rying a glass jug Of water. The jug
struck a rock and broke and he Ii
| with his hand in the broken glass
result a badly cut hand.
Guy Radcliff, the only lifelong
resident of the village, is under 6
doctors care. Rest and quiet were
prescribed, and there don't seem to
be much of either here-but Guy
will come out Of it.
Can 1t Be?
We noticed by last weeks paper
that they celebrated the birthday oi
an old gentleman by the name oi
Startling over at Todds. We use to
know a man by that name over
there-but he wasn't that old. Had
we known about it in time we would
have gone over and seen if he was
the one we knew. Keep right on
George.
A prominent farmer informs us
that he has found according to the
survey being made by school teach
ers and high school graduates, rel
ative to the soil conservation that
the land measuring mechanism on
the grain drills are incorrect. We
feel if such is the case the manu-
facturers of drills should be notified
so they may correct the mistake.
Mrs. Ollie Haines is recovering
nicely, and was able to go out for
an automobile ride Friday evening.
Please Notice
1t seems some of the judges and
clerks who were appointed to hold
elections in Morgan county, Sept. l,
1887, Sept 1, 1898, are not aware
of the fact that they are to help at
the primary August. Your term
not ending until Sept /, entities
you to serve. If you can't serve
tell your central committeeman at
once
The contractor will begin resur-
facing state route IS, McConneIs-
Vile to Reinersville, this week.
Oh Yes
We are to have a Morgan county
fair. In our travels over Morgan
county we find a lot of folks who
On account of physical disability,
can't get out and tramp the grounds
as you and but who are able to
come in automobiles. Let us not
only suggest-but request that the
fair board reserve place on the
grounds where they can park-see
the parades, races and they can
meet their friends. Won't you
please do it?-(A good suggestion.
-Ed.)
Word from C. c. Wilson is that
he is not improving.
While we have. often wondered
how we would get along filling
space on daily sheet, every once
in a while, some time the oppor-
tunity offers. If we know oppor-
tunity-for US. to try-and then
burn our manuscript.
Lately we were apprised kid
naping plot was brewing in the
county seat On account of the fact
that the intended victim is far and
away past the kid stage. We
wouldn't know how to start in. It
will be we'll for you old ladies who
have husbands who you think would
be worth kidnapping, to keep Mag
gle eye on them. While We feel in
doing this it will kick us out of a
colorful career, we feel duty comes
before destiny-and we will be sat
isfied to go along as Meigs cores
pondence at three cents per week.
and 8
When we say four and eight chill
dren, and perhaps some big folks at
once think 12-but in this case IL
is incorrect Four and eight refers
to our friend Amy Wilson, who Gil
July 25 finished SO years sojourning
here. What flood Of happiness :.
w-joy-sadness has been the
lot of our friend. She has borne
her sorrows with fortitude and shar-
ed her joys with others. On Sun
day evening relatives and friends
gathered at the home of her son,
w. E. Wilson, and family, where
Mrs. Wilson is being cared for, TO
remind and help her celebrate the
event A birthday supper was serv-
ed. Ed Carsey and family of Co
iumbus were among the guests. it
will be remembered that Mr.. Carsey
lived with the Wilson's in his young
manhood. Here's hoping Mrs. Will
son and your scribe may slide down
the western slope and next year we
may write 4 and 9.
Mrs. Charles Nichols, Caldwell,
mother of Mrs. Pearl Radcliff. and
C. D. Nichols of our village is re-
ported critically ill.
Only two weeks until the first
round of ballots. We notice some
of the candidates are handicapped
from the fact that they do not know
the politics Of the folks. We have
to have two political parties-if FOR
no other reason that one may
bring the other home when they ges
hung up.
Word from little Marie Miller is
that she is losing ground.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Robinson
CT Sarahsville parents are reported
seriously i'll.
