North Alton News Alley Brawl Dellos England, who' moved the other day from 538 George street to 3105' Alby, is nursing a somewhat bruised posterior. Prior to moving to the newly- )urchased home, Mr.

and Mrs. England spent several, days making repairs, washing and adding a special touch here'and there. Among the numerous jobs was that of cutting a large crop of weeds on the premises and England, to the vast sorrow of his soul, was mow- ng one afternoon with what tie described as a "wobbly old scythe." While he was mowing said weeds and meditating upon the stubborn ways of weeds, a dogfight broke out in an was a great hue and cry, England says, as no less than four dogs jumped onto one miserable pooch and began the process of biting chunks out of him. The one-sided display of strength touched the England sense of fairness to the quick. England, throwing his scythe over his shoulder, with the intention of using it as a weapon, rushed across of vacant lots toward battling was about to reach the scene of action, when the "V' formed by the scythe blade and the handle hooked into a wire clothesline in a negihboring yard.

The contact was too sudden for England to release his grip on the handle and he found himself jerked to a sudden stop, then his feet swung off the ground and he was in a hori- feontal position in- mid-air, still clinging to the scythe handle. It was at this point that he let go, plopping to the ground with a thud. He cautiously crept, back to his own weed-cutting, having decided philosophically that the world, after all, is a place where the strong survive, a premise which should apply to dogs, too. 1 North Alton Baptist The following service schedule has been announced by the Rev.
