GEORGIA GOSSIP.       
From the Berrien, Ga. News
  It was Sunday afternoon, and they were sit-
ting under the awning in front of Bill K. Rob-
ert's store. As we walked up Gilbert Parrish
was delivering himself as follows: "Boys,
you may talk about your fancy fixing, your
silver and gold and your tin dippers, your oak
buckets, and your drinking from the spring, 
but for solid comfort and keen enjoyment give
me the old-fashioned country raised gourd -
the kitchen gourd. It must hold about a 
quart, have a long crooked handle and be
split about half way down the side and sewed
up with white thread crossed just so (here he
crossed his fingers like the letter x). If a man
will drink some of our Berrien county water
from such a gourd as that and say that it ain't
the very quintescence of pleasure, why I don't 
want to know him, that's all."
