The early planted corn met the
freezing weather-the latter won
and the fields were disced and re-
planted.
1t seems we are seeing and hear
ing more than we have room for.
We feel that the following is of such
interest that we are giving it here:
III. A. Ashton, Chicago, ILL.,, who
owns the former Frank Rex farm,
will spend the memorial holiday at
the farm. Mr. Ashton received a
letter recently from his mother and
sister who live in England, telling
that their home had been bombed,
and that they are living in a bomb
cellar. We hope to spend some time
with Mr. and Mrs. Ashton while they
are here. Mr.. and Mrs. Sheridan
Brooks are residing and operating
the Ashton farm. While we are over
in that neighborhoOd we want to
spend some time with Mrs. Linnie
Walls Dye, Trenton. N. j., who is
visiting with her brother. Fred
Walls and family Mrs Dye is an
educated lady who has Travelled
much and can tell of what she has
seen.
Robert Kalb suffered bad injury
to the index finger of his right hand.
He thought one of the holes in the
lime spreader was not working. He
stuck in his finger to find out. 1t
was.
Mrs Kay Barnes was i'll with flu
last week, but is recovered now. At
first she thought it was measles.
Owing to the fact that neither Mr..
and Mrs. Barnes or daughter Cue,
have had them, they are not running
into them on purpose.
Mrs. f. c.. Swallow who has been
on the sick list for some time, is
improved
Bristol township school closes

ner will be a feature of Friday, the

Mr.. and Mrs. S. w Scott, former
Bristol folks, who have been resid-
ing at Moundsyille, w. Va, for
some time. moved recently to Hal
cyon Hills. w. Va, where Mr. Scott
is employed in a green house. One
day each week he clerks a stock
sale.
While the wind did quite a bit Of
damage in the neighborhOod last
Friday. the rain did a lot of good.
A heavy frost was reported in places
Sunday morning. Fog along the
creek saved gardens and fruits. AS
yet after so much freezing weather
fruit seems to be unharmed. In
fact many trees seem to be over
loaded
Mr.. and Mrs Gerald Carpenter.
Clarksville, Arkansas, arrived last
week for q visit with their home
folks here and at Chesterhill Mr.
Carpenter is employed with an oil
and gas company.
Starting To See The Country
Janet, little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs Earl Wilson, caused her moth
er to move in high one day last
week. when unbeknown to her left
the yard and started on her way to
the home of Mrs. Carrie Ray. Mr.
and Mrs. Ray McKibben who recent
Iy moved TO John Whitney's Muir
ray) farm, met her at the Campbell
bridge Not knowing her they took
her to the Sherman home nearby,
where they found where she be-
longed. and returned her TO her
home. 1t seems it was harder on
Irene than on Janet. We see sew
efal ways we could go from here
one-that is nice to have children
like you and want to come TO see
you, two-that folks have time to
restore a child to its parents, and
third we seem to remember of hear
ing of Janet's father and his broth
er Ellis in their childhood, used to
hit the highways and fields without
an address behind. On account of
the fact that we have quite a bit
more writing to do. we will leave it
to you We are glad Janet is safe
and sound, and that we have found
some more good folks.
AS we travel over the hills and
daies we often see flower or plant
that we can't name We would like
to know who in our county seat is
