setting the buggy and horse, srill-
ing the boys out, breaking the buggy
badly, but the boys were not injured.
A city young woman after having
been told what the name on the
horse was, offered the suggestion
that probably the hair at the other
end was the TAIL
We were sorry to learn of the
misfortune of our friend and for
mer neighbor Francis Starlin of
Todds.
Some of the readers of the county
papers have the mistaken idea that
our Knob writer is mad If we
hadn't counted ham as friend we
wouldn't have paid any attention to
him. Why folks if he had only one
biscuit in the house and knew we
were hungry, he would give it to us.
We had our first experience in silo
filling last week. IT we keep our
mind we will always remember it as
the first.
Vote for Draper Vanfossen for
county treasurer, on Democratic
ticket.
Road work is coming along nicely.
There is still place for good hands.

Word comes to us of the death of
Mrs. George Fowler at the 'ome of
her daughter at Duncan Falls. Mrs.
Fowler was woman highly re-
spected by neighbors and friends in
her old home near Windy Hill.
The attendance at preaching SER
vice at Mt. Zion is on the increase.
If we understood correctly there was
a 5000 increase last Sunday, over
the service before. Keep this up for
the next three months and some of
the community problems will solve
themselves.
Present Veterans Medal
Your scribe had the pleasure of
attending a meeting of Woodgrove
lodge No. 288 l. O. o. F. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to present
Abe Hayes a veterans medal. Travis,
Gaylord and McGonagle of Valley
lodge were present and to our sur
prise the folks out there knew
them A very nice program was
rendered by the young folks of the
after which G.. o. Nc
Gonagle made the presentation
speech, followed with speeches by
Travis and Gaylord.s Then Travis
and McGonagle took turn about in
readings After Try had been at bat
a few times, he decided to sing and
sing he did, to encore after encore.
After they had gotten everything
possible out of their system, the
folks were invited to the dining hall
where they speedily filled UP on--if
you have never been to Wood
grove feast, you couldn't appreciate
it if we told you. The thing to mar
the occasion was the fact that Judge
Mercer who had been advertised as
one of the entertainers, failed to put |
in an appearance. After all, surely
a mistake has been made in the
records of the lodge. as your scribe
who has known Abe since he was a
boy, is of the opinion he isn't old
enough to wear veterans jewel. |
May he live long to enjoy the honor
a life of service to humanity brings
to one who has for so years served
his fellowmen and community.
Only two weeks from next Tues |
day til election. Vote early if pos
sible, but vote. AS we write this
we do not know who the election Of
ficials are in any of the precincts,
but we do know they can handle the
work better in the morning than
when they get tired. Let us suggest
that voters don't wait for those writ
ing tickets to ask you how you write |
your name, but say "R V. Jones'"
Eta Smith," or whatever your
name may be. Ii you don't believe |
this take your pencil sAd see how
many voters names in your precinct
you can write.
