Cash was the craziest OF the many. His
character of Simple Simon being perfect
ly represented. He was voted the prize
for looking the most natural. The prize
was jumping jack.
We do not much like to administer
rebukes, yet we feel it our duty to call
attention to the fact that uprorious
rudeness does not sustain a crazy char
acter, and we would advise visit to an
asylum to some of those who attended
the crazy social; there to get some
pointers as to how to impersonate
crazy character without losing your
own identity. We trust that some OF
the young men of this vicinity may
never again give us occasion to call at
tention to any misbehavior on their
part. Always act politely, no matter
what character you represent.
