Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 February 1913 — Resented His Defection. [ARTICLE]

Resented His Defection.

Mary and James had been good friends for some years, but with the advent of some “new children” in the block James rather failed In his allegiance for a time. The “new children” proving, after all, unsatisfactory, he returned to Mary—who scorned his advances. “You needn’t come over here no more, James.” she told him “I’ve done with you. You an’ me was friends while you didn't have no others, but I ain’t goin’ to be no last chance or common folks friends, James. You can go back to your show-off friends, for all of me.”
