Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1939-10-12

ours recited an eulogy that far sur
passed any we had-or could have
written Thanks: When the girls
asked us to thank neighbors and
friends, who had been kind to them
but who had only done the things
they were glad to do, the thought
came to us that we never know
what these little acts mean until
| they are done for us. The more
you do for others-the more you ap-
preciate them when done for you.
Mrs. Forest Foraker, Pittsburgh,
and her mother Mrs. VIM. Ogan,
| Cumberland, were callers at the z.
/ T. Crooks home, Wednesday of last
! week
Albert Mcconnell lost one OF
/ his fat hogs recently-cause OF
death unknown.
Mrs. Ella Little, daughter Miss
frankie, Mrs. Margaret Little and
son Kenneth, spent Wednesday OF
last week with relatives at Rose
Vile.
Quite a crowd of the younger set
met at the Delbert Roberts home
! Wednesday evening as farewell
party to these folks. A wiener roast
was enjoyed. AS noted last week
the Roberts are moving to Malta.
While there are still few folks
| in Bristol who have not been on re-
lief-mostly Democrats-yet both
kind have become cogniZant OF the
fact that the lone man boulevard
is a theme song that the county Of
, ficials won't singer want to hear
sung when they nicker for the feed
bag in 40.
Operation
Mrs. Francis Embree, of Colum-
bus. underwent an operation We'd
nesday of last week in which a
tumor VISA removed from her stom-
ach. She is reported doing nicely.
Mr. Embree is connected with the
farm machinery department of
Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Our new landlord, c. T. Crooks,
who has been going on crutches,
fell Thursday of last week in the
yard. While everybody was scared
thinking it meant another break OF
the crippled hip, after he got back
in the house it was found he had
suffered only a bruised knee-the
only break being broken crutch,
which is now fixed and all is better
if not well.
A kitchen shower was given Mr.
and Mrs. John C. Sherman. newly
weds, Thursday night, at the home
of Mr.. Sherman's parents, Mr.. ana
Mrs. George Sherman.
Some folks are no bigger than
their press agents make them. Some
big folks have no press agents.
II looks now as though they Will
look for oil and gas where it is
in Bristol. We understand inter
ested parties have all the acreage
they want, except a few farms which
will be optioned in the next few
days.
We presume if there isn't enough
names on the Ripper bill' peti-
tions the ten days will make them
look different.
Having been in two automoblle
wrecks-one in which We escaped
without a scratch-the other not so
lucky. since when, we see where II
would be easy to have one. In fact
we saw one there at the one-way
bridge at the Bone-Greer farms on
state highway rs. This bridge is on
curve and cars coming from the
east cannot see the bridge until
within a few feet of it, The cost OF
widening the bridge would not cost
anything near what human life is
worth. We believe the editor Will
confer a favor on the travelling pub
| lie by sending marked copy OF
! this issue to the state highway de-
partment at Columbus and Marietta
The secretary of states office was
slow in sending the ballot forms to
the county election board, which
causes a delay in the printing of the
ballots. If you can't vote early
vote when you can.
The Morgan county board Of cleo
tions checked the names on the RID
per bill petitions, Saturday ana
found few errors. One signer mac
died. Some women insist on sign
ing Mrs John DOe"--Or their hus-
bands name-or initials. The elec-
ton board don't care what your hus-
bands name is, it is you we want to
know about. Sign your Christian
name-leave the Mrs off If we
want to find out about whether you
are married or not we will ask
Judge Torbert. Sign Jane, Sarah,
Martha-but never Mrs. J. w, H.
J. and so on So far as we could
see. there were as many Republicans
as Democrats signed the Morgan
