ROCK ISLAND. HAPPY LAND.

We find the following in the Editors
Drawer of Hapers Hpgaziae for De
cember
That portion Of Illinois in which Rock
Island County is situated is probably one
Of the finest in the state, and its inhabitants
indulge in some tall braggery about it.
They have a story Of one Of their citizens
who skuffeled of this mortal coil, and like
all good Rock Islanders went Immediately
10 the happy land.
On applying at the Celestial Gates for
admission he was asked whence he came,
From Rock Island was the reply, MY
dear sir, observed the Concierge you
had better go back.
We presume the above is about correct
for we never have known any one who re.
sided in Rock Island that was satisfied t.
live anywhere else So Jones says and oul
chief has tried it, Besides there is par
ty of old ones around here who wouldn't
think Of knocking at the CELESTIAL Gates.
