The Wit of Bill Beard: Smoking them funny cigarettes

About: Historic picture being hung at Ol' Joe's B&B Que

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

The picture of Bill brought back a memory of someone sending him around town to find striped paint. O.K., somebody fess up to it!

I remember, too, when I worked at the old Houchens and he was a daily vistor, that one day he came in and said he had seen some people smoking them funny cigarettes.Wish I could remember some more.

s/Maurita Herron

On the striped paint, I think Bill was just enjoying playing a game. He always indulged those of us who tried to match wits with him. We always lost. A book of his quotes would be a great Adair County Christmas gift. The great thing about him was that the smartest people in town never got the best of him in repartees. -EW
