Notes from Prices Switch, October, 1932

• The health here is very good, except headache and colds. The weather has changed from real hot to very cool. Look for frost soon. The farmers and Mr. Boll Weevil are racing to see who can gather the cotton crop first.
• Several of our neighbors took dinner with James Garrett Sunday, it being his 58th birthday. Jim and I are not as young now as we were 50 years ago. Not as good either as we were when our father used to play a tune with “hickory” on our legs, and we had to dance to the music. It was no enjoyment to dance at that time.
• Miss Ruth Summers of Birmingham is visiting relatives at Maxwellborn. Mr. Summers section will extend to Prices Switch after Friday.
• We notice that our editor is bringing up some very interesting old records from Jacksonville and surrounding country. We surely do love to see the old things in print. Some day we will see our old friends and loved ones who are almost forgotten. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. ‘Tis a great improvement in our paper. I hope to write something about the old times in the future.
• Mr. Booler, our peddler, said he was badly disappointed week before last when The Journal arrived and the deacon was absent. Every subscriber likes the Prices Switch News, and we love them all. We would like to go into every home every week, but some people are so contrary that they won’t subscribe for the paper, but are your best friends to borrow the paper every week. We are glad to lend, but think they oughta subscribe.
• Mr. John Jackson is building a house to live in. He says it is impossible to rent, and when a fellow can’t stay in the other fellow’s house he’d better get a tent.
• Work had better open up. Farmers will soon be out of a job. Then what?
