:07:01
i'm a hero-
:07:02
howdy, boys.
:07:04
How's it going?
:07:05
Howdy, pastor.
:07:06
Howdy, luke.
We were looking for you saturday.
:07:08
Couldn't get here
no more than fly.
:07:10
Roads are getting
soggier and soggier
:07:12
between here and rugby.
:07:13
That so?
:07:13
Water is so deep
in some of them creek beds,
:07:15
had to use
old betsy's belly
:07:17
for a boat.
:07:18
Hiya, zeke.
:07:19
I reckon you could
have got here quicker
:07:21
if you'd have
carried betsy.
:07:22
Yeah. I wished
i could get me
:07:24
another mule
like old flora.
:07:25
They ain't
turning out mules like they used to.
:07:28
No, sir.
:07:28
What you got there,
young fellow?
:07:29
The very latest thing
in ladies' hats-
:07:31
the cloche model.
:07:32
Womenfolks
around here wear split bonnets.
:07:35
Young 'uns
goes bareheaded.
:07:37
Maybe so, but in
modern merchandising,
:07:38
the storekeeper endeavors
to create a demand.
:07:41
Now, in this line
of ladies' bloomers-
:07:44
very moderately priced,
:07:45
has the finest elastic
in the waistband,
:07:48
also in the knees.
:07:48
No amount of washing
will make it lose its snap.
:07:52
Your first trip
in these parts, ain't it?
:07:55
Yes. And we have them
in three lovely colors,
:07:56
which we absolutely
guarantee will not fade or shrink.
:08:00
Plenty of room
in the seat, too.
:08:03
I can tell you
these garments
:08:04
are mighty popular
with the ladies.
:08:06
You can, huh?
:08:07
Yes.
:08:08
Folks hereabouts
wouldn't know
:08:09
what them things
is for. Lem?
:08:11
Here's
your nashville papers.
:08:12
Thank you, pastor.
:08:13
I got letters here
for tom carver and ed watson-
:08:16
both back tax bills,
i reckon.
:08:18
What does it say,
lem?
:08:20
Well...
:08:25
they're a-telling
cordell hull's speechmaking
:08:28
over at jimtown.
:08:29
Appears he's out running
for congress again.
:08:32
It says-
:08:33
i mind
when cord hull
:08:34
weren't knee-high
to a toad frog,
:08:36
running around
in his shirttail.
:08:37
Just goes to show you
what a fellow can do
:08:40
if he gets
book learning.
:08:41
That paper's
four days old.
:08:43
I read it
over in nashville.
:08:44
It took luke three days
of mule paddling
:08:46
to bring the mail
from rugby.
:08:48
I can believe that
:08:49
after driving
over here from jamestown.
:08:51
Jimtown.
:08:52
I thought
it was jamestown.
:08:54
It are.
:08:58
Well, anyway,
since driving over here,
