Looking over the farm map OF
Bristol township in the county atlas
published in 1875, we find not a
land owner of that time is living to-
day-and many of these farms have
gone on to the third generation.
Last Tuesday we accompanied
Earl Wilson, dog warden, to Column
bus, with a dog head Not being an
official we weren't sure whether we
would be admitted or not. Honest
ly those in charge seemed pleased
to see us. At first we thought Earl
might have gone to the wrong place,
and they thought we had brought
Earl, but when Earl told them about
what kind of head it was, it didn't
way they dropped everything and
went after the Morgan county ca
nine, we thought they must be
working by the head. But Earl says
they are on salary. We watched
them closely-saw what they did
but didn't know why, so we had to
agree they knew when a dog had.

saw the parking meters, which call
ed to mind an experience related by
one of our friends who, while trav-
cling, came to one of those nickel
in the slot toilets. Not having a
nickel, she put in dime-"as her
mother was with her." If you want
to know the rest, try it yourself.
We were saddened when we heard
that friend Ada Hatton was dead.
While we had known for some time
that the end was near, and hoped
she might be saved that horrible
suffering, yet when the word came
"She is gone" we looked back
through the years with her-and
then tried to look through the COM
ing years without her. Always
methodical, exacting in her own
work, she was lenient with the mis-
takes of we, who had not the ability.
or the training she possessed. To
those who will miss her most. we
can only say, we mourn with you.
