working in the Kansas oil field
for the past few years, is calling
on relatives and friends here.
L. F. Villers of near Paden
City, is a frequent visitor in these
parts.
Miss Mary Long of VanCamp,
was calling on Miss Rosa Van
Camp Friday.
Samuel Richeson moved from
the VanCamp property on Buck
Run to Pursley.
The school at Dry Run closed
Saturday with good attendance.
A fine program was rendered.
e George E. Work of S!stersville,
was seen in our midst Tuesday.
He was along with the rural mail
carrier, Mr.. Grimes, inspecting
the mail route.
1t will not be long till the AS
SCISSOR will be around, then coal,
oil and gas will be taxed, then
every voter outside of Sistersville
should vote to give Sistersville
the independent school district
which the people in town have
been wanting for years.
The house on the VanCamp
farm on Buck Run was burned
down Friday evening at 30
clock. The loss will amount to
about 1925 with no insurance.
The fire is supposed to be of IN
cendiary origin, but some predict
that if the case is investigated
thoroughly the right party will
be found and such outrageous
crimes as burning dwelling
houses should be punished to the
| full extent of the law. There
was no one living in the house
at the time of the fire, as it was
vacated by Samuel Richeson a
few days before.
We wish to thank the PurSley
correspondent for the compll-
ment. on Turkey Tom and Chick
en- Bill. We have lost no chick
ems for the past week, but not
long ago a farmer here lost some
| turkeys, and some predict that
Turkey Tom, of Union district,
has been giving us Il midnight
visit, and also we Will have
Chicken Bills before the grand
jury if the grand jurymon will do
their duty. We think the grand
iurvmen will have no trouble IN
finding bills against the thieves
when different parties have track
ed the thieves from their chicken
coops to some peoples yard gate
in Owl Hollow, and we predict
if he. had went in the thief's
house he would have found the
old BOOSTERS and hens there. We
think it is time for the honest. in
telligent and Christian people to
punish the chicken thieves, in
cendiaries and outlaws Of this
country. Have we an intelligent
man in this country that wants
his children brought up with the
thieves and in homes where in
cendiarism is preached, and in
homes where the children are
taught how to get in their neigh
boris chicken coop by taking a
mattock along and prying the
boards off? We do think that no
sane man wants outlaws as his
neighbors. Then. are the farmers
of the surrounding communities
going to keep still and not help
prosecute these outlaws, when we
have had dwelling houses and
church houses. burned down. and
nearly all kinds of other damna-
bic crimes committed in and near
here? And, why have these Grim
inals went UNPUBLISHED? Because
the law-abiding people seem to be
always too busy to see that Grim
nails get justice. Remember, re-
spected citizens. that we are
placed here for the good that we
can do, and the more criminals we
punish greater will be our re-
ward. There are too many peo-
pie trying to get hold OF the
mighty dollars and not caring
how many of Satanc's hellish peo-
pie are standing at their back
door. We also look to the Pros
