The Death RoII-PIeasant Social Gathering
Church Matters-News Items
of All Kinds.
Yesterday morning, after getting up and
rubbing our eyes, We looked out to see
whether is was showing, raining pitch
forks or what and discovered that nature
had appeared in beautiful bridal attire.
Everything looked grand, and after eating
breakfast and reading the REGISTER, we
started out in search of news. No sooner
had we left home until a small boy came
along walking like he was walking on eggs.
This kind of fruit he carried and he ad-
dressed US by saying, Look out, or you
will fall, and then you will have an item"
He had scarcely uttered this until he lay
on his back with his legs pointing heaven.
lyward. His eggs, where were they? The
paper bag lay here, one egg there, another
there and the rest lying around promiscu-
ously, all broken, OF course. He got up
locked like he had seen the big Martins
Ferry ghost. He looked at the scribe, then
the eggs and started homeward crying and
muttefipg about those eggs, those broken
eggs. when the scribe began to think that
he had an item, not on himself, but On the
boy and the fall in eggs.
