Staunton.
Mrs. C. P. Jones returned from a
visit to her daughter, Mrs. Sterrett,
of Staunton, Saturday.
A Deerfeld lady says the Recorder
is the best visitor she has here in the
mountain and would gladly walk a
long ways for copy, if she could
not get it any other way.
We were in error as to all four of
of the returning soldiers, mentioned
elsewhere, having been discharged.
| Mckinley Sipe came out on short
furlough and expected to return to
Camp Lee today.
Both Saturday and Monday were
public days in Monterey, and many
citizens from other sections of the
| county were here.
In the estimation of the small boy,
Easter would have little of interest
but for the red eggs.
| Uriah Hevener, of Pennsylvania,
L
who was called to Crabbottom by the
illness and death of his mother, was
| in town Saturday, accompanied by
his brother, William Hevener.
This is a time of reconstruction,
| development and progress. If you
are too "old fogy" to endorse it, just
| remain passive, watch the procession,
don't knock and kick! However, it
is much easier and better to KEEP up
than to try to catch up.
The soldier boys are returning
more rapidly, as spring opens. First
IN the list this week was Billy Jones,
who, with his new wife, came in from
Camp Lee Saturday night. Monday
/ three more, arrived on the mail
| truck. They were Robert Hevener,
If Hightown, Mckinley Sipe, of the
Monterey valley, and Houston Winner
Of Crabbottom. The three last nam
| ed were overseas, and all have been
aonorably discharged. 1t is needless
| to add that all received a hearty
welcome from family and friends.

COLGATE'S
Christmas Thought

7 Asst Christmas-and for many
- years past we advised max
ing it Thrift Christmas for many
and good reasons.
This year, if only for the self-satis-
faction of continuing a desirable
habit, let it again be a Thrift
Christmas-one of useful gifts, not
"gimcracks.'
Colgate Comforts are useful-and are thrifty.
But most of ALL they are necessities.
Colgate Comforts too are Christmas gifts that
will last we'll into the New Year and be used
every day gifts that everyone is glad to
receive or give.
A gift costing few pennies may be extrava-
CANT if it is not useful But any of the Colgate
Comforts illustrated in this page are thrifty
gifts, well worth the giving because they are
so useful every day in the year.
There are Colgate Comforts that will delight
every member of the family. And you will
find them convenient to buy -.
