left for New York for look at
the gorgeous Worlds Fair. :.
DOROTHY HALL was dropping

probably well situated in pic

Honeymooners returned: DIR. and
MRS. GEO. BERRY, who have re-
turned from honeymoon down in

looking too fine and happy for

You see the out-of-towner hasn't
been really serious with any of the
three but was just escorting first
one and then the other to various
affairs. Now, tits said, the gals
don't have very much to say to
each other, and when they do speak
the remarks are anything but
friendly. (Ain't friendship grand

What Is More Beautiful?

What could be more beautiful than the out
doors, at this time of year. in this locality? 9th
er places may have richly colored forests and
fields, but in no community is it more beautiful
than in Morgan county now. We can't adequate
ly describe it-neither any artist this
earth paint so beautiful picture. On the hill
sides the woods stand out like huge bouquets
the brilliant and more somber shades combining
like vast piece of tapestry-here and there
fringed with green felds-then along the river
and larger streams is the soft velvety reflection in
the CLASSY waters. It is not in every community
that we find such a picture-in fact there are
places far distant in this state where the eye
is not treated to such sights. Those who may feel
that their fall scenery is the finest to be found
any place, we invite them to take trip down the
Muskingum, and see if you don't change your
mind
