a crowd OF masked men marched up
from toward Danville and gave them
hearty congratulations. Some had drums,
rattle traps, sleigh bells, saw blades and
every other conceivable instrument for
making noise. There was not pebble
or a stick in the yard that did not turn
over; there was not splinter about the
house or yard fence that did not echo
the glad reception by laundering tones
that seemed to shake the earth around.
All the boys seemed to be sober and
not disposed to damage anything about
the place. 1t lasted from 10 to II, but
the boys got no hearing from the happy
couple, save a refusal to open up or treat,
Ii il could be found out who the boys
were, the women OF the community
would sue them for damage done the
coming chicken and turkey crop, by
shaking the eggs in the community so
that none will hatch. doubt very much
ii garden seeds sprout good, after
such terrible shaking up.
