Samuel Ray lost a milk cow last
week. This is a hard blow on a
young man getting ready to raise
| family.
We find we have some good neigh
bors. Some of them came and
long and wide, we want to thank
them, and hope some of the others
may take the hint. We feel we
would like to tell Lossie that he is
! too old to chop wood, yet we know
he is smart enough to know that we
might not do it,
1t seems the postal officials can't
realize that we have moved When
one has received and sent mail at
one location for nigh unto 80 years.
it is hard for even US to realize
that we have moved, and that
brings to mind the fact that we
have received mail at Meigs Greek,
Meigs, Bristol and other places,
while temporarily away. We also
remember that we with our parents
got mail on route two, when the
route was established with Ben Ar
rick carrier, and now we are back
on the same route. For the present
that if Russell wants to carry it we
will get it when we go up to see
what is going on at the village.
And now comes H. A. Strong, Ft.
Scott, Kansas, and says he thinks
Ena,s right name was .Angel Lit
lief to postal clerks, newspaper
folks and so on, could everyone
write like H. A-but they can't.
Thanks, Howard.

Turkey prices don't suit the rails
ers. Why not turn a bunch loose
to become wild so hunters could
have chance to shoot them with

We find that it is much easier to
four phones on this line. SO far

what they discuss.
Many High brow" has fallen
arches.
Since we have gone south, it
seems new scenes-and old memor-

maybe of interest to our readers.
While it may be out of our territory,
we have book giving the secre-
tary's report of the Cross Roads
Presbyterian Sunday school from
| 1900 Up to and including 1912:
many folks who had part in the
Sunday school work at that time.
AS we looked over it hurriedly we
were impressed with the many who
have left the community to the
heavenly and other lands. Some of
these weeks after the holiday rush
mentioned during these years.
Harris Phillips, former teacher Of
the Meigs school, was in the neigh
borhood last week, selling cleo
trical appliances and making ar
rangements to wire some houses.
VIM. Youger was a business viS-
itor at Marietta. Thursday.
In our visit to the village Satur-
day we found the folks all well.
Electricity and house wiring SEEM
ed to be the main topic under dis
cussion. When we think of cleo
tricity we think of the story the
late Judge J. S. Taylor told US in
lows: "A professor asked his class
what is electricity? One student
answered, / did know but forgot.
hen the professor said, what a
shame, you are the only one ever
heard OF that ever did know"
Recently we asked q friend Il
they knew any news. They replied,
l"Nothing you could print"
The death of our brother came
not only as a shock to the immed-
late family. but to friends over the
county. (See sketch)..

creek is enough.
