Shivereed and Showered

Monday night was made so hideous for Mr. and Mrs. James Glenn that they
did not know exactly what the ending was to be.  About the ominous hour 
of midnight they were awakened from their slumbers with a noise that had
in it every note and sound from jazz music to cow bells and cow boy 
yells.  Soon as they could come to themselves they recognized that they 
were the victims of an old-fashioned sheveree by their friends.  And 
the noise was so large in volume that the victims through all of Coke 
county had turned out to take part in the procedure.

But, a bad beginning has a good ending, so goes the wise saying.  And
this it proved for Mr. and Mrs. Glenn on this occasion.  When they had
opened the doors of their home they found that there were about seventy
in the group that was on mischief bent.  The young men caught Mr. Glenn
and compelled him to sit down and then Mrs. Glenn was seated beside him
by her friends.  A large umbrella was streched over the twain.  The the
guests threw their packages at the two.  It was a happy occasion.
