Had three fortunes
In my grip.
Movin’ bug got me
Had to take a trip
G’lang thar, Jerry;
Whoa, haw, Buck!
Bound fer Arkansas,
Darn my luck!
Owned a farm thar
Long ago
Hundred feet
Of salt below.
Couldn’t rest though.
Scare a minnit,
Though there wuz
A fortune in it.
Pulled up stakes
Fer further west—
Well, I s’pose you
Know the rest.
G’lang thar, Jerry;
Whoa, haw, Buck!
Bound fer Arkansas,
Darn my luck!
Then got weary,
An’ went back
Bought again
Anohtre track,
Down whar they hev
Gas an’ oil
An’ the richest
Kind o’ soil.
Stayed three years
An’ moved away—
Gushin’ gas well
Found next day.
G’lang thar, Jerry;
Whoa, haw, Buck!

Gits a cinch;
Fer if I should
Lose my hold
They’d begin to
Diggin gold.

Whoa, haw, Buck!
Bound fer Arkansas,
Darn my luck!

CAUTIONARY
A Georgia colored preacher
has more than one way of mak
ing sure that none of his par
ishioners let the contribution
plate pass unnoticed.
“We have a collection for
foreign and domestic missions
dis mawnin, bredren and sis
ters,” he announced one Sun
day, “and for de glory ob
heaven, whichever one ob you
stole de Widow Johnson’s
chickens, don’t put a cent in de
collection plate.”
SIMS GRANTED RESPITE
Gov. Brough has granted a
stay of execution for 60 days
of the sentence of S. C. Sims,
former state senator, convicted
of bribery while a member of
the legislature and sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary
and to pay a fine of $1,800
Gov. Brough says he granted
the stay in order to permit Sims
to put his business in shape.
Influential friends and politi
cians are making a strong ef
fort to have Sims pardoned.
