Meigs creek, mans Fork) was
reported out of banks Friday night,
following pretty steady after
moons rain.
While we have been telling you
about births and deaths in Bristol
/ the past 80 years, we were surprised
to find that production hadn't kept
up.
| It appears the problem of caring
for the cemetery hasn't been solved.
i 1t seems a shame that this ceme-
terry which is visited by more people
than any other in the county, can t
be made beauty spot of our city of
the dead-instead of spot which
| is disgrace to the community.

Family Gathering and Dinner
Relatives of Mrs. Katie Haynes
who resides on the j. L. Glenn farm,
route two, gathered at her home
Sunday and enjoyed fine dinner
and social time. Four generations
were present, Mrs. Byanthia Baker,
first; Mrs Stella Sines, second; her
daughters Gertie, Clara, Dolores
and Mrs. Haynes, third; and their
children fourth. With Will Yauger,
brother of Mrs. Baker, and the hus-
bands and your scribe, the count
was 21 A fine dinner was served
cafeteria and much enjoyed. Mrs.
Baker who suffered broken hip
May 20, 1889, is going on crutches.
While she can't go as fast as she
did without the sticks, she goes
pretty good. They spoke of how
good the Glenns are to Katie and
the children. The thing that makes
their acts of kindness, their deeds |
of love SO outstanding, most like a
rainboW in clear sky, is the fact |
that so many of us don't do those
things, even to the extent that we
are able. Anyway we are proud to
know that Christian living by pre-
cept and example is not thing of |
the past, but is being exemplified I
by these folks.
We spoke of the coming of Mr.. |
and Mrs. Lawrence Embree of Ft. |
Lauderdale, Fla. Mr.. Embree who
holds a good position with Sears, |
Roebuck, started on the return trip |
Friday. He is in charge of the cleo
trical appliance department. AS
stated in a previous issue Mrs. En-
bree will attend summer school at
Mrs. Embree is a former
teacher of Muskingum county Since
going south she has been teaching |
in the Mcmillan school for tourists. |
Feeling that there was something of I
interest in regard this school we
talked with Marian and took notes. |
AS stated, the school is at FIT. Lau- i
derdale, Easiest growing city in U.
S." 27 miles north of Miami Mrs. |
Mae Mcmillan, wife of Judge McMil-
Ian, is proprietor and principal. The |
building formerly used as sanitor-
ium, is large and beautifully sit
uated. Thirty teachers are employ |!
ed AS stated the pupils are chill
dren of folks who come there to
spend the winter 1t is private.
They teach all grades from kinder
garten on through high school. The
students bring their own books,
coming from many different states,
they have a great diversity OF
books. Mrs. Embree tells of twin
sisters from the same school, but
from different rooms, who had diff
ferent texts on the same subject. !
The school starts in September and
continues until May, but the large
number are enrolled from the holi
day season until April The stu
dents come for most part from
very wealthy families, the rest from
moderately rich, as you can see BY
the tuition, $25 to $35 per pupil
per month. Besides the regular
course as taught in other schools, |
they also teach music, tennis and |!
swimming, which costs extra. When |
you go south look these folks up.
Mrs. Chas Nichols, Caldwell. |
and son Chad, celebrated their I
birthdays Sunday at the home of
the latter here, with "a enjoying
the big dinner. Mrs. Nichols who
has been in poor health for some
time remains about the same.

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Abe Torbert,
a daughter. The youngster will add |
to the population of Bloom town
ship.
We feel this Monday a. m. as
though we may not write any more, /
which reminds us of the story OF I
the man who left the community |
where he had resided. When told |
of his departure one man asked I
"Did anybody cry?" When another
replied 1--WE will wait until he |
comes back" We don't know what's |
wrong with us-so don't cry until |
ever way you feel about it.
Meigs creeks and tributaries were
at flood stage again Sunday after
noon. Hugh Ellis of Chesterhill has /
heard 300 times that Meigs creek |
was the highest ever known, and |
that is enough-so we won't tell
him any more.
