Mrs. Hairy Campbell who is TAX
ing treatment of specialist in Col
umbus, is expected home soon.
Mrs. j. F. Kalb who is at Musca-
tine, Ia, for treatment, remains
| about the same.
| There seems to be quite a bit of
discussion as to who picked the
| CWA stenogs, assistants and so on,
/ that occupy positions upstairs in the
court house. What we would like
to know, who picked the extra
fancy good looking one.
| Quite stir in dogs was evident
here Friday and Saturday After
| the warden had made some hurry
runs, it was found no sheep had
even been scared
Irven Travis and G.. P. Roberts
held a conference lately. If this
happens again without our know
ing in advance, we will prefer
charges.
We feel grateful to the many who
have expressed sympathy to us in
our frozen luck. We call to mind
that one time our friend Dwight
Hall who lost hand some years
ago, told us there was one thing he
couldn't do-wash his hand We
find we have quite time to tie our
shoes. There are lot of things we
can do with one hand until the sore
one gets to going thump, thump.
Our own Jim Oglevee who tramp
ed the hills around Muttonburg in
his boyhood and has gone up until
they call him Judge" and "Your
Honor" jurist Of distinction,
passed on the following case:
Cadiz, O., Feb. IA mother who
"gives away" her baby and then de-
mands it's return after it has been
adopted and nursed hack to health,
is not entitled to the child. This
was the ruling today of Judge J. c..
Oglevee of Jefferson county, in the
case of Nancy Ruckman, four, who
was the principal figure in a bitter
court fight. The child's mother,
Mrs. Delesa Moore of Steubenville,
had sought to set aside legal adopt
ion of the child by Mr.. and Mrs.
here. Attorneys for the foster par
ents explained Mrs Moore had
placed Nancy in an institution
when the child was 19 months old
and near death from malnutrition.
The Ruckmans adopted Nancy and
nursed her back to health. Counsel
for the mother claimed Mrs. Moore
had not been notified of the adopt
ion proceedings. Judge Oglevee
held the adoption of the Ruckmans
was legal and that Mrs. Moore's
lack of interest barred her right to
claim Nancy.
He always wanted folks to look
on the bright side. Even when the
Oglevee boys had killed Lovett's
SOW to get the bladder, Jim said
Don't cry Lovett, pap will pay for
your SOW
L. T. Jenkins and family were at
Cool Hill Sunday, to see their
daughter Mrs. Lois Miller who was
seriously i'll for time last week.
They. found her much better.
Clarke Anderson and family who
have been residing on Mrs. Allie
Moore's farm several years, moved
Tuesday to the w. G. Glenn (W. H.
White) farm. just over the line in
Meigsville.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Whitney were
over from Athens and took the lat
ter's father John I. Bozman home
with them.
Mrs. Nellie Ray who has been an
invalid for several years, has not
been so well lately.
Our Prayer
Oh Lord, make our work bigger
than our prayers, Amen.
