We noticed in last weeks Sentinel
where our good friend, the Judge,
over in Jungletown, made a few "re-
marks" about our people, and myself,
in particular. He says 'I wonder if
he was ever away from the Pond,
or-if he lacks judgment, etc." And
after reading his remarks "I won
dered" little too. | wondered if he
had been eating too much unripe fruit
and had slight attack of the "tummy
ache" or if he was just little mar
row minded. Of course, we must con-
slider the source. Of course, we have
travelled some, son. Last fall we went
over to your burg and voted in your
old ramshackle town hall, but we had
to secure a guide to pilot us through
the weeds and underbrush to the door
of the ark. And another time went
East as far as the pike. So you can
see l have travelled some. And when
you call the "most beautiful natural
lake in Ohio" a pond, you seem a
little narrow minded to me. And I
wondered again if you had ever been
out of the jungle. And beside this
beautiful lake we have the incest
pleasure resort in the world. And we
have churches, with resident pastors,
schools. stores, grain elevator brick |
and tile mill, garage, two railroads,
four hotels, ice cream and soft drink |
galore, miles of paved |
streets, stone sidewalks, fire engine |
with volunteer fire company, hundreds
Of well kept lawns, etc. And our people |
are all peaceable God fearing people, !
who go to church and Sunday school
every Sunday, year in and year out. |
No heather here and no work for
Billy Sunday. You poor forsaken peo-
Pile have our sympathy. Here we have
been sending missionaries and money
to heather lands and neglecting peo-
Pile right under our very noses. Too
bad, son. And again, we consider the |
source. And about the hogs. If you
could have seen them, / hardly think
you yourself would have said they
came from the land of plenty. If they
lid. they didn't show it to any great
extent. And when they got out why
lid they travel in the opposite direc-
lion from this SO called land of plen-
"? When they came they made us
,hlnk of the long nosed razor backed
logs of the south. Down there when a
native wants to know if a hog is
'eady to butcher, he goes out and
'atches one and lifts him by the ears:
f the nose balances down he is not
'eady, but if the other end goes down,
le is ready for the butcher. Come
'ver sometime, son, and we will show
you around, and you will be so de-
lighted with us that you will want to
,tay forever. l thank you. II
