VIM. LYLE of Columbus, nalL-
brother of the late j. w. Lyle, cali
ed at the Mrs. ]. w. Lyle home
Tuesday of last week
We note by an advertisement In
the Democrat, c. A. Stegner wants
to close a certain road. There was
time when we would have laid Off
moving weeds one or two days and
met the commissioners. Now, il our
| friends down there want it closed,
close it says but we feel some
body should tell folks that 1T is on
account of the fact that Uncle sam
with WPA workers has made
road up from the Barnes bridge,
and the said road is not needed
Perhaps w. o. Barnes will have to
take his cane and go over into Un-
ionyille to get his mail-but he
went there without cane when 1t
was females.
When we made the last run from
notes to Fast Mail we left out the
name Of Julian Miner, aged two
years, five months and ~ days,
whose death occurred Nov. 6, 1887
We still think this is record
There were AZ deaths in that period
Meigs creeks were out OF banks
Thursday night. The fact that
farmers were we'll along with theii
= hay harvest made the loss less thar
it otherwise would have been.
The Sines-Yauger reunion will be
held at the city park, Parkersburg
W. Va, next Sunday.
, After all, we are still of the opin
ion we Ohio folks should pick oul
! officials at the primary. Man!
times the best manor woman
showed off and never gets to th'
, place where the majority can eN
press themselyes-then it woult
keep some folks from getting into
a lather twice. Many friendship
. have been shattered in these pre-
ludes.
And Ne Copy Came
Last week we offered soc for Ou
idea of the best copy of the Meig
5 items for this issue. This was don
with the thought in mind we woult
: get ideas Of what our readers wan
and that someone could get a job
= Back in 1909 we asked Joe abou
writing and he informed us he ha'
correspondent Before he me
is only ole C. b. Ray which mean
. much to US because of the fact w
were what he wanted-and m.
looks did ut tel Joe. Let me tel
; you-you may be the one Raymon
Durbin is looking for-and 70
don't know it.
Starting soon cur pencil VII
! write en- his 0rical articles ant
z stuff the rest of correspondent
don't get. and that reminds us of
request Of a friend who wants he
I obituary written so she can read
, and we have been writing
y through various issues, and WI
continue to do so--but sne neve
: noticed it was her Funny ho'
: some folks grab-and some who Gle
+ serve stand back. Pass the bis
cults 49,,
Help.
We still maintain McConnelslil!
Star route patrons are unjustly tax
ed. When the Bostonians felt tha
way they threw the tea overheard
What worries us-should we throy
Dean. some postmaster general-o
who and over where? Any way W
can't think how lhcIe sam coul'
reconcile the statement OF some Q
his farm hands back about July 4
1T76. who said all men are abCu
the same-or words to that effect
with the fact that ali people OF Nor
gan county who get their mail iron
the McCGnnelsyille post office, Wit
the exception Of the said Star route
can send letter TO fllehds-o
business men of the said count
seat for two cents, and We pa.
