Sheriff:
You got yourselves pretty well burned out last night. Livestock, buildings, crops, most everything. Now, there's hardly one of us who hasn't got more than he can use at this time. So we've gotten together to give you whatever might be necessary to get you started again. Now, I don't want you young people to think that we've come here with charity. Nothing of the sort. You took a bad beating last night, there's no denying that, but you're not the first and you won't be the last. We know that you're not foolish enough to be feeling sorry for yourselves this morning. We've all had our share of troubles, everybody that you see gathered here today. If it wasn't fire, it was something else. Sickness, death, bad crops, one thing or another. But that's the Lord's way. I guess He knows what He's doing

Now, you got yourselves
pretty well burned out last night.
00:00:05.933 --> 00:00:09.071
Livestock, buildings,
crops, most everything.
00:00:10.003 --> 00:00:14.305
Now, there's hardly one of us that hasn't
got more than they can use at this time.
00:00:14.366 --> 00:00:18.439
So we've gotten together to give
you whatever might be necessary
00:00:18.499 --> 00:00:20.035
to get you started again.
00:00:20.001 --> 00:00:24.378
Now, I don't want you young people to
think that we've come here with charity.
00:00:24.433 --> 00:00:25.935
Nothing of the sort.
00:00:25.999 --> 00:00:29.412
You took a bad beating last night.
There's no denying that.
00:00:29.466 --> 00:00:33.505
But you're not the first,
and you won't be the last.
00:00:33.566 --> 00:00:35.273
And we know that
you're not foolish enough
00:00:35.333 --> 00:00:38.061
to be feeling sorry for
yourselves this morning.
00:00:39.999 --> 00:00:42.007
We've all had our
share of troubles,
00:00:42.133 --> 00:00:45.999
everybody that you see
gathered here today.
00:00:46.133 --> 00:00:49.137
If it wasn't fire,
it was something else,
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:55.997
sickness, death, bad crops,
one thing or another.
00:00:55.599 --> 00:00:59.513
But that's the Lord's way. I
guess he knows what he's doing.
00:01:01.233 --> 00:01:05.306
Now, folks, I'm going to call
your names off of this list here,
00:01:05.366 --> 00:01:08.087
and I want you to reply and tell
me what you're going to give,
00:01:08.001 --> 00:01:11.999
what your donation is.
00:01:11.166 --> 00:01:15.239
Whether it's a couple of days
work, or a jar of preserves,
00:01:15.001 --> 00:01:19.611
or whatever it may be. Just
speak right up. Mr. Henty?
00:01:21.533 --> 00:01:27.245
A two-year contract for their entire
output of eggs and a cash advance.
00:01:27.003 --> 00:01:28.745
Reasonable, of course.
00:01:28.008 --> 00:01:30.006
Mrs. Putnam?
00:01:30.994 --> 00:01:32.996
One dozen speckled Sussex hens.
00:01:32.003 --> 00:01:34.979
Mr. and Mrs.
Asa Pettigrew.
00:01:35.001 --> 00:01:38.001
Two suckling pigs
and corn to feed them.
00:01:38.999 --> 00:01:40.102
Jake Brainheimmer and wife.
00:01:40.166 --> 00:01:43.034
Six bags of assorted seed
and the loan of my tractor.
00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:44.673
The Burlaga family.
00:01:44.733 --> 00:01:48.203
Four Rhode Island layers
and the rooster, too.
00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:50.003
Ma and Pa Kettle.
00:01:50.133 --> 00:01:55.173
Nine two-by-fours, three pounds
of nails, hammer and a saw...
00:01:55.233 --> 00:01:56.001
And a quart of green paint.
00:01:56.007 --> 00:01:59.271
And a quart of green paint.
00:02:04.666 --> 00:02:06.999
Hey, Betty.
Come on. Hurry up.
00:02:09.987 --> 00:02:10.999
Here I am.
00:02:12.166 --> 00:02:14.001
All right, I'm coming.
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:16.999
Wanna get there
before the crowd.
00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:18.999
Yeah.
00:02:18.999 --> 00:02:21.999
I've never been to
a county fair before.
00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:22.999
You haven't lived.
00:02:22.733 --> 00:02:24.679
I'll never get a chance to
if Ma Kettle finds out
00:02:24.733 --> 00:02:27.999
I entered her quilt
in the competition.
00:02:30.499 --> 00:02:31.001
Tally-ho,
tally-ho!
