Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1936-12-17

ship has the champion future farm
er in the person of Charles Wilson
IA year old freshman in NJ & NJ,
who drove the tractor in the prepar-
alton of nine acres of corn ground
plow did all the cultivating except
one-half day. Result, 725 bushels
of good corn. If you can beat it,
tell us, and we will give it mention.
While we are on the subject of
schools-or pupils, we want to men,
ton the fact that we never hear
boys and girls talking about prob
lens, sentences, and so on, which
had bothered them in their study or
class. Perhaps they are all easy
for this generation John Oglevee
was taken to Bethesda hospital,
Thursday of last week, and operated
upon at once for appendicitis At
this time he is reported doing NICE
ly. His sister, Mrs. Christine Sutter,
r. NJ, is the nurse in charge So
far we haven't heard of anyone out
here that had made any advance
payment, to. witness the coronation
that won't cOrOnate. Mrs. Bianthia
Baker is the guest of her daughter.
Mrs. T. e. Sines, and family, East
Bloom VIM. Binion and family are
moving from the Jesse Gilliland
place, recently purchased from the
heirs by Harold Scott, to w. O.
Wortman's, J. w. Wilson farm.
When the Meigs scribe writes some
thing that sort of touches up some
one, someone as a rule calls our at
tention to the fact that we may get
cussing or something, when in fact
we never mention anyone but
friends. Remember this. When you
see name in the Meigs section,
that person is our friend Mr.. and
Mrs. Leland Jenkins, son Jack, with
Miss Thelma Yoss, driver, Belpre,
spent Saturday night with the for
mer's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. T.
Jenkins.--A predictions: Beans may
be scarce, but there will be plenty
left for seed. --WPA workers are
filing papers with the government to
prove they are eligible for work re-
lief. Had there been more careful
investigation in the start, there
would have been no need for these
papers. Some folks who through in
heritance, marriage-or hoggishness
have too much money to get work
relief, find fault with relief workers
going to shows and spending their
money for things they need, and
pleasure. Perhaps it would be
good idea to lock all laborers up,
Sunday in company of Marion Little
and son John we called at the Jesse
Gibbs home, just over the line in
Muskingum county. We found Mr.
Gibbs quite poorly. If he lives un-
til April z, he will be SO years old.
In this connection allow us to say
the daughter Miss Golda has been,
and is wonderful woman-for
many years she has not only staid
with and cared for her father, but
has done all the work about the
farm To our mind-if there are
front seats in the heavenly land, she
will have the one directly in front of
the throne We learn with regret
of the death of Mrs. Cynthia Rob-
erts Williams, widow of the late Jas.
Williams Mrs. Williams it seems
died of a heart attack She COM
planned of being short of breath,
and before a physician reached the
home, she was dead. Mrs. Williams
was the daughter of John NJ and
Elizabeth Bird Roberts. In our boy
hood the Roberts family resided on
Jas. Scott's farm, now the Ira Por-
ter farm, on Meigs creek. A more
extended notice will be found else
where in this issue.
