CHAPTER XIV


The history Of a township is writ
ten in so many places. We find so
much we would like to include, but
were we to start along that line
it would include every family, and
take months of gathering and writ
ing, but we want at this time to tell
you about the little house that stood
on the east side of Bear Run, on
the farm now owned by MerWin-
Haines. Built by John Snedeker
for work shop, then remodeled
into a residence. This was back in
the years when there were many
more inhabitants than now. In fact
we believe after careful thought
that there have been more houses
built and occupied in the township,
and are now only memory than
now standing and occupied.
Mr.. Snedeker sold the house and
six acres of land connected there
with to the late w. A. Shipley,
who in turn sold to VIM. Phillips,
who then owned the MerWin-
Haines farm. Of the many who
have lived there we think Of the
following: J. E. and VIM. Lind1-
more, Jas Phillips, Clint Fox, Geo.
Carnes. We think of some of our
readers who were born there, but
as we do not have the complete list
we continue by saying this old house
which is no more, is only one of the
dozens that have gone from sight
but not from memory of many
who occupied them, and who were
born there. some time perhaps. the
folks who have been part of Bris-
tol-in it's church, social life, per
haps they only labored and lived
loved. then something lured their
body away but their memory-yea
their heart is still here. / say per-
haps they will meet here in reun-
ion. While the years have mown
down many, yet there are still many
left whom ii would give us pleasure
to meet and greet
Folks
In our boyhood there were few
of the inhabitants of the township
who got clothes better than their
neighbors, then tried to set them
selves on a throne, whereas they
would have fitted milk stool much
better. Times have changed. That
same breed, strip off all the law
will allow. and more than any de-
cent law should allow but they
don't need to get on pedestal,
folks can see too much from the
ground We can't help wondering
what would happen to men like theI
venerable Seth Andrews, John
Whitney, ST., and Arthur Crisman,
should they come back and meet
women attired as we see them to-
day And that brings to our mind
the discussion they had years agol
in the church here regarding theI
qualifications required of elders. Wei
they argued, "They mustI
be the husband of one wife" and
that a bachelor, or widower, wasl
debarred. Women were to keepI
silent Tin church,.
We have often wondered if thel
wives didn't tell their husbands
what to say While the Bible has
not been changed, we find women
are not only carrying on here, but inl
all churches. If it were not SO, in
many cases there would be mol
churches. Did you ever stop toI
think that it is 00's that makes the
digets look big? If you are in thei

BELGRADE. Oct. %. CUP)-Re-
ports reaching Belgrade from the
Albanian frontier today said
a widespread revolt had broken out
in Albania.
The word of the reported revolt
seeped over the Jugoslav-Albanian
frontier to the town of Pee
According to the information re-
ceived there the revolt had broken
out in many parts of Italian-occu-
pied Albania and was of a serious
character.
These reports alleged that the
italian attack upon Greece was
precipitated by the spread of revolt
against Italian rule in the little
country which Italy took over in
March, 1899.
Word reaching here said that the
trouble started when Italian troops
a few days ago occupied certain
mountainous regions on the Greco
Albanian frontier in an effort to
stamp out Albanian revolutionarieS

Italy's invasion of Greece, which
began Monday morning, is preli-
minary stroke to an eventual Of
fensive against Suez and the mid
die East from a new direction. Hit
Ter and Mussolini comforting at
Florence are now directing this
new phase of the battle of the Brit
ish empire made necessary by Mar
shal Grazianis inability to attack
the British in North Africa with
assurance of success in reaching
SueZ.
Three possible objec.ives have
formed the italian strategy in their
Greek operations. They are aimed
at trying TO obtain mastery of the
Aegean Sea and the Greek north
ern, eastern and southern coasts.
The first objective is the north
ern Aegian port of Salonika This
movement means a march through
Macedonia along the border Of Ju-
goslavia. If it were successful. the
Italians would be half way to the
western boundary of European Tur-
key. threatening a blank movement
against the Turks, III the event OF
Germany undertaking later drive
against the Dardanelles.
The second objective is the east
ern Greek coast, with the Italians
striking force moving southeast.
The main immediate purpose of
this operation would be the cap
ture of Athens. If it were success
full, naval expedition might then
land forces on the Aegean islands
securing command of the Aegean
Sea.
Once that were accomplished, it
would be possible for an Axis force
to land on the Turkish coast, far
south of the Dardaneiles, making
unnecessary the hazardous opera
ton of capturing the Dardanelles.

Premier Refik Saydam in a ma

the situation "is becoming graver

The broadcast was made at 10

In the face of the dark and
uncertain situation which is be-
coming more and more grave, the

JusosIovs Fear
General Warfare

BELGRADE, Oct. %. CUP)-Ju-
goslavia feared today that it would
be swept quickly into the flaming
war in the Balkans, possibly through
demands by Germany and italy for
passage of troops which most Ju-
goslav sources said would be re-
| sisted. #'f
Italian troops, aided by strong
air units, opened their attack on
Greece on the Camurjia district,
just south of Albania, and heavily
attacked Konispoli, opposite the
strategic Greek Island of Corfu,
! according to reports received here.
Information received here was
that the italian attack upon Greece
followed widespread uprising in
Albania which resulted in repeated
clashes between Italian armed fore
es and Albanian rebels in the noun
famous district close to the Greek
border.
Widespread apprehension was
aroused here by the outbreak and
fear of Jugoslav embodiment was
general. Urgent consultations were
under way to determine Jugoslavia S
position. which was expected to be
one of neutrality. A similar position
of neutrality was expected of Bull
garia.
Turkeys position was uncertain
as yet. The Turkish legation said
however, at 240 pm. G:30 am.
EST that no announcement OF
Turkeys attitude toward the con-
flict should be expected for cou-
pie of days.
1t was believed here that the
question of free transit of Jugosla-
via by German and Italian troops
had been raised during the Jugoslav
German economic negotiations con-
cluded week ago. The demand
was expected, it was said, if the
British land troops in Greece.
Informed opinion here was that
Jugoslavia would resist such a de-
mand. It was recalled that Jugoslay
leaders in speeches in the past two
weeks have said that every inch oil
Jugoslavian territory and all hel
liberty and integrity would be de-
Tended.
