Letter From Former Resident.

One of our subscribers, a former
well known resident of this section,
in renewing his subscription writes
interestingly in reminiscent mood
His letter follows:
Rose Farm, Oregon City,
July 3rd, 1920.
Midland Journal:
In the spirit of economy l had
decided to cut down my subs OF
various papers which have been
coming my way. Your blank for re-
newal set me to thinking over the
years the Journal has been weekly
visitor. Away back in the days of
Pennington it began and has kept a
steady stream all these years.
When my old friend E. E. Ewing
was in charge of it, II loved it for
it's enemies"
AS the years have passed the
obituary column has recorded the
passing of most of those whose
smiles once warmed the cookies OF
my heart, until now only the very
few remain who ever heard of me or
I of them. Still Rising Sun, Colora,
Liberty Grove, Rowlandville, Como
wingo and Mexico are names which
bring pictures of a countryside and
people ever dear to me.
At Mexico was the first political
meeting I ever attended, 1910, also
there in 1914 at another, 1 was one
of the boys in uniform, white pants,
blue jacket and red cap. We were
formed in double rank along the
road to ConowingO, to march to the
grove east of the hotel. VIM. Cook,
stepson of Stephen Woodrow, ST.,
was the marshal of the day. Mount
ed on his horse with red sash
across his shoulders and about his
waist, he was figure to look at.
The Wing war cry for that veal
was "Clay and Pratt and Freezing
hysen." In the afternoon Pratt ar
rived. He wore coat made of
he walked about the grounds on his
handshaking tour; great sight to
us boys whe followed in his wake.
Lancaster county was there with a
big OK parade, have forgotten how
many yoke, and Harlan McCardell is
not here to tell me.
Around Mexico is historic ground.
Where the Port Deposit and Lancas-
ter meets the Conowingo road, TODD
the old log cabin school house, built
long before 1910. When Lafayette
passed by it on his way from Lancas-
ter to Port Deposit, the master had
his scholars along the road TO greet
him. From one of those scholars
George Gillespie, (of George) as he
signed himself, 1 have the tradition,
also of how Lafayette held his re-
ception at the hotel in Port. His
greeting was, Are you a married
MANI" If the answer was yes, he
would say, "You are one happy, hap
Ply man." If the answer was no, am
a bachelor, the response was "You
are one lucky, lucky fellow"
These with many other memories
of the places 1 have mentioned are
kept green by the Journal. en-
close the price of the renewal and
wish you success.
Respectfully,
J. A. ROMAN.

Bank Roll Causes Blood Poisoning

Bank Roll Causes Blood Poisoning
Mrs. Ella McWoodson, of Ply
mouth, Pa, may have to submit to
the amputation of a leg, which is
affected with blood poisoning, be-
cause she had the first national

Physicians say her ailment is due
to germs from frequently handled
bank bills.
