The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-09-28

Pardon the personal reference, since
1 never talk about or mention myself
in this column, but I'd like to take
you back with me several years. 1t
was when 1 was just a kid in King
wood, w. Va. People lived a short
distance from US who never failed to
give us snooty stare if we as much
as dared to look over the fence at
their property.
A beautiful pine grove, it was,
plenty of ground for play, but a fence
barred the way. A bawling out was
always ready if we slipped over for
just few minutes.
Last Sunday l was back at the same
place. Another family lived in the
house. The fence was down, the grove
was still beautiful and besides there
was about an acre of dahlia gardens.
More people visited that one place
than almost any other place in town.
In the barn was paradise for
children; with cubby holes, secret
shutes and whatnot.
The people didn't know US from
Adam but we had hardly got the car
stopped to look at the flowers before
they invited US in.
Need it be said who had the most
friends?
It's lucky that typographical errors
are made at times. Otherwise 1
wouldn't have anything this week
with which to fill up space.
The Washington Evening Post car
ried this paragraph in its news
column, George o. Sanford, engineer
in the department of the interior, will
deliver an illustrated lecture on "The
Construction of the Hoover Dame"
And they learned about women from
him.
The Lexington (Ky.) Leader pub
lished an explanation saying the pas
tor of the Felix Memorial Baptist
church is not giving dancing lessons
as might be suspected from an an
nouncement in a previous issue. The
pastor telephoned in his sermon sub

AS September goes whizzing by
NV call to "Stop" unheeding,
1 call to Summer, lingering nigh:
"Arrest that girl for speeding"
| All of which means that too fast is
autumn and winter creeping upon US.
And it's just going to be too bad for
me. never put down in writing just
where all the wind whistled through
the openings in our old homestead
last winter, and now l can't remember.
When it gets cold enough for me to
find out where they are it will be too
late then to fix them. And so goes
another winter.
A man out west whose dog had
rheumatism had the animals tonslls
removed and the rheumatism disap-
peared. To cure the rheumatism in
watch dog it would of course be more
advisable to remove his tonsils than
to pull all his teeth.
Archibaldson, who keeps up on all
the social graces, says that all kinds
of social knowledge and graces are
usful, but one of the best is to be able
to yawn with your mouthclosed.
Yes, now will be a good time to
practice.
The boss editor came in the other
morning and said that Mike Carney
had staged dry parade up Third
street all by himself for the especial
benefit of the b. e. to take the place of

of his friends the night following the
election-had the county gone wet.
In looking out of the window l am

bargain sale somewhere in black and
white sport oxfords.
It's funny how the talk about beer
and all has died down so quickly. And
don't see anybody moving out of the
county as a result of the vote.
The biggest disturbance the MIRA
seems to have caused thus far is the
growing list of strikes in the various
industries.

are going up, and I'll bet 10 to that
the growers aren't getting the benefit
of the rise.
At the next Century of Progress /
hope they have overstuffed roads and
streets that are as easy on peoples
