Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1941-12-18

are not the only man above the age
limit who wants to be used to help
win the war. We feel that there
should be a meeting of all men of
Morgan county who are too old to
get into the army and formulate
plans to help. There are two
kinds of folks we enjoy-folks who
don't know and don't know it, and
folks who know and don't want
folks to know tive were sorry
that our friend Herschel "Dick"
Mcconnell had to get hurt. Dick is
one of our young men who didn t
let high school diploma make
him think he didn't have to get his
hands soiled Here's hoping he
may soon be back on the job.--The
local in last weeks paper in re-
garding the oil and gas business
was incorrect, as no location has
been made public-if made. We
believe what Mr.. Durbin meant to
say was on the east side, instead Of
Bristol township" Anyway We
don't know where it is to belfast
week we met Tom Harmon of
GAINESVILLE Tom was engineer, pick,
infancy days of roads in Bristol
township He has been in poor
health for several years, and unable
to work. Mrs. Harmon (Lillie Huff
mani who has been an invalid for
some time, remains about the same.
Their daughter, Mrs. Wilma Kap-
pei, is a patient in the Franklin
county sanatorium, i'll with tubercu-
losis. She has had two ribs re-
moved and will have to have two
more. She has three children.
Nate, son of Tom and Lille is a
foreman at the shoe factory in
GAINESVILLE, at nice salary. He has
not missed a days pay in the last
three ars.--Speaking Of roads,
Bristol township has some space be-
tween two fences over in the north
east corner of the township that we
believe, should our trustees have to
travel over at night, would order
improved the next day 1T is
through the Floyd Hill farm.--E.
w. Salladay, veteran oil and gas
leaser, Byesville, was here last
week. He will have us do some
work for him later.--We wonder
j why a lawyer can be n. P. any
where in the state and other folks
be limited TO their respective coun-
i ty.--We are sorry to hear OF the
critical illness of our good friend,
Mrs. Taylor, of Center township. =
4 No word has been received from
4 Elmer Gerlach, who is chief radio
man on the u. S. Detroit, at Pearl
Harbor, since Dec. 6. The Detroit
was not attacked.--Th The death o1
Willard Davis has taken man who
was widely known as huckster, mer
chant and notary public.--We don
know how the government is doing
regarding the scrap iron collection
In our travels we have noticed lots
of old machinery on farms, whose
owners are not able to donate it, but
would be glad to sell it.--Rev. Har
ry Young, pastor of the Thoburr
Memorial church, ST. Clairsville
and his brother, Clarence, who ha:
been in Camp Shelby, Miss, bu
who was to go to camp in Louis
lana were recent callers on theil
aunt, Mrs. G. E. Best, and husband
The formers son, William, is il
the aviation division. Harry ant
Clarence are sons of the late join
Young and are former Bristol resi-
dents. From the program and pic
ture, we believe St. Clairsvill
church is among the big ones O
the Cambridge district. Mrs. Bes
has a Japanese cherry tree whicl
has her wondering whether she cal
keep and be patriotic. 1t might b.
we'll to keep it so that her grand
children may remember that ther'
was country called Japan.
Mrs. John Muse
The death of Lizzie Allison Mus
of Norwich has taken another for
mer Bristol woman, who was helt
in high esteem by large circle o
friends here.
Scribe "Reminiscences
When we read the account Of th'
Kester family reunion it brought Il
