Jr. The church there 50 YEARS AGO According to the report of Emery Beard, a Nyssa lad about 11 years of age, last Friday night his grandmother gave him a small sum of money and sent him up town on a errand for her. He was to have the change left, from the purchase of the article for her. After his errand was finished he pro ceeded to the drug store and bought himself some marbles with the change. While return ing to his grandmothers, he passed the hall where the dance was in progress, and someone followed him a short distance, caught him, put something over Emery’s face so he could not see, turned him upside down and when his marbles all fell out of his pockets the party picked them up and kept them, sent him on home. He spent the night at his grandmothers. Now he is much puzzled as to who would do this. It must have been some one who saw him buy the mar bles, and wanted them, or else they did it for a joke on him. Anyway, he regrets the loss. Thursday is booked for a big day for Nyssa. You must be here.
