HUMOR: You Want to Know What? --------------------------------- Thanks to: Nancy Haugh [email protected] I thought readers might enjoy this paragraph written by census enumerator Mary Ames Atkins at the end of the 1880 Salem, Massachusetts census, Enumeration District 240: "A thorough, patient, faithful canvass, which I have prosecuted in spite of dogs, an ignorant post-master, pitiful penny-a-liners (livers?), "bad whiskey," a too sadly frequent assurance that my employer was "a meddlesome fool," and long journeys, often with no one to enumerate for great distances." Karen Mitchell 2002 has been declared "The Year of "Unity". Pass it on.
