-Ap Frierson, that wonderful specimen
ofClarendon human vitality, who some time
ago had part of his head knocked of, and
his brains partially spilled out, is so far re-
covered as to be able to walk about the
streets of Foresson. But it is said he daily
crows more irritable and rnruiy, and that
his folks are getting tired Of it. A slight ef-
fort was made to get him into the Asylum,
but he in not crazy, and cannot so there.
An effort is now making to get him into the
poor house. They may put him N the
poor house, but We are mistaken If be wiz!
stay there. But anyway his folks are
mighty tired of nursing him, and want so
pe, him of on the public in some wsy. We
make suggestion to some Of his Foreston
friends: Let them obtain q room for him
somewhere convenient to the picnic
grounds, and charge ten cents admission
fee 10 see him Twenty or twenty-five dol
lars might easily be realized. The doctors
who have been attending him might make
the arrangements for him, and by goAne
.halTes" with him realize little for thell
medie& attention. Only suggestion.
