FROM THE BACK COUNTRY

The only difference between drinkin’ at a bar an’ in « case is that you git tired-sooner standin’ up. If you are a tightwad, a half-pint o’ dry coffee grounds in th’ pocket will keep your money from rustin’. If it wuzn’t fer ah occasional homemade sign t’ laugh at, some roads would be mighty hard to travel. The hardest thing about gardenin’ is t’ keep from raisin’ too much lettuce. —Kin Hubbard of the Indianapolis News.
