MEIGS

Little did we think when we pen
ciled the Meigs items for last week,
that we would be called on to report
the death OF our good friend E. A..
Munsell, for the same issue. The
news of his death was flashed over
the wires and expressions of amaze
ment and genuine regret and sorrow
We're made by ali who had ever met
him. Munsell, as he was called, few
knowing his name-Austin, was a
jolly good fellow. Never in hur-
ry; an Intelligent conversationalist
whose loud honest laughter will be
missed. A man dying alone; away
from kin folks, but among friends
whom he had made by his honesty
and neighborliness.
Elvin Ellis expects to go to town
soon to make his home.
School will be out April FL
The timber on the Samuel Wilson
heirs farm near Rowland, has been
sold to the B. M. Plow Co., who will
have it sawed this summer. Tayen-
er Bros have the contract of haul
ing the lumber to Malta
Bristol township was we'll repre-
sented at the L. d. Walker sale at
Unionyille, Saturday.
Mrs. Maggie Murray will have a
public sale at the old home near the
Valley school, this Thursday after
noon.
Don't forget you are expected at
the meeting of Bristol grange this
Saturday evening at 1880.
And now we are called on to tell
how much we want to pay tax on.
Some folks seem to think the tax
value and. what they would take for
the property if they were going to
sell, are different.
Pleasant Surprise
The neighbors OF Mrs G. B.
Carnes, to the number of so, gath
cred at her home Sunday night to
remind her of her birthday. Mrs.
Carnes was completely surprised.
The ladies took we'll filled baskets
and served sumptuous lunch. The
birthday cake with the candles
which said SADIE was 81, occupied
the center of the table. Mrs Carnes
received several nice presents. All
in all a good time was enjoyed.
G. p. Roberts received a car load
of cattle from the Union stock
yards, Chicago, on Sundays They
are feeders, about 500 pounds.
1t seems some folks seem deter
mined to try on some of the gar
ments We hang out, and then feel
they have been slandered We are
not handing out slander, but feel
the news should be written. Some
times we feel that it might be well
to tell as much as we know, but we
would much rather folks would be
good.
We will be at Cloud Saturday ev-
ening April IA, Rowland IS, Bristol
10, Meigs every evening to acknow-
ledge tax papers. Any one sick or
unable to~meet us, if they will call
us we will come to your home.
