NAME ON TIN, POSTED ON HOUSE, BRINGS THEM BACK


An' heah's anothah way, if he's gone away - if he's outa town or if
he's in town. You can
take an' write his full name - his given name an' a middle name an' his
surname - write all that name on a piece of tin an' tack it up ovah your do'
outside of the house. Nail it up there. If he's away from there, he'll
start there in 48 hours - he jes' can't rest an' you'll usually get a lettah
sayin' he's comin'.
An' if he's in town - if he left there evah so mad, when he comes back
he'll come back in a day or two an' come back grinnin'.
