An Honest Man

I mean, I believe that's our ring. Hi, Dogy's Law, I'll believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstore. This is Roman Abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Now that the old fellows have their account books all straightened out once again, and their income tax report all made out, life at the Johnum Downstore has settled down into a peaceful, easy-going routine.

As we look in on the little community today, we find Abner in the store taking care of things while Lumb is out to lunch. Cedric is just entered. Hello Mr. Abner. Come on in. What can I do for you today?

Ooh, nothing I reckon. Take stay cause I'm too busy following a fella. What are you doing here? Doing your d-techity work again? No, Mama. I had to give that up cause somebody stole my junior d-techity thing.

Oh, well, that's too bad, Traded. Well, what was you following this fella, sir? Oh, as soon as I can get some buttons from him. Boy, that's what I like. Buttons? Yes, my little buttons you can wear on your coat lapel.

Oh, oh. I want to get a whole bunch of them if I can. Wear them all over me. Mal, see, we got a couple from the fella. Yeah, well, what are the buttons, sir, Cedric?

What do they say on a boat for somebody or something? No, mama. I don't know for sure what they say. something about honesty or being honest or something. Well, I'd be proud to wear one of them myself here.

Well, I'll try to get you one too, Mr. Admiral. Why sure, I'll put it right here by my Red Cross button. You ain't saw the fella go by the store here, have you? No, Cedric.
