- There are many old proverbs in this locality, and the old people use them when they are talking. If two persons would be talking about a forward manly young person they would say,
"he was better fed than taught."
More proverbs are.
"He would put legs under hens for you."
"It is bad to be poor but it's worse to be a fool."
"Quarrelsome folk have few friends.""Fools make feasts while wise men play."
"An empty house is worse than a bad tenant."
"Fair words butter no parsnips.""Sense bought is better than sense taught."
"The empty vessels make the greatest sound."(continues on next page)- Collector
