rn Morgan County Democrat McConne Thursday July 30 1886

So many that we know are having
a run in" with the traffic cops,
when we finished reading a Cam
bridge item recently where the
| ''Goofy'' brothers of Dogtown had
been picked up for reckless driving,
we felt that we ought to know them
| too.
Mrs. Welty w. Wilson who went
to Mansfield last Thursday for a
brief visit with her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Dorset Kin
caid at 438 South Main street, re-

with Mr.. and Mrs. Newman Kincaid,
and accompanied by her daughter,

There will be an all day meeting
and basket dinner at Forest Grove
M. r. church, Sunday, Aug. 2. The
meeting is to conclude with a ses-
sion of the quarterly conference of
the Reinersville circuit. A number
Of former pastors and other min
listers have been invited to attend
and participate in the services. The
public is cordially invited.
Rain, something to which we have
been little accustomed and which to
speak of seems a bit fashioned,
came last Thursday afternoon about
three o'clock, and was followed Sat
urday evening by another spill Of
water that refreshed the vegetation
upon the dry and parched earth.
Much has been said in the past Of
other years of the drought, but for
us we will award the all-time camel
design medal to the summer of 1896.
Born to Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Gar
ris, Tuesday, July 21, nine and a
half pound son. The parents reside
on the former Fred Thomas farm in
Manchester township.
We reported this once, but here
| it is from a newspaper clipping:
| Harry Denny showed Charles f..
Phillis, local barber, eight blocks on
a wheel barrow here yesterday in
payment of a bet. Denny bet the
barber eight blocks to one that Louis
would win from Schmelling, Friday
evening"
Miss Helen McGrath, accompanied
her brother, Richard McGrath, and
family to Coshocton, Monday, where
the Richard McGrath family are re-
siding during his employment there
| The humidity, Monday, was very
oppressive to those employed at out
door manual labor, the day capping
| any previous one of the heat-wave.
This was decided by roll-call and a
| unanimous vote without any apology
to the thermometers. Then followed
at night the most beneficial rain
that has hit this section for many
moons.
