However, she has kindly young neighbors who look after her coal bucket, water pail and flock of chickens for her. The Old Jackson Highway was clear enough of ice on Sunday to lure the Christmas tree hunters out to all the convenient evergreen groves here, where they soon loaded up all of the small cedars and pines they wanted to brighten up their happy homes and celebrate the Sacred Anniversary of the coming of the Righteous King of Joy and Peace. The writer wishes to suggest to downright poor folks, that a good way to save money to buy bread and meat with, is to stay at home and keep all the money they have or earn for that sacred purpose, and not be gadding around eternally burning up gasoline, then begging the people who conserve their food money.
