Being SO we'll pleased with tn
way we stood the trip Sunday, w
decided to try it again Monday, s
early Monday morning Earl arrive
and away we went; we wondering
If we would be the making 20 o
80 killed in Ohio that day. A
Pennsville we looked at the i'm
4, provement of the village by the ney
| concrete-we were about to sa
| road-but it is more than a road
| sidewalks, driveways, terracing an
so on. Our friend Charley Graham
| informed us that the work was com
| pleted, and ahead of the time set il
the contract-that no one was hurt
only two men "fired," that Mr.. Ad
| ans the contractor did several hun
dred dollars worth of work he dit
| not have to do. Says l it make
Pennsville look all perked up. A
Chesterhill we talked with our cou
sin, Mae Creighton While she il
deeply interested in the bette
things-she is always appreciativ,
of the funny side. At Roostervillt
we found our sister, Esther j. Cal
vert, in good health and spirits
Our next friend on the route was
Jack Johnson. We noticed he walk
ed with cane. There wasn't any
widow women about. Next we stop
ped and chatted with Mrs. Mary
of Mandy and Lafe, especially, let us
say she was formerly Mary Shook
daughter of Isaac Shook, and was
born in Bristol, S3 years ago, Jan
Is, last. Our last stop was at the
county hospital, where we found
our friends about the same as on a
former visit, and now we are back
The only thing we can see wrong
was the fact we hadn't enough
time.
John Wilson Scott, Miss Alice
Marie Scott and Harold Reed Of
GAINESVILLE, spent the holiday season
at the John Anderson home.
Strange as it may seem, thoughts
brought to mind by messages tell
ing Of the passing of friends-yea
of loved ones, call our minds to
yonder years-of happy hours,
pleasant occasions spent with the
departed.
Methinks it good that we can
look much farther back than for
ward-that We may sift out the un-
pleasant from the pleasant, and
leave golden memories and relive
those pleasant hours.
AS we pondered on the passing of
our friend, William S. Rowland,
our mind went back over the years
when he was a resident Of this
town-mail carrier, undertaken. The
most interesting part of it all to us
was the fact that he read our writ
ings and not only helped us with
information, but corrected our mis-
takes. 1t was told of him that of
the many and varied things he had
to do and get while carrying the
mail he wrote no list, but always
got what his patrons wanted, if it
was in the town. We will miss him.
To those who will miss him most we
extend sympathy Mr.. and Mrs. R.
F. McGregor. Miss jamie McGregor,
Mrs. Dora Flanders, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. F.. Fox, Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Lit
tie and H. H. Little attended the
funeral
Appendicitis Operation

evening of last week, where on Sat-
urday, she underwent an operation
for appendicitis. At this writing,
Sunday, she is reported doing nice
ly.
State route 7S from Reinersville
to the Noble county line is to be
'.scarified." This word to road men
means to tear-up and roll down. At
the present time it is badly Scared.
The Republican papers are MAX
ing quite a fuss about the spending
of government money. So far we
haven't heard of any Republican
objecting to- or trying to have that
part done away with from which
they are drawing in salary, or COM
pensation. Have you?
At meeting of the Morgan coun-
ty election board, Thursday night,
the copy was given to the Herald
Printing company for printing the
ballots for the August primary,
and for a special election in the vii
lage of Stockport AT meeting
Saturday night proofs were read
and found correct. Members OF the
central committee in whose pre-
cincts there have been deaths, or re-
moval of judges, or clerks, will file
names of someone to take their
places. at once, please.
While motoring last Sunday our
driver steered the machine over in
to Marion township, where we saw
the ravages wrought by Goshen run
Saturday night, following what
must have been cloudburst. Much
wheat which was in shock was
washed away; uncut wheat was wash
ed down; corn was washed down,
and quite bit washed out. At the
Charles Huffman home, the water
was five inches in the house-a rec
ord-breaker At the Hugh Ellis
home we found Hugh who has been
in poor health for some time, i'm
proved. He found that Wolf creek
had been out looking through his
lay and corn. Coming back to Nc
Connelsville we called at the John
Whitney home, which is one OF, II
not the finest homes we have ever
been in. While much of the furni-
ture is antique, it does not show Its
age (as you and y. While there
the siren blew and our driver, E. X.
Wilson, D. W., found out man had
drowned up the river, SO up we
went, where we found large crowd.
We spent an hour watching them
drag for the body, but they had not
found it when we left. So we
wheeled homeward and started
"pencilling." At this point we rest
(the pencil) and will go out to hunt
more material.
Raymond Belts suffered a severe
heart attack, Saturday.

Ben Haines tells us he saw him only
