I didn’t know until this week that 77 million pounds of mustard seed are imported into this country every year. That sure would cover a lot of hot dogs wouldn’t it?

Well, the new year is here and I guess I’d better make my predictions of what I think will happen during 1975. So here goes:
Joe Swindle will buy himself a new pair of overalls.
Dale Dean will be named Postmaster General but will refuse the job.
Russ Shay will build a steakhouse at the Ellington Motel.
Johnny Hesson will finally learn how to drive a semi.
Jim Durham will get a new haircut.
Loryn Atwell won’t lose any weight.
Billy Dan Carter will finally go to work.
Bill Speck will decide to run for mayor of Lafayette.
Tooter Jenkins won’t make another trip to Rivergate Mall.
Harris Howser will stop telling dirty jokes.
My mother will remain 39 years old for at least one more year.
Bill Green and Ronald Dycus will open a toupe shop in Lafayette.
Jeff Goodman won’t threaten to resign from the city council this year.
Charles Jordan will make another trip to Florida to buy another monkey.
Jimmy Glover won’t get married during 1975. Neither will Frank Farrar.
The city of Lafayette will turn all the street lights back on.
Wardean Perdue will still be complaining about most everything.
Jimmye Chitwood will smile at least once during 1975.
Ray Road will take a soil sample and discover gold in Macon County.
The price of gasoline will increase to the point that Homer Blankenship will deliver his mail by bicycle.
And that’s enough of that foolishness.

Loryn Atwell presented me with what I thought was a nice Christmas present until I opened the package and discovered a 1973 calendar.
But later he felt sorry for me, and gave me a box of candy, which I refused to accept at first but after he apologized for the dirty trick I forgave him and took the candy.

I attended the Peach Bowl in Atlanta over the week end, and enjoyed that trip and the ball game. But that’s one city where I would hate to live. After 5:00 p.m. the streets of downtown Atlanta are deserted. I don’t blame those folks though, if I lived there I’d want to be home after dark myself with all the doors locked.

D.T. Jent was telling me this week that he expects to close out Lafayette Dry Goods by the middle of February, and possibly earlier.
++++++++++
And at this time we would like to wish each and everyone of you a very prosperous 1975.
