A Measley Neighborhood.

The people over around Egypt school house, Jordan tp., may now be nailed a measley lot, and no offense intended. Measles prevails there to a great extent, and in numerous families. Jim Bullis’s family breaks the record however, for he has ten' children, from 20 years old down to one, and they are all sick with it, at once. Only one of the cases was very severe, and that was complicated with lung fever, but is now much better.
