HILL Mrs. O. X. Barnes suffered a
bad injury to her back, when she
fell at her home on the John Whit

the state department of education
has ordered our county board to re-
district Morgan ounty, making four
instead of II districts as at present.

C. B. Ray, lifelong friend and
neighbor of the deceased, was read
at the service:
Again we are called to perform
the sacrament of death for another
loved one, friend, neighbor. Gath
cred about the casket Of clay which
housed the intellect, the mind, the
will, we come at this time to pay
honor to his memory. Reuben Ed
ward, son of Reuben and Henrietta
Hoyt Parmiter, was born in Bristol
Morgan county, Ohio,
Oct 26, 1860; died at his home |
only short distance from the place |
of his birth, March 18, 1896, aged |
rs years, four months, % days. He |
was married to Emma Dye, Nov. s,
1882, to which union one son, Har- |
S., was born, and who with the wife |
survives him. Ed Parmiter was a |
man strictly honest and upright in |
all his transactions, member Of |
church because he thought it right |
he never broadcast the fact, quiet
ly living the life of good man.
He was interested in farming and |
stock raising. His home was al
ways open to friends and neighbors.
Interested in music, his voice has
added much to entertainments of
he community. Day by day, as dis
ease sapped at his vitals, friends
eagerly asked for word from his
sick room, hoping against hope for
word that he was improving. And
low as soon shall close the lid
which will make and leave his face
and form only memory, may we
who have benefited by the life of |
his man who was made of the |
metal which resounded to the hon
or of men and to the glory Of God,
sver cherish his memory as a bright
spot in our lives.

My Dear Willie While we may
disagree on some points polite,
We can tell each other secrets,
moving they will not be divulged.
some folks think the Republicans
lave no leader-but could they see
he candidates sitting Cor setting)
1t the feet of Eek and slipping his
words of wisdom" like bees the
lectar from the roses, they would
change their minds. What we start
ID to say, Eek is attempting to
lame both Republican and Demo-
ratio committeeman. 1t was the
asst straw that broke the camels
)ack. 1t may work the same with
IN ass.-Your Aunt Sarah Ann.
