BILL GRAY
the black man that everybody knows and
ever; body likes, fell into the company OF
four white men on Sunday night, and got
.oundly thrashed-just because, you see,
Bill wouldn't admit that he was poor black

which died months ago and was not buried,

his porkships corpse was frozen stiff it
was not offensive, but under the rays of
the sun which has concluded to shine for

to the nose as well as the eye of the passer-
by. SO let it be buried decently, and
