov. made several mis takes in giving the tie to Jay. The toremost ana tne one tnar. is going go-ing to cost him a pretty penny when he comes to Delta in the future fu-ture will be that his wardrobe of ties will soon be depleted with the people asking for them instead of autographs. Too, he made a mistake mis-take wasting a good looking tie on Jay. Jay never wears a tie, and he is a Republican and Brack will get Jay's vote, come hell or high water. And, too, the tie was cut up into small pieces to present to the admirers of Brack, who wanted some memento. Brack shouldl have given it to some undecided voter, or a Democrat, Dem-ocrat, and as a last resort to a school teacher. It would have made much more of a stir and been far more effective. Anyway the Gov. will have to buy his ties wholesale if he makes any further fur-ther appearances here. Shirley Owens has a new system sys-tem of baby sitting that she intends in-tends to work out in the fture. Next time she needs a baby sitter she is going to get one, then go out with the sitter and leave Gene and the baby home with their bottles. bot-tles. It seems that the other night when they went to the celebration celebra-tion and then returned home Shirley Shir-ley left to take the baby sitter home and left Gene to tend the baby. On her return she found Gene in the bed with the baby, and the bed was badly broken down, and Gene was pleading in a plaintive wail, "Mama, please bail me out." For the bed had caved in and Gene and baby were strewn about the floor with the slats of the crib giving Gene the feeling that he was not home, but had been out with the boys and the law had placed him in bed. Gene is going to take it rather hard if Shirley decides on male baby sitters, about voting age. Toots. |
