Mr.. Hedges of Noble county, di-
rector of the electric company, OPP
erative with offices at New Concord,
was caller on your scribe Friday,
needing our services as notary pub
lie. The case in question was in
Noble county, but the owners of the
land live in Bristol township, Nor
gan county, which necessitates a
Morgan county notary public. 1t
seems that some notaries don't
know how far their territory goes.
When we We're baby pa and ma
did everything the NJ DIS and all
the old women who had borne
babies told them to do to help us to
get up and on. Now we have the

hope babies born under such condi-
tions may climb higher than we
who started on catnip and milk.
From the old record of school

tol township Morgan county: At a

tice at the old school house ON the

looks much as he did years ago, he
will have to tell the census tabu-

1t seems that the Republican cam
didates of Morgan county are taking

ton of the representative and cOuil-

will request studio presentation.

Aunt Sarah Ann: When the
questions are easy, we always feel
we have more of a chance to show
that we are in the knowing class.
While a question about one percent
should be easy, but when you in
clude the 5000 it complicates mat
ters. 1t sure does seem funny that
they wanted to give'the 5000 to one
who refused to kick in. No it don't
seem right-(perhaps just is the
