Meigs

w E. Wilson returned home
Thursday, after spending several
days with his daughter, Violet, at
Bethesda hospital.
Pee-Pee
John Gander, Cumberland route,
was buying turkeys last week.
We broke no bones or legs, but
dented the ice.
The Christmas entertainment and
large crowd. A good program was
presented.
Duane Wilson left Friday for
Fletcher, to spend the holidays with
his family, at the home of Mrs.
Wilson's parents.
There seems to be a misunder.
standing in regard to the five cent
charge at the literary next Satur-
day night. While the literary is or
should be a part of the school work,
those in charge of and taking part
in the literary feel that they should
help to pay the Indebtedness on the
hall, which is not only a meeting
place for the grange and Farm and
Home league, but community
building, open to the church
schools. In fact, it means much to
the community Until you have a
better plan for community build
er, don't knock
The next meeting of the literary
is coming on New Years eve. Ev-
cry musician and reader in the
county is invited, and we will ush-
er 1898 in with the biggest literary
ever held any place. Come early to
get in.
The Mt. Zion church folks will
have their annual oyster dinner at
the church, Monday, Jan. 2. If you
are a member Of this church, you
are invited.
VIM. Yauger and Mrs. Byanthia
Baker attended the Sines family
dinner at the &C. w. Haynes home,
McConnelsville.
Chills and aches, ginger tea, and
we had the flu We will remember
this Christmas, 1882, as the one we
had no appetite.
With a checker board behind us,
marred by many mis-moves, and
with a nice clean one coming on
for us to start moving on-oh we
don't know, perhaps the first move
may blur the board.
We are sorry to know Of the crit
ical illness of our friend and for
mer neighbor, e. M. Fouts.
The death toll of the Morgan
County Democrat each week carries
the name of some friend, and some
issues several. Last week we noted
two-one of them Mrs. Ella Van
Horn of Rosseau, in whose home we
spent several weeks caring for Mr..
Van Horn, whose death occurred
only a few months ago. This was a
home where we always felt we
should visit, and felt sad when we
called and saw the pitiable condi-
ton of these folks, but we were al
ways repaid by way they seemed
pleased to see us. We were never
quite sure what the scripture ''These
are those who have come up
through much tribulation' means
We have read and heard preachers
and laymen argue about the story
of Job--but they are not talking to
us who spent many days and nights
in the Van Horn home.
The tragedy which befell the
Kimble family makes us sad.
We find the flu is not picking
only few choice subjects on which
to work as we first supposed, as sew
eral cases are reported hereabouts.
Turkey sales for the Christmas,
1882, market, closed at 12c, with
several left unso1d-perhaps too
many for the bug, and grasshopper
crop Of '33.
And now as we come to the close
of another years writing, and we
look forward into the new year, we
hesitate when we think of what it
to- write all that should be
written, and leave unpenciled what
the world has no business to know.
Then we realize it's only a week at
a time. May we all so carry on that
there will be nothing of sadness to
write in the Meigs section. Happy
