RenrOck

The condition OF Milton Dye, caD-
met maker and builder, who suffer
ed a collapse recently, does not
seem to improve very fast.
The thank offering service given
by the missionary spirited ladies
here last Sunday was good and ar
gumentative, ana deserving of a
larger congregation.
Custom sometimes makes thing
almost as fixed as the law of the
Medes and Persians. For many
years the grange has held it's meet
ings on the first and third Saturday
nights of each month. Time and
again it has been urged that these
meetings too often interfered with
Sunday service at the church. Moth
ing has ever been done until at the
last meeting the matter came up,
and to our surprise the change was
effected in a jiffy. Now they Will
be held on Friday nights. Here's
hoping it will prove satisfactory.
1t is not our policy to give prom
inence to visitors who happen to
drop into our sanctum, but when
such men as L. B. Skinner, editor
of the Byesville Enterprise, and his
associate editors, E. E. Green and
H. B. Potts drop in and infuse into
us a lot of good things intellectual
ly) it wouldn't be doing the men
Justice to not mention it. From here
they were going to McConnelsville
to visit DR.. J. B. Naylor.
Ladders: Well, you all know
what a ladder is, thing to 60 up
and down on. No one ever goes up
ladder very quickly, as compared
with how they come down,-some-
times. There are all kinds OF lad
ders, good, bad, and Indifferent. We
are scrupulously afraid of the two
latter kinds. We want them to be
as perfect as possible. There never
was but one perfect ladder, and
Jacob of old saw that. Anything
that would reach heaven would
have to be perfect. But we are
DEPRESSING. OF all the devices
found on a farm nothing needs to
be cared for more than the ladder.
Thousands of people are in their
graves, and tens of thousands are
cripples because of defective lad
ders. This alone ought to be suf.
ficient warning to take care of the
| ladder, but it is not. All over the
country you see ladders up in trees,
against buildings exposed to the
ravages of the 156 kinds of wealth
er for which the country is noted.
Yes, we repeat it, leave everything
else out if you want to, but take
good care of the ladder.
What's the matter? No cham
pion corn-huskers around here any
more? Lots of corn husking going
on and we haven't heard any big
| lies yet.
Strangers, well dressed, in good
| cars, roaming the country helping
| themselves to orchards and nut
| bearing trees without leave or IL
cense is certainly violation of any
| recognized rule of our duty toward
| our fellowman. But when kindly
| reminded that they are trespass1n2
| and then they turn in and say in
| sulting things to the land owner
| that, seems to us, is about the linn
| it. The shotgun policy might work
| in such cases.
Is the land you are farming get
ting better or worse? Come to
grange hall on Monday nights and
hear Prof. Sturgeon. Might bring
= pocket-full of your poor dirt alon9
/ and he'll tell YOU what it needs.
