The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1921-04-06

The Hon. Edward Gregory has got
HIMSELF into a damage suit or some
thing. Why1 Because he has ruined
our matrimonial prospects. Has led
, the girls to believe we had been kicked1
out of the Bachelors Club on account
OF the age limit. Speaking of age, we
met Mr.. James Meador, we asked him
how old he thought Mr.. Gregory was,
That man has been writing real es-
tate booms for Cloverport since the
crime of seventy-three and have been
told that he has been on earth twice"
The other day Mr.. Gregory walked
into John Wisenberg's place of eats
called for a dozen frog feys served
a-de-Iea- Null "A-de-Lea what:
says Oscar the head waiter, with his
eyes bullying out. we are just out
dat and Old Null is so law he won't
skin dem frog as fast as Mike DePike
can cook 'em but | can fix you up
tadpole stew (. G.. gagged a time
! or two and out he went.
We walked into Wisenberg's place
the other day, Mike DePike Alexan-
der was figuring on the bottom of his
egg skillet. What are you trying to
figure out Piksi" says we. Trying to
! figure out what Ernest Popham's
cornering the misletoe market had to
do with Old Mull's frog ranch"
Here are the names of officers of
the Asbery No Work Club for 1921:
Jas. Meador Chmr Edward Gregory,
Secretary; Horace Gilbert, Treasurer:
John Hemphille, Doorkeeper. Old
Null tried to brake into the No Work
Club, but they decided he was so lazy
he wouldn't attend the meeting so he
was rejected.
The other day we met Horace Gil
bert in an awful hurry, Whats the
matter Horace, some one sick?"
Nope going down to DR.. Parrish's
to get vaccinated." What smallpox
in town some more?" mo, Harding
has just taken his seat as President.
Work is liable to brake out at any
time" We disappeared around the
corner,
June Carter springs this one on
John Carter. John and June took a
little trip to Louisville and Lakeland
last week, took the popular river rou6~I
aboard the good steamer, NashvilleN
| When they were in sight of Derby,
Ind, John says to June, wonder if
this boat will land at Derby?" June
says, 81 don't know. ask the Captain
Edgar Williams" Say Capt. does this
boat land at Derby?" mo sir, it does
not Well, John says, IF the boat
don't land | must, so over the guard
sail he plunged. June saved him by
grabbing him by the coat tail as he
went over.
Dear Uncle Ben our frogs are grow
ing fast Some of them are large
enough to hollow jugerrum. A pro-
hibition officer arrested four of them
last week for making a noise like that
under the Volsted act AS soon as Mr.
John Duke, well known frogoligist
and school teacher arrives from the
bottoms you will see things hum on
the ranch. Mr. Duke, Celestine o.
connell and Alfred Popham will be
initiated in the Bachelor Club as soon
as we can erect an arena. On ac-
count of their Length will have to
initiate them in the open. A few cents
admission will be charged to repair
the goat after the tustle. How we
/ discovered Mr.. Duke was frogolog-
ist he wrote some time ago for The
Breckenridge News piece on frog
culture. This noted live wire in froRI
cry is the son of Bob Duke the BID
mogul that furnishes the power at the
! Squires and Bandy Mill.
