Longing for Better Roads
T. A. McLain has just installed a
new lighting plant This pretty
well lights up our little village, as
f. M. Watkins has a new light plant
also, which supplies light for the
church as well When the parson-
age, church and grange hall are
painted this spring, Well be quite
proud of our city We're going to
do all we can for our community
and hope the time will come when
the people of McConnelsville-Mal
will feel like permitting us a little
roads out here, that is will feel in
terested in having some connection
with us. We can't get it through
our heads very well why the busi-
ness men of our county seat are so
interested in getting a good road
by which to take business away
from their town and don't push a
road that would bring them in hun
dreds of dollars year. Homer
township is not poor township and
the amount of money spent in
Athens, Glouster and at mail order
houses is most surprising. And a
great share of that money would go
to our county seat towns if we
could get in. We like to deal in Nc
Connelsville and Malta. Their
clerks are SO pleasant, the business
men are so friendly. And then
we hear that some of the people are
opposing our road and sec by their
actions TAT election for instance)
that they think it doesn't much mat
ter whether we ever get anything
or not, and we're-we're down
right hurt. O. we don't want more
than our share, but, my how we do
need and want that! For the first
time in 5 years we've got a coun-
ty commissioner from this township.
Why can't he get some money ap-
piled to Homer township roads?
We're going to find out in the next
year or so, and when the roads get
paSsable for our cars we're going in
to a commissioners meeting-all of
us (the square will be filled) and
get this thing explained.
Mountville grade school gave a
very interesting Parents day pro-
gram last Friday. Miss Zelpha Trip
lett is teaching this school most eff
ficientIy.
One week ago Saturday night
Homer grange had their oyster sup
per which was well attended and
much enjoyed.
Homer High School Fair
Homer high school held their an
nual fair Saturday night and there
was just one criticism, and that was
lack Of room. But everyone realiz-
ed that it was no ones fault and
just crowded in and talked and
laughed and had a good time any
how. The school house was beauti-
fully decorated in green, in honor of
st. Patrick. The boys wore big
green bow ties, and the girls smart
little green caps. The ice cream par
Tor was pretty with green paper dec
orations and small tables with
green candles. There was also a
punch booth, sandwich and coffee
booth. and homemade candy booth.
Everything was sold out. The en-
tertainment was quite good, con-
sisting of Victrola music, two one
act plays and splendid singing by
the quartet. Mrs. Lafollette, Miss
Zelpha Triplett, S. M. Cain and Will
Price. The pupils of the high
school have done splendid work this
year, applying themselves steadily
to work, this being the first literary
affair they have had. They cleared
nearly $40 at this. and hope to ap-
ply it toward radio set. In April
they will give minstrel show
which will be the most elaborate en-
tertainment of the year. Watch for
this as it will be well worth seeing.
In fact-tickets will be sold before,
and it is likely that all wishing
them can't be accommodated, on ac-
count of lack of room. 1t would be
we'll for those wishing to see the
same to order tickets before from
some pupil.
