Runs
Like Palooka

By United Press
LAUREL, Md, Oct. 28.-Winooka,
so-called Australian sprint cham
pion thoroughbred, failed for a
second time to live up to his repu-
tation when he bowed to a mediocre
field of handicap campaigners in
the Westover handicap, six-fur-
long dash for thoroughbreds from
the all-age division, yesterday.
After holding brief lead in the
stretch run, the invader succumbed
to the challenge of S. w. Labrot's
Springfield, the winner, and Cary
T. Grayson's Hope To Do, to finish
a badly beaten third.

greatest thrill in football came in
tying Pitt last season. He considers
Greg Kabat of Wisconsin the best

the best back he ever faced.
Besides football his amusements
are mystery stories, rhum, bridge

sions- The worth while members
could then get some good accom-
plished.
What sad case 1t is when q bflr
concerning lower interset rates to
borrowers is shelved in favor Of ad-
ditions to the police protection OF
the state; or when a bill returning
millions of dollars to taxpayers
(such as that introduced by our
own legislator, George Horton), is
laid aside in favor OF wet-dry de-
bate.
The people cannot afford much
longer to pay state legislators and
national congressman for such pO-
litical treachery. They will soon de-
mand unhesitating action, or they,
themselves, will act, and that right
speedily.
Little better than these IS the par
ty newspaper that begins spreading
"hot air. on the very eve Of an op-
posing administration debut at the
White House, begging the people to
support the new officials on one
page while assuring them on an
other that by SO doing they are sup
porting system that cannot pos
sibly succeed, being inherently
wrong. Any such effort to destroy
public confidence at a time when it
is most badly needed, deserves the
wholehearted condemnation of the
broad-minded American public.
We believe President Roosevelt.
in his Inauguration address, showed
a courage well worthy of the Roose-
welt name Standing on both feet
he openly dared the political and
financial sharks to "do their worst"
BY so doing he has won the conf
dence of the American people. BY
continuing to do so he will become
one Of the most popular and sue
cessful presidents to ever sit in the
White House.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt has
promised us "ACTION." NOW"
Action is what we need. Let us,
Republicans and Democrats alike,
support him steadfastly in all he
does, until or unless. after doing all
he can, he proves unable to meet the
situation. There are critical months
ahead Of us, calling for cooperation
in national emergency.
Let the people of America arise!
Let them unfurl the Stars and
Stripes in the face of politics, and
begin war On selfishness, political
maneuvering, and graft, until such
shall be wiped forever from "The
Land of the Free and the Home of
the Brave. e.'-Caldwell Republican

While we are careful not to make
mistakes, we find that it pays to
make one occasionally, or rather
some of the mistakes turn out for
our benefit. as the following letter
will prove:
McKeesport, ia. Feb. 21, 1888.
C. B. Ray. Dear Friend l have
just finished reading your article in
Feb. 10th Morgan County Democrat.
Have you not forgotten D. Sprague's

St, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Thanks Marion, and thanks again
for the history of the Charley CHM
family which you will send on re-
ceipt of this, in fact the history OF
the CHM and John D. Parmiter fam
lily. While We know the Bristol
part of the life and works of lot of
folks who have moved away, We
want to know how they have carried
on after leaving the homeland.
Perhaps it has been on account of
the fact Bristol has been Democratic
and Morgan county Republican, that
Bristol has not had as many of the
county officials as some of the other
townships But we have had few
who have been able to win the race.
We will not attempt to give dates.
only tell you who they were and the
office they filled. In the county
comm issioners' office we find George
J. Henderson, B. B. Parmiter. JOS
eph Flanders and Fred Radcliff J.
C.. Murduck who was resident of
the township served as sheriff, but
we are not sure whether he was
elected from Bristol or Malta. John
whitney has the distinction of being
the only one from Bristol elected to
the auditors office. States attor
ney, C. III. Fouts, G. 0. McGonagle.
Mr.. McGonagle also filled the office
of clerk of courts. Representative
TO the genera, assembly. c. H. Fouts,
Kenneth G. Ray Coroner, David L.
Jenkins. Eight incumbents, four of
whom are dead.
Mordecai Bishop was an old time
preacher of the old Baptist church
we have spoken of, which was locat-
ed on the Alex Roy now the Mar
garet Moore farm near the Bristol
Presbyterian church. 1t was said he
caused quite bit Of excitement
when he preached the coming of the
end of the world. This was some 80
years ago, and the Reverend has
long since found out he did not
have his dates any nearer right
than have some who continue to tell
the same tale.
Absalom Fouts and Nancy
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1933-03-16
By c. B. RAY

Hedges Fouts came to Bristol in
1920, from Brook county, Virginia,
and settled OF an 80 acres now own
ed by Everett Greer, near the Mt
Zion church, Their coming was
sntedated ony II years by the
first settler To those of you who
have a Bristol farm map, it will be
readily seen that even at that early
date the movement was westward.
The first settlement was on the
eastern boundary of the township,
and the Fouts farm is on the west
boundary. The Fouts family were
here early enough to be called real
pioneers 1t was said the wolves
howled about their cabin home.
Perhaps this had something to do
had large families-thcy wanted
company. We find 10 children in
this family-five girls and five boys,
as follows: Sarah Mcconnell, Mary
White, Katherine Henderson, Emma
Biggs and Electa Border, Isaac,
Silas, Eliza, Franklin and Israel!
At the time of the passing of Israel
(1926) the only survivor Mrs. Biggs
was IS years of age. At this time
we do not have the record of her
death. but want to tell you of Israel
and his family. He was twice mar
ried. His first wife was Margaret
Glenn who died Dec. "a, 1909.
Some years later he married Mary
Benjamin whose death occurred
Nov. %, 1917. To the first union
were born one daughter, Mamie j.,
wife of John w. Cunningham, who
with her husband resides in McCon-
nelsville, and one son Charles H..
deceased, and whom we will tell of
in a coming section. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cunningham were the parents of
Charles and Elmer, both deceased; ;
Mertie, wife of Chester Reed of
Bloom; Mary, wife of Ernest Nc
Murray, Columbus; Margaret, wife
of Raymond Cooper, Fremont. Chas.
and Ola Mercer Fouts were the par
ents of three daughters, Corinne,
wife of DR.. Ralston; Lucy, wife of
Gene Bell, both of McConnelsville,
and Louise Oman of Iowa.
Johnny Cunningham farmed so
long that when he moved to town
to retire, he found that he was still
good for lot more work, so it is
not unusual to find him helping
some farmer Or working on his own
land which he retained when he sold
the rest of his holdings in Bristol.
We learn after writing about the
Aaron Jordan family, that they
have one daughter, Norma, who is
married and the mother of four
children. By clipping in our
hands we learn that Electa Fouts
Border died March 19. 1916, at
Guthrie Center, Ia, where they
had gone from Bristol township 16
years before. Mrs. Border was born
Nov. 4, 1S41 Their only child, a
son Aubrey, died some years before
the mother

gave the history of Wilson Scott
Today we attended the funeral of
his wife Cora Corp Scott. While
