An Old Couple From TurlSeytown, Cecil
County. Ask for the "rhermonieter's''
otflce--They Were Looking for the Pro-
thonotary.
An ancient couple, evidently grangers
from Turkeytown, Cecil county, Md,
were met by the reporter in the county
court house corridor on Friday, anx-
iously peering at the outside of Register
Cooch's office. The expression ON the
reporters face as he drew nigh to the
old gentleman, probably suggested a
source from which the desired informa-
ton was obtainable.
At any rate the granger sided up to
the newspaper man and propounded the
question, "Bud be this the Thermome-
ter's Office ?"
"Whatll oh--yes; guess you want
the prothonotary, eh?"
"Thats him, sonny"
The old couple were then escorted K
