Lost In the Depression
In the turn over the Meigs items
| got into the office, but on account
of their quiet nature did not make
their presence known until too late
for last weeks issue. On account OF
the fact we have not missed an is
sue in some three years, here they
are:
Seventy-four by actual count Wis
!, tied the McGregor sugar camp
Tuesday evening of last week, to
see them boil off, The party was
headed by the Bristol church folks.
On account of the crowd, it was i'm
possible for them to see, as we'll as
when no one but the boys are there.
The ladies and children who went
to the house, were treated to maple
sugar. Only short run is predict
ed.
The death of Mrs Cora Scott

There seems to be feeling in

Meigs-I4ast Edition
The death of Mary Heron we be-
lieve removed the last of the old
class that was carrying on, when we
started our educational career, un-
der the tutorage of Ebert Brown,
at the Salem school.
The wind storm Wednesday night
did quite a bit of damage to build
ings and fences.
We appreciate the many express
sions of regret from our readers
who missed the Meigs section, last
week.
You will notice we spoke of a Ave
cent carge at the literary. This
money goes to help pay for the hall,
and we want to say here that we be-
lieve all the better folks of our cit
izenry feel an interest in this build
ing, and what it means to, the COM
munity. And by the way, our COM
munity is bigger and better since
we have the building.
In an old scrap book which was
the property of our friend, the late
Cora Scott, we find a tribute to Al
bert Warren Judkins. To many of
our readers this would mean but lit
tie, but to us 1t means much. "Oc-
casional," the pen name under
which he wrote, was the man who
inspired us in our childhood to
want to write to the top as cores
pondent. While we never met him
face to face, his items were always
the first section we read. Whether
| it was "Joe" or "Jim" who wrote
the eulogy, we are not sure. and ir
fact it makes no difference. We
only hope we may be permitted to
serve the owner and editor and the
readers of the Democrat long
| enough, and SO well that when our
, loved ones shall read the issue fol-
lowing our going, that we shall have
tribute any way near so beautiful
And we might do well to tell you
the scrap book referred to contains
material for several weeks copy OF
our story of Bristol folk.
Come to the literary March 25.
We feel the attention of the tax
payers should be called to the ac-
ton of the county commissioners In
hiring ferry man. While no doubt
good man was employed at rea.
sonable wage,-but why would any
one want to go over now, when it's
| just as good on this side, and just
as bad on the other.
The Reinersville orchestra rams
the bell at the literary, Saturday
