I've seen folks out there I'd say well uh you don't look so well today. They would just look puny you know. Just like uh I remember one of our pastors on Communion day and I kept a looking at him and looking at him and I says to him right there {X} I say you look like you're not feeling well. But he wasn't feeling well. I said I got you something and then poor lesson had his son there in the mor- in the day. And about ten o'clock uh before that time I got the message that he's dead. See?

Interviewer: Good what? 748: Well with a good smile there was different than a smile and a grin you know. {NW} Interviewer: Uh. {NW} 748: {NW} There's a difference between a smile and a grin you know. Interviewer: Oh I'll keep that I'll keep a watch out for that now. Uh you'd say he's always in a good what? 748: In good humor. Interviewer: Good humor. A boy who was say always arms and legs and he was knocking over things what would you say about him? 748: Well I'd say he was mischievous. Interviewer: Okay. What about a boy who was just he didn't mean to do it he was just what? 748: Well I'd just. Interviewer: He was big and tall say and he was gangly or? Anything? 748: Mm well {NW} you didn't mean it but if when you mean it I'd say well he done so-and-so without even bringing him in. Interviewer: He's just what? 748: I just don't bring him in. That's all I know. Interviewer: He's just a what kind of person? 748: Well he's just a he's kind of a all I'd say he's just a kind of a funny acting person is all I know to say. Funny ways. Interviewer: But he didn't mean it? 748: Yeah but he didn't mean it I and I I said do something uh I've seen folks do things and I tell you what I've seen folks do things cause somebody else did it they didn't mean to do it it's done because somebody else is doing it. Keep that because they're saying something about it. Or the other folks will. Around folks uh folks around. Just like I've seen folks I've had folk come up and shake my hand. {NW} Well uh they didn't mean to do it. I I've made disposition I could tell they didn't do it for me within in here but just did it for an hour show. Just like I told you about that picture let me tell you about the picture of that thing up there on the wall. And another thing about it when I went to that uh reunion that school reunion handshakes. Back pats. And all like that. Well some of them folks meant it and some don't because others don't. Interviewer: Yeah? 748: They didn't mean it but they done it cause of {NW} they done get caught up they didn't and then the rural rule if a fellow goes up to shake your hand if he mean it there's a feeling. That uh goes with it so that you know that this is from here in here. Like if you just shake your hand you know {NW} pull bar. Torture. {NW} Interviewer: Uh you know somebod- some people uh won't ever spend any of their money. Won't give their money to anybody or anything. 748: Well I'd just call that uh well I'd call it stingy. I'm talking about needs that's what I'm talking about. Somebody needs some and you got some and won't give it to 'em they're stingy. You have to need it so uh {NW} And I'll be that it's just a way when you see a person in need in need of a dollar just make it that way. And you put your hand in your pocket and give him {NW} you give it good cause you feel like that person needs that dollar. But if I'd walk up and hand well here here's a dollar just hand just hand it and you see? And don't see no common needs no common distress or nothing like that. That's just a a gift to be given some. Without uh a sort of spiritual meaning. Just a gift to be giving someone. Interviewer: What would you call a man who never {NW} never gave any money to anybody? 748: Well as I said a while ago I'd just call him stingy. That's all I know to say is stin- too stingy to do that. Interviewer: Yeah. He is just a regular? 748: Well he. Interviewer: A regular? 748: Well uh vaguely just a {X} is all I know you see. Interviewer: What would you he'd say he's what with his money he's mighty? 748: Well he's just too stingy to spend his money for his own good that's all I know. Interviewer: Tight? 748: Yeah tight yeah. {X} Tight. Interviewer: Would you ever say anything maybe about being a tight or? 748: Yeah I would I would say {X} I've said that and heard folks said it about he sure is tight. You know what what they mean by it yeah he not getting a {D: dime} {NW} hard to get a thing out of. Interviewer: And a person who could get money out of other people? 748: Well now I've heard who can get money out of other people there's two ways to go about that. They must first show that person that they're asking for money that there isn't a tight I need that money to help 'em just like uh just like that poor {X} you see coming the other day. Every once in a while it comes pop out just wanted to pop it in there. But I know his condition. See? I know his condition and I need to just give it to him. I know he need I know I know his condition. Just like uh we have what we call a chair get pointed out at church. And uh I handled it a while and I tried not to be partial with it. Not to give it to Tom {X} No matter what they say. And if Tom were then I'd give him nothing. Give him the bowl. I tried not to you know. {X} Interviewer: Uh what would you say when you when you use the word common about a person what would that mean? 748: What's that? Interviewer: Common. 748: Common? Well {NW} I just mean that uh that person is uh he's just common and he just don't know about just don't know about. That's just his makeup. He don't know about. Just don't know about it. Interviewer: A girl if you said a girl was very common what would that mean? 748: Well if she was very common why she just a girl that that was just uh was um. In other words she just went about and had her way and then she didn't look like she'd take a care for nothing just for herself. Interviewer: Yeah? Now an old person maybe say somebody like yourself they'd say you're a mighty what kind of fella? 748: Well {NW} as a rude? Interviewer: Talking about the way you get around 748: A-a-as a rude? Uh they'd say well you sure do get around well for your age. Sure get around well for your age. Or condition. Interviewer: You're still a right? 748: And sometimes I'd say this I've wished I could do that you know have a if I live to get as old as you do.
