Meigs


The report that Meigs valley
grange was going to make an assess
ment of SIS per member to build a
community building is Incorrect In
the first place no one has the author
ity; second, the community spirit
is as the Lord prospers you. If you
can't give nickel toward the build
ing, you will be welcome Remem-
Der the next meeting this Saturday,
at | D. m Let us get the habit of
being on time.
If the Democrats had cut-up in
the U. S. like the G. o. p. has, there
would have been powerful wall.
AS it is now it seems they will keep
quiet and the clean men and women
of the nation will clean house from
cellar to garret.
The trustees have bought strip
of land from Mrs. Fannie Lyle and
moved the road out of the depres-
sion leading from the Barnesville
pike, toward the Lindimore bridge.
Remember the literary this Fri
day night.
Our item last week was incorrect
in regard to the renewal of the note.
The note is held by a local bank.
Said bank would gladly renew the
note, but the law makers have pass
ed a debt limitation of $400. The
local board has to do what the
higher ups dictate, and the said
higher ups don't always make them
selves plain, or move in straight
line. They set the price of teachers
and so on. but. have failed to pro-
vide means to pay said expenses.
Even the officials are becoming dis
gusted with the school law.
Schools close in Bristol April IS.
There will likely be but little change
in the teachers for next year.
Probably more than usual inter
est will be shown in the presidential
preference primary, especially
among the Republicans. If it don't
quit raining, voters living in the
mud districts will probably vote alb
sent ballots.
We received recently a letter ad-
dressing us as Hon" With the sus-
picion hanging over folks in that
class-we don't feel very good over
it. ANY way we are Quaker all
but the broad brim hat. In other
words we want to be just plain with
out the trimmings. May we so live
that when folks shall speak of us
after our departure they shall say
he was on honorable man, but no
jug handles while we live.
Meigs creeks were higher Satur
day morning than any time during
the winter, after one of the hardest
rains of the season Soon after the
rain ceased the wind rose and con-
tinued to blow one of those "W. A.
Sealock Kansas blows till on Sun
day the mud was settled and the
land began to show her new Easter
'EfiXings."
Our community is in fine shape
physically. While March is sup
posed to be the hard month on hu-
mans, folks here are feeling fit. May
they so continue, even though we
never find material for another
item
Mayhap we are wrong, but we will
leave it to you. If you are reader
of Sunday school literature, how
many live, wide awake keep the boy
or girl on the farm stories, have you
ever read in any of the papers dis
tributed in the country classes?
What child reads has great in
fiuence on his future career.
The election of officers for the
Meigs cemetery will be held this Sat
urday at 4 o'clock. If you are in
terested in the cemetery and want
to help make it a place where folks
will view and not think every body
in the neighborhod is dead, you will
have a vote in the selection of the
officers. Don't leave this to some
one else. Come.
