The Neapolis Record---Vol. 1---No. 1---Neapolis, Ohio July, 1879

 

This was the first paper,first issue, in Neapolis, My dad found a copy in some of my grandfathers papers. Here are some things written in that paper.

 

All Sorts

"Misfortunes never come singly." Same way with twins.

 

"Reaching after the unattainable." A man feeling up under the back of his vest for the end of a parted suspender.

 

All men are not homeless, but some are home less than others.

 

Farmers make hay when the sun shines, and the young folks make love when the moon shines.

 

Two things that no fellow can do at the same time are --to hold a pretty girl upon his lap and keep from kissing her.

 

Why is your nose in the middle of your face?--Because it's the scenter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the first year that Neapolis has been blest with an Ice-House filled with plenty of good ice, thanks to Massr. Billings and Jones.
