NOTICE CONCERNING CLOSING
OF BUSINESS PLACES

Hereafter when stores, groceries,
places of business and offices, are to
be closed on holidays, no more such
notices will be published in this pa
per unless signed by the parties
closing. Much confusion and mis-
understanding has resulted in send
ing to the newspaper offices word
that all stores and places of busi-
ness are to close. While such a no.
tice perhaps meets with the approx
al of a majority of the business
firms, there are invariably some who
do not want to close, and do not
close, just as was evidenced Mon
day, which was Labor day. And a
general closing notice puts them in
a wrong position.

Effort Being Made To Invalidate
lawrence Bill

A committee has been formed in
the state, the purpose of which is
to invalidate the Lawrence-Arm-
bruster bill. A great many people,
it is stated, confuse this bill with
another one which provides for re-
fund of road assessments to individ-
uals. Such it is said is not true, and
the bill does not provide for refund
to individuals, of road assessments
paid in the past. The bill provides
that 10 percent of the automobile
registration fee be withheld from
every county, to retire road bonds.
Only a few counties will benefit by
this bill. Morgan county has but
$4,000 road bonds, and we would
be heavy loser through the opera
ton of this bill.

Streams Again On Rampage
Mail Shut Off

The steady rains Tuesday, Tues
day night and Wednesday morning
sent the creeks and runs of the
county out of banks again, and in
many places they were the highest
vet this season. To what extent
the bridges of the county may have
been damaged is not yet known.
The roads were also badly washed
No mail, up to this morning, had
reached this place by bus from
Athens, on account of the water be-
ing over the road at Amesville and
other places. Tuesday night part
of the run wall here next to the
creamery, was undermined and fell
in.
Wednesday evening we learn that
the Bear run bridge, just beyond
Meigs, is out of commission and un-
safe for travel; also the Mouse run
bridge is out.

chased. Mr.. Drury, while he will
work for time under another at

sibility. There will be other at

Twin City Water Supply O. X.

Samples of water of the twin
cities, sent to the state department
of health, during, and since the
food, have been pronounced pure,
and O. X. in every respect. Sam
pies of water are sent to the state
department of health every month.
Our water supply is drawn from the
bottom of deep, sealed wells, which
makes it almost impossible for any
surface water to get into them.
