Some boys are born to bad luck. They
meet with all the accidents and catch all the
diseases that are going These are very dis
agreeable experiences to go through, but
when the STRIPPING grows up for some reason
he is generally proud of them. Clarence
Perkins, sou of Mr.. John Perkins, of Elkton,
IS one of the unlucky kind. Some months
since he broke one OF his legs while playing
at Vinsipger's mill. Later on he fell while
sliding down the bannisters at the public
school and narrowly escaped breaking his
neck. One day this week he fell while
getting out of the Adams Express wagon.
He bled profusely from a wound in the face,
and it was at first thought that one of his
ribs was broken. Ii proved not to be- the
case, however, and Clarence is again on the
go, ready for more misbaps. Those given
above are only the more serious of those that
have happened to him.

friends for month, but without avail.
Rev. Chas. Hill officiated at the funeral on
Sunday last. Annie Owens young girl
