The Sycamore
A Story Of Bristol Township Folk
By c. B. RAY

Cn1ries Knox was born in Mary
land III 1910, and died III 1892
Maria Maxwell his wife, was born
III Manchester township, 1868, aad
diet in 1882. They were the pal.
ents Of Pie following children: Hen
rictta Mcfarland Adda Oglevee
Marcy Brummond. Mary Sears. Jane
Jcnes. Sarah Ryan. Benjamin
Bcthuel. Mrs. Oglevee is the only
one left Ben Knox was born in
1914. and died in 1922 Henrietta
Brown Knox, his wife. born in 1914,
died III 1910. They We're the rar-
ents of one son. Frank B. OF whom
we have told you, and one daughter
Aura, who married James Keyes /;
both are deceased leaving ore
daughter Leah Ben was men,
her OF Co c, 1872 @. V. |. The Knox
home was always open to those who
wanted TO have a good time II
you wanted 10 feel blue you wanted
to stay away from there. Frank is
carrying on, but he does not have
the parents and sister to help. We
told III a former section Of his coed
wife and daughter.
We have written of the Robinson
school. When the school was dis
continued they built two school
houses and redistricted Valley sub
district No H. A Joint district,
Bristol and Meigsville townships.
While only a small lad at the time,
we well remember the excitement
of the OCCASION; even some cot so
warm they actually swore Sons
how we can't help wondering what
those men would do and say could
they come back aud see what has
come Of all their labor and worry.
Somehow we are led to believe the
Lord wouldn't hold anything against
them for swearing, unless they kept
it up into the second full moon.
We want to say here that we feel
we should tell you we appreciate
the pleasing comments we are
hearing about our story. Perhaps
you haven't noticed that you have
been reading of Bristol folk since
Feb. 4, and the half has not been
told. Send us your Offering writ
ing). It's your story.
In speaking of school districts,
We are reminded of the time they
tried to redistrict the township, as
told by G. p. Roberts who was
clerk of the township at the time.
The board which then we believe
was composed of one member from
each district, had met with the
avowed purpose of working out the
locations for the places where the
buildings were to be put. After
some discussion, motion was made
and passed that the buildings be To-
Gated on the corner of each third
section. This seemed to be pleas
ing to ALL as it would put all III
close proximity to school, The
board with the aid of the clerk then
proceeded to locate or determine
where these points were. After
working all day it was found that
several of the locations were in out
of the way places. Then a motion
was passed making the former mo-
tion null and void, and George
Glenn had saved the township sew
eral thousand dollars.

III. f.. Carter, Republican Nominee
For County Commissioner

III. #. Carter, Republican Nominee
For County Commissioner
y One of the most capable, con-
scientious and trustworthy men as
pfring to public office at this time
is Harry f. Carter, Republican
nominee for County Commissioners.
Mr.. Carter is seeking a second
term strictly on his merits for the
office, and surely they are numer-
Gus. enough to influence sound
thinking people. His record, as that
of Mr.. RadcIiff's, is one of strictest
economy and saving. This policy
will be continued if Mr.. Carter is SO
fortunate as to be elected for sec-
ond term to this office which he Is
in every way entitled to.
While this outstanding candidate
believes in good roads and public
improvements, yet he also believes
that the work should be accomplish
ed, at this time particularly, at the
least expense to the public so that
taxes can be kept down to the low
est possible level. This he can be
depended upen to do, in so far as he
is concerned, if chosen for another
term in the commissioners office. !.
Mr. Carter is man well and fa-
vorably known to people all over
the~ceunty. He was born and rear
ed here, educated in the local pub
lie schools, and engaged in farming
practically all his life. He served
on the township school board for
nine years, and as member Of the
fair board for Is years, being its
president for IL years. His record
of economy and efficiency in public
office commends him to the IA
vorable consideration of the voters
over the county, who will go to the
polls November Sth to choose their
business managers OF the county
for the next four years.

YOUR TEETH
Their Relation To Your General
Health
BY the Educational Committee OF
the American Dental Association
It's Easy To Re Healthy

9 hIdSy ~ lie f1ealt0y
one Of the outstanding facts un-
covered by modern scientific re-
search is that no mysterious form.
ula is needed to achieve GOOD
health. Sayages use charms. and
people of other ages were -con-
stantly going to quacks for special
lzed advice. But today we know
lhat, generally speaking, the man
VINO takes care of himself. eats
wisely and gets proper exercise and
sleep, needs very little professional
care TO assure him a rugged con-
stltution and long life.
preventive measures do more to-
ward promoting good health than
anything else in the world, and the
pest preventive measures are those
that keep the body in norma,
healthy condition every day.
But a clean, healthy body, like a
clean house, needs constant atten-
tlon. And just as the doorstep of
the house must be scrubbed reg
ularly, so must the teeth. as tn.
front door of the body, be properly
cleansed at all times.
That is not all. Teeth are often
barometers by which you NAV read
The condition of the BODY as 4
Whole. 1t your teeth show signs
or decay, even though clean, it is
probably an indication that you are
not eating the proper foods. A bad
diet is often reflected first in th.,
breakdown of your teeth. And if
you DO not have enough fresh veg
etables, fresh fruits-especiaIIy Of
the citrus variety-and fresh milk,
your teeth will be affected and their
poor health will be a detriment fo
the entire body.
rake care of your teeth, give
them the proper food and keen
them clean, and your whole body
will benefit.
So will your pocketbook. Pre-
ventive dentistry, like preventive
medicine, costs almost nothing AMI
Is best conducted at home. Yon
can be your own best doctor and
dentist. But if you do not do the
Job properly and consistently. you
Will create job for the dentist and
a bill for yourself.
Think of your teeth, and you will
be able to forget your dentist most
of the time.
Forget your teeth, and they will
soon remind you, painfully, that
you must go to the dentist and
run up large bill.
