He was said to hare been made In

According to the story. he won the
heart Of the daughter Of a wealthy
leather merchant and entered into hei
fathers business to prove his WORTH

when the market in that commodit,

bringing out quite number of pat
rons to the grange hall Saturday
night, whose faces had not been

Paxton of the Springfield grange in
Muskingum county was present and
gave some worth while suggestions.
Someone asked what had become
of the young men who, until recent
| ly, formed a class in Sunday school.
We do not know, but we'll venture
a guess, that they are busy, patch
ing inner tubes.
More sheep have been killed by
those valuable CD dogs over in the
north end of Manchester township.
This time it was Garner Dickinson's S
flock that was raided. We are ex-
pecting to hear Of some dog funer-
ais. 1t is our guess that if some of
those farmers over there were to
say what they think, it would make
He'll and Maria" look like the Sun
day school lesson as compared with
it,
It's sure strange world. While
some of our hustling, energetic
young men who hire themselves out
by days work, with their personal
effects packed in suit case, ride
around in cars ranging from ''f1iv-
vers up to Buick Sixes," land own
ers go plodding around with old,
leaky and patched up boots, else
buggy behind an old plug of horse,
wondering where in thunder the
money is going to come from to pay
taxes. But that is the way of the
world, so let her go.
If congratulations galore were
conducive to happiness for those
who embark upon the sea of matri-
mony, then Miss Mary Irwin and
Howard Mitchell both of Meigs
township, will have smooth sailing.
Recently they went to GAINESVILLE
and returned as man and wife. Up
on their return they were greeted
with approximately $50 friends and
neighbors who gave them an old
fashioned serenade and wished them
much happiness We wish we had
been there ourselves, but right
here let us philosophize little.
There will be some boy or girl in
that crowd who, some time will look
back and refer to that occasion as
.'those good old days." and if you
and l are not getting anything out
of life now, there is a loose connec-
| ton somewhere. OF course We'll
have to take the "bitter with the
bound to come to us all at times.
