On HOUSEKEEPING Charge
Both Bound Over
To Grand Jury

Two London boys were bound
over to the Clark county Grand
Jury last Friday after they had
been apprehended on charges of
breaking and entering a South
Charleston farm house.
The boys, Joseph Fl. Joe Boy

arrested after they alIegedly broke
into the farmhouse owned by Jay
Florence, Route AZ.
Florence said that he came home
Unexpectedly and that upon enter
ing the house, smelled cigarette
smoke. He said that he believed
that the boys were in the house at
the time but that he went to
nearby farm and telephoned police
who later picked up the boys
along the road.
Hoosier had been working on
the Florence farm at the time of
the crime. Cooper was working on
nearby farm, it was said. Both
are in the Clark County Jail await
ing hearings.
Entrance was gained by kicking
in a window. No loss was reported

EASTER WAS BEAUTIFUL

The weatherman in bold,
black letters, last week issued
his edict for a cold, gloomy,
Easter"
1t was with foreboding that
many a girl, both little ones and
big ones alike, read the warning
and thought with misgivings of
that spring finery purchased
ahead of time against the ar
rival of the Easter Parade"
Came Easter morning and all
the worry was for naught. The
sun arose in all its glory as if
to remind the world of the real
meaning of the Easter Season.
Churches were filled to ca
pacity; in London, the annual
ceremony and breakfast at the
Masonic Temple, drew one of
the largest, if not the largest in
the history of the celebration;
The Knights Templar, Willis
Commandery, attended church
services as a group.
All in all, Easter Of 1854 in
London, was one of the most
glorious of all casters, the
Weatherman to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
