died June IS, 1928, leaving three
sisters-Eliza Riecker of Lowell,
Katy Pugh, Palmer township, Wash

of Roxbury; also one brother, Thos.
Blind of Dale. Her father John
Blind died in 1884, and her mother
Elizabeth Blind in 1891. Also two
brothers preceded her in death,
John L. and Jacob w. Blind. One
sister died at II years of age, Miss
Blind was a successful teacher in
the public schools Of Morgan and
Washington counties for IT years.
Early in life she united with the U.
B. church. She lived consecrated
Christian life. The divine light, the
beautiful smile that lightened her
countenance about noon the day of
her death, showed that she had al
ready looked within the Fathers
house and reveled in its glories. Per-
haps her place in the church can be
supplied by the Lord Of the harvest,
but she will be sadly missed until
we are reunited above. The little
circle of the years roll quickly away,
His coming draws near and to us, at
least, eternity will soon dawn.-XX.

We people Of Homer township
were delighted at the share Of state
aid we received when the commits
eiOners recently divided up what
Director Herrick allowed our county,
and we know Union and York town
ships must feel the same. It's quite
a fine feeling to know you're a part
OF the county, and county officials
are willing you should have share
as we'll as the rest. And too, it will
give us such sense of security when
some beloved member of the family
gets seriously sick, to know that we
can call doctor and he can traveA
over our new road and reach us rap
idly. Excuse the sarcasmi Words
can't express our feelings-yOu
know there are Thoughts that do
lie too deep for words" and those
are ours. In fact Homer township
is just seething-it never was so
stirred up, it can talk of nothing
else but roads and the injustice done
it. We can't get over the gross self
ishness that constantly considers
and Homer has no right to ask for
mOney-away out there" They
can't seem to realize that the people
of Homer township have feelings,
needs, pay their taxes year after
year and deserve share of the mon
ey allotted the county, to be used
where it needs it-for it's conven-
fence, and not where it will do Nc
Connelsville the most good. We'd
be glad to have a road into town,
glad to trade there, but in the mean
time some or us are going to lose
members of our families because we
can't get a doctor out over these
roads in the dead of winter, and
we're constantly losing our young
men and women because they won't
stand these roads. The small piece
of road we asked for would have
helped so-we wonder If other parts
of the county realize what it means
to ask year after year and never,
never, never get anything! We wish
here to exonerate Commissioner Low
ell from any blame. We know from
good authority that he has done ev-
erything in his power to get us some
help, but that every time he has ask
ed for anything he has been turned
down. And right here let us
straighten up what happened when
our delegation went in to ask for
survey and estimate on road sos.
After the speeches were made, Mr..
Lowell moved that it be allowed, but
the motion died right there, for no
one seconded it. It's no wonder
Homer township seethes!
