Morgan County February

we have often found folks had te
die to be appreciated. All we had
to do was stay out one week. While
we didn't count the readers Wnc
missed us, we tried to think OF
those who meant $3.50 year in
advance to Raymond Durbin. While
we are on the subject, did you know
that there are lot of folks back on
their subscriptions? Many of whom
could pay if they wanted to??
One time a friend told us that he
visited Florida. Later in telling OF
his experience and so on in a gath
ering, one of the number asked
where Florida was. Not fool
idiot-but one like your scribe,
who didn't know whether North

tonburg, which leads us to wonder
whether education is acquired-or
is a birthright, which leads us on
to the thought that if many of our
readers, if they can't write, would
tell us correspondents, lot of val
liable information would go into
the records.
If someone missed us, We
wouldn't wait three years to tell it
would you? Back longer than
some of our readers remember,
when a Republican governor was at
the helm, the said governor sent
one of his appointees into Morgan
in a state car, fuelled with state
gas, to electioneer for the said gov
ernor. So far as we know and
further as the records show no jury
was called in session to question
the facts.
Emmett Woodard, while conva-
lescing, the incision continues to

While the moon may have lot
of influence on we folks, we find
that even folks under civil service
to whom we have to listen
don't know much about "Mr.
Moon" We find that in January
we had a new moon, Jan. 1-due to
have another the 31st; 1st quarter,
7th; full moon, 18th; last quarter,
21st Now without looking, does
the changes occur every seven days?

Frederick Radcliff, school bus
driver, was off duty Thursday with
heart trouble, but was back at the
wheel Friday.
AS to the consolidation of the
churches we are convinced that
some Of the proponents of the idea
will be shoveling mud-or on relief,
if it ever comes to pass. Our private
opinion publicly expressed: "The
Lords cause wouldn't suffer to any
great extent-if some of them
would shovel dirt now.'
The East and West
So far we find our Republican
friends have two candidates for
county commissioner on this side
of the bridge, who will try to put
their feet under the table, where
Nate Wood is sticking his, and the
campaign is only in the dawning by
the Sockum Watch spelled "To hell
with the End term"
It seems funny to us that women
disagree about the color of their
hats, wall paper, painting of their
house, and then all slap bunch OF

Sunday we stopped to chat with
Mrs. John Anderson, who has been
an invalid the past several years.
Friend Ida went on the sit down
long before MuttOnburg knew there
was a CIO. In Ida's case 1t was
against her will. While she appre'

much rather have you call and see
her, so she can talk back.
Everyone perhaps has more or
less appreciation of the kind deeds
of friends, but we believe Emmett
Woodard has it 100 percent While
he can not see or write to all who
have remembered him, his heart IS
full of it-and he has, and will be
ready to help others.
