To Be Ventriloquists

On the down store, this is Roman Abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. I'm a free man. The courts could find no basis for a trial against him and drop the case.

So once again, the old partners are reunited and are happily running the jot him down store together. As we're looking on the little community today, we find the old fellows in the store. Rum is hard at work on the financial records.

Cedric has just entered. Hello, howdy, Cedric. Hey, Mr. Elder. Come on in. There's some. Ain't no use talking to lumps, had their keys cawful trading on the bookkeeping. Been added all morning long. Just tickles him to death to be working on them books again.

There's some. Well, at most, the amount of time he spends on them. I done all the bookwork while I was on the store here, alone, and they would take me more than five or 10 minutes and just pierce to take him hours to do it.

Hey, Abner, here's another entry I can't figure out. Can't hardly edit long. Oh, we go long, been waiting in books alone. He's sort of forgot how to do. I got Grand Pappy Spears charged with seven or something on one day and two or something the next day and three the next day.

But he don't say what that's something. Take, I don't recollect selling Grand Pappy nothing. What day was that that seven's down there for her? Oh, on a Tuesday. Tuesday. Oh, that last Tuesday, yeah. Yeah, I recollect now.

Oh, them just a record of tech or games that grandpa win from me. Very good, they say. Put the stuff like that in the books. No wonder I can't get nothing about them. Well, we had to have something to keep score on.
