Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1925-09-10

Election school is running. The
patrons took up the matter with
Mr.. Riegel. 1t seems Mr.. Riegel did
not know the true status of affairs.
| Allan Koon and family of Murray
City visited with the formers sister
Mrs. j. P. Carnes Sunday. Mrs.
Carnes remains about the same
+! The community was shocked
when the word came that Mildred
Barkhurst had passed from this
/ world. We can't understand why
God would allow this thing to hap
pen. If we could, there wouldn't
have been any sweet little Mildred,
nor any God May there come to
those who are the most terribly
stricken, the greatest insight into
| the blessings of the Almighty One,
and may He who has promised bring
| the bereaved into the way that they
may receive the fulfillment of the
promise to the full.
M. w. Gray's have named the
new girl Nellie.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Flanders and
Mr.. and Mrs. O. F. Flanders and
daughter Mary Belle spent Saturday
night and Sunday with Paul Nc
Grath and family of GAINESVILLE.
! The mid-week service Thursday
night at Mt. Zion, was great meet
ing While the spiritual part of
these services is at or above par,
these meetings are showing not only
to Mt Zion, but to our friends, the
power in their churches and the
wonders Of cooperation. Edith
Miller and Eula Smith who had
charge of the program, are young
ladies of whom any ehurch and COM
munity might justly feel proud. The
services Sept. II will be led by Ma
! bel Bone. Let every member of the
church and all interested in church
work, be present.
| Your scribe had the pleasure of
spending a night recently with C. R
Massey, d. S. M, and son r. o. We
] found SO many things of interest we
didn't get away till nigh onto noon.
We can say the deputy has not ex-
aggerated about his flowers. You
/ lave not seen a real flower garden if
you have not seen this one. Charles
can tell you the names of the differ
ent kinds just like he reads the key
MuSmelons large and ripe; grapes;
( apples-who said sandwiches?
A much needed improvement has
oI0 I,0 Nf

the steel culyert, and G. p. Roberts,
VIM. Yauger, T. E. Sines, Dave
Pierce, e. r. Oglevee, w. T. Hen
derson, John Campbell and your
scribe donated the work of putting
it; at least $40 worth of labor was
donated.
We are informed Bear Run road

Wreck of Great Dirigible Brings
4 Expression of Thoughts
] We visited the wrecked Shenan-
doah. We had our pencil and pad
with us; took some notes, not with
the idea of writing it up-but that
We might make some entries in our
diary. To us the scenes were SO
far out of the line of one cylinder
correspondent, that we wouldn't at
tempt it. A life time of study
would not open up to one what was
to be seen there. Not SO much the
wreck, but the wonderful mechan-
ism, the thought that man had con-
ceived, worked out and put it all in
place, so that it would perform the
wonderssit had performed. Then
that some men could even think
that man had come from something
far below the smallest atom of that
monster machine. Then the thought
came to us of the King OF the ele-
| ments, who had used a little storm
to bring to the attention of the
| world the fact that man would
evolve few million years yet, but
| that He would still be God. We
didn't start in to preach sermon
\ only to write some of the things that
\ came to us. The crowd was simply
\ terrible. Dust! We never felt
sander in our life than when We
\ got home Of the hundreds of ma.
i chimes and drivers and folks we saw
| at the different places, from man,
i states, they were careful drivers
| with very few exceptions-courte
1 Gus, just folks there to see and heal
/ and tell others. The land owner
were reapi9g a harvest. Not NOR
