A Little Outing

The local editor had little outing at
Grover, Monday and Tuesday. We met
several citizens who are very clever and
sociable people, and who give one COM
ing among them the impression that
Grover is good town in which to live
almost as good as Keota. Among these
clever citizens is Editor Williamson Of
the Press, who has all the work he can
do, and who, by looking at the gentle
man, we would judge is fairly prosper
GUS and lives we'll. An editor who is
conscientious and honest is valuable
acquisition to any town, and deserves
that share of the good things in every
day life should come his way, for his
pathway is not all sunshine and flowers,
neither is it always paved with cart
wheels" or punctuated with peaches
and cream.
A strange coincidence was brought to
our notice while in conversation with
Mrs. Grant Davis At the Grover House.
1t appears that Grover and Keota each
have a Grant Davis, that both gentle
men are deputy sheriffs, both are in the
livery business, and both Of them were
driving trips to and from Briggsdale for
passengers.
While in Grover we learned that our
relatives, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Camp
bell and their daughter Anna, had gone
to Canal Dover, Ohio, where they will
make their home.
We understand that citizens of Grover
and vicinity are in favor Of having new
county, but at some future time. Their
attitude is probably similar to that Of
the people in the Buckingham neighbor-
hood.
