Chas. Dresher, another Hooking
county boy, is in business in Nell
sonville, making money and friends
daily. He is one of the solid Ger
man citizens, careful, prudent and
saving, and gives yromise of early
accommodating safe and reliable
competency. His many friends in
Hooking will be glad to learn he
is doing so we'll.
We wish to extend the thanks
of the DEMooRAT-SENTrNEL to Mr..
Evans, the very Efficient and ac-
commodating mail agent on Route
9, Jacksonville, for numerous cour-
tesies.
In bidding farewell to Nelson
vile, we can scarcely refrain from
mentioning Alf Carnes, not only
the pioneer merchant but the old
est citizen. Mr.. Carnes is past
four score. He is hale and hearty,
unusually active. He is Of the old
school merchants, an honest man,
a square dealer. He is the kind
of man that pushes his town to
the front, that helps build
churches and school houses, that
makes town decidedly better by
being in it. His eye is as bright,
his welcome as hearty as sixty
years ago. His brain is as active,
his business sense as acute as at
two score. He is the first and the
last of the old school. Gan honest
merchant should be his epitaph.
Frank NJ Oldiges, very recently
with the Citizen Telephone COM
pany of Logan, occupies the same
position with the Union Telephone
company at Jacksonville. Frank is
the same frank, happy go.lucky
boy as he was in Logan, always
working, always jolly and under
every circumstance gentleman.
He has a good position, gets
good salary, does good work and
is satisfied. He has \ host of
friends in Logan.
After leaving Nelsonville, I
started in at Reinschell's and |
tracked towards Nelsonville.
By noon [ got as far as D. H.
Kern's, just in time to miss him,
but alright my name was in the
dinner pot. Mr.. Kern, in the
early sixties, lived with John E.
Rauch and attended our public |
schools, and necessarily my school
mate. l would have liked to have |
met him, but was just minute or
two too late. l hope for better
luck the next time.
L met, shook hands and con-
versed with the oldest man in
Starr township-Ohio Patton. Mr..
Patton is nlnety-eight years of
age. Though his eyes are dim
and his hearing impaired, his
brain is clear and active, memory
good and he is an exceedingly spry
old man. He is somewhat worried
about his eyes, saying. eff l only
had pair of glasses that l could |
see with there is considerable work
could do, and l would like SO
much to be able to read" Mr..
Patton purchased the mill owned |
by George Carter, at Administra-
tors sale, more than half CEN
tury age, since it has been known
as "Patton's g mill" / would like |
very much to spend day or two
with Mr.. Patton and learn how
they used to do near century
back. He has our best wishes for
many happy days.
Evening caught me at Steve
Stiers, and a more desirable place
for tired and hungry man would
be hard to find. Steve is in the
south, but his son, A. R. Stiers,
filled his fathers place and made
it very pleasant for me. Mrs.
Stiers was more than kind. l en-
joyed their entertainment ever so
much, and only hope that all my
lines may be drawn in as pleasant
places,
In the morning started out and
got as far as Boss Rizers, three
mile this side of NelsonVille, just
a little after noon Mr.. Rizer was
not at home, SO the pleasure of
meeting him was gone. retraeed
as far as Haydenville, where l
took the train for "home, sweet
home"
