ling store we received welcome
just the same as though we made a,
]. appointment to buy a range, a cas-
ket, or furniture to go to house
keeping. Mrs. Mindling is one O
the ladies we heard sing some tim.
ago. Mrs. Keith wasn't there, or We
might have had more to writ,
about. After conyersing with then
we are sorry we haven't known
them longer. They are glad to see
you and give you a warm welcome
In their profession they seem to
forget there is any pay, and act as
though they are kind neighbors
We found business man who
thought advertising didn't pay
y After talking with his competitors
we were unable to verify the state.
ment Back in our boyhood we at
tended school taught by John
Raney. Knowing that there was
a man by that name in the vii
lage. we looked him up, thinking
he might be glad to learn that we
didn't know mrch more than we
Gid then-but he didn't meet the
specifications of our John. Bey-
erly must be half good, at any rate
we noticed an attorney who only
puts in half time there. Speak
ing of attorneys, we looked IN
some of our county seat offices and
, found them busy, and we talked
+, with a preacher. We were surpris-
! ed to learn that our lawyers and the
! preacher have and are reading the
same kind of literature 1--WE come
nigh forgetting our postmaster)
!, that the Meigs scribe wanders
J throug ugh-then wonders about-like
"Flarvius Josephus' and Fleet
woods Life of Christ We are led to
believe if our preachers would min
gle more with our lawyers, doctors,
/ fruit tree agents and SO on through
the week they would mingle with
the said preachers more.
Let us suggest to our friend Liz
zie of the Spurrier Ridge pencil,
that if it stays hot we will come
over and fan her, If she will do the
| writing.
Tickets Please
1t seems sort of funny who is CIV
ing and who is receiving free tick
cts to the Ohio State fair. We are
most sure those giving them out
are not under civil service-be wise
BE economical, get yours before
you start Don't ask us, we didn't
even switch to vote for Barrett-or
informed that the county agent Is
ter the election.
Will Yauger returned home Fri
day from his visit in West Virginia.
He reports he was sick much Of the
time, while he thinks 1t was the
, drinking water, some Of his friends
have suggested he should have
known better than to drink water
strange water at that.
Did you ever notice that Jas. A..
| Garfield was elected president by a
majority of 7,O1S over Hancock?
Mrs. John Broedel is on the sick
| list.
We Can't Get Our Bearings
We hear our Republican friends
| crying the country is broke-then
we read ''12 steel concerns boost
earnings to 121 millions" Then 1t
goes on to say there was only ten.
AS guests of John and Ella Whit
| ney, Ruby c. and your scribe mo-
| tored over rs as far as Lewisville,
| Saturday, where they went to see
about their oil and gas interests.
| While John was in consultation, we
| listened to Willkie. We would
| much rather know what w. D., c.
| S., G W., ]. D., Myers, and so on,
of the old school taught by Taft
Dewey and such men thought of it,
| than to express our opinion We
hn Ia oh ~ Tnj,
ty 1t don't seem that it would be
much punishment to board with
her We had been told that Cald-
| we'll was dry, but John having aud
tied the books over there was onto
the ropes and knew where they sold
iced tea and butter milk right an
der the sheriff's nose. On the way
home we came by the way of the
Gilliland Flower Shoppe We be-
lieve Farm" would be better
| word If you are lover of the beau
tiful flowers, feast your eyes there.
A nice trip which leads US to Won
der why Morgan county folks want
to make long journeys, and spend
much money to see sights not nearly
so beautiful, or wonderful as
those found here in Morgan county
and southeastern Ohio.
