Death of Former Resident
1t was with surprise and sorrow
we learned of the death of Leslie D.
Adams, GAINESVILLE, former resident
of Bristol. He was the adopted son
OF Richard and Frances Adams His
age was given as sc. His death oc-
Cured Thursday, Feb. 2, following
cerebral hemorrhage. He is sur
vived by his widow, Mrs Pearl Ad-
ans; a son, Elfer, and a daughter,
Mrs Elizabeth F. Stevens. Funeral
services were held Saturday after
room, with intermeEt in Greenwood
cemetery. Many boys around our
age owed the fact we learned to
swim to Les. He was tall, and when
we got beyond depth and strength
gave out, he would wade in and get
us.
Somewhere in Holy Writ it says
something about brethren dwelling
i'll unity While we have plenty of
widows-it seems the widowers are
OF the same mind. We are inform
ed-perhaps we had better run it
over the small screen, before we
give it to you.
The red in the tube touched two
points below the home plate at our

Some of our Republican friends
whom we call the salt of the party
tell us we will be put back on the
state highway. We made no effort
to stay on-only to do an honest
days work. While we have made
no effort to get back, we would be
glad, if we could, if we can go back
as free American citizen, without
any entangling strings.
School Bus Catches Fire
A school bus belonging to c. d.
Nichols, with Lloyd Ellis, driver,
caught on fire Friday evening, near
the W. D. Hancher residence. Mr..
Ellis drives the Unionville route,
and had safely delivered all his pu-
pills. 1t is thought the fire was
caused by the bus dragging and
pushing the exhaust pipe up against
the body. The fire was extingu1shed
with only minimum damage. Mr..
Nichols had repaired, and ready for
the trip Monday. Some wild rumors
were circulated which we are glad
were not correct.
IN the pdSSllS VI 11u wal AAAA
mond, Chesterhill route, another OF
our old friends has gone on. AT one
time Mr.. Hammond resided just
over the line in Meigsville town
ship. on what is now the Mrs. Ce-
Iesta Glenn farm.
Sunday was children's day at the
Dennis Embree home, as most OF
their children spent the day there.
