It was
Wednesday and the clock was a holdin’ on full twelve noon as I entered
The Flat Rock General Store. There was this semblance of a full train
boxcar load of plantin’ ‘taters layin’ nigh ten stacks deep, full of
The Store regulars, ’long with bunches more community and area Flat Rock
folk settin’, hangin’ or propped in the rear of The Store. The whole
lot was as pure quiet as a double-dozen belly-full brown dog ticks on Mr.
John Perkins long-haired sooner mutt named Norvelle.
Slim had
the old a.m. Victrola on near full-throttle for hearin’ to all walls of
The Store—there was intense thought and some was even a takin’ notes.
It was the
WRUL A.M. 1410 High Noon Swap And Shop… Buy, Sell or Trade
It’s Fur
Sale, I Ain’t Needin’ It No More!!!
I got two
Leghorn hens and two pullets — need to sell all four. There is also a
haulin’ coop I will throw in for jist a few dollars more. Call — ask
for Cora.
There’s
two Beagle pups — one is registered and the other is three-quarters or
more, sell one or both. Would consider tradin’ ’em for a nice used
front-entrance door. Call –– Mary Nell.
I would
like to sell a signed eight-by-ten picture of President Daddy Bush and
Barbara. Also will sell a picture – it ain’t signed – of that man
President about two or three afore – now I ain’t sure if’n he was
ever President but I know he sure wanted to be ’cause he did run one
time or more. The pictures is real fine — sell one or both. Pick up at
naught 57 Co. Line before Sat. a.m. of nine.
I have two

would trade both for some natural unfinished heart pine. Call — Willie
Joe or Gail anytime.
Sell nerly
new set of crochet praying hands and toe sack full of martin goards — or

druther have red one. Call — Ask for Emmit or Duane.
Have to
sell Jimmy Wayne’s size eight dingo boots and medium cowboy hat —
askin’ $20. But, they’re worth two passels more. He’s growin’ so
fast he needs a size 11 boot and two (XX) cowboy hat. Call — ask for
Jimmy Wayne’s mother, Laura Ann.
Will do
child-setting in my home for a reasonerable charge. I don’t mind two or

seven and pick ’em up ’fore supper ’cause Evertt works days and I am
usual here alone. Call — Ask for Maw Pearl.
From up
Mama’s house I got to sell this like-new well-bucket and 30-foot of

We got
extra fur free tickets to the Gospel sing down at the Armory Saturday

You can buy

At this
here point, I decided to retreat back to my pick-up ’cause there weren’t
near one person present inside The Store who was able to talk or visit.
All was geared in thought toward the High Noon Swap And Shop in hopes of
comin’ on a pure bargain.
Estelle did
note as she exited The Store alongside me – for one of them Wednesday by
appointment-only cut and perms down to her hair factory — that some folk
were "hopin’ on a locatin’ a special Father’s Day
present."
Happy
Father’s Day!!! To all Dads…
REMEMBER
YOUR HERITAGE
ALWAYS,
THINK GOOD MEMORIES
