wouldn't know where your farm is
located if sent out to look 1t over.
A friend told us recently that one
of those who tell you has owed him
for labor for over year-queer.
Quite number of the younger
folks met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Broedel, Friday evening,
honoring their daughter, Miss Mar
garet, student nurse of O. S. U. hos
pital, Columbus.
Hale brought back memories Of
the World war, when some of our
valiant boys gave their lives in de-
Tense of world democracy. When
some of the bodies of those who
gave their lives in defense of you
and me who on account Of were too
old-or on account of eyes, ears,
! feet, or some other cause, were
brought back and buried in the
! family lot of the old family church
yard-but some were left to sleep
their last sleep near where they
! fell in action, and here is what we
want to tell you-as we looked upon
the monument, or memorial placed
in the Bristol Presbyterian church
cemetery, in memory of Charles
Hale, our memory went back to our
writing of "Stories the Tombstones
Tell Those of you who are older
and followed us then, will perhaps
| remember that in both the Meigs
and Bristol cemeteries we found
memorials to folks who sleep else
where but to whom relatives had
placed a monument, or memorial.
We couldn't think of the word that
meant a grave-or space where the
body would have rested had 1T been
inferred there We asked a friend
who has stood beside the caskets of
more Bristol folks perhaps than
anyone in the county-but he
couldn't tell us. Then we went to
the editor with whom we discussed
the word when we used it. Not
having anything to do but remem
| ber, he told us, can you tell with
out looking?
Preparedness
Mrs. Wilma Mummey entertained
several of her lady friends Thursday
of last week. In exchange for the
entertainment and refreshments
they knotted five comforts. While
we have always realized that Wilma
is intelligent, we can't tell how she
knew it was to snow Saturday.
1t is queer but true that one has
to leave Muttonburg to realize what
a good place it is. In last weeks
Herald we read quite an effusion
about the trip of our friend and
neighbor, Vernon Whitehouse, who
had been out of sight of the old
home-out of hearing of those he
had known since he came to Meigs
He tells of an attorney of Bloom
ington, ILL., who wants a picture of
Muttonburg. We are surprised that
this attorney hasn't met our friends
Attorney Everett Oglevee and his
brother, the late H. H. Oglevee, and
got a word picture of their home
village, picture superior to any
that the camera-we care not what
the make could portray. The houses
set beside the hill, are not Nut
tonburg. We leave it to Everett to
paint the picture as he has it stor
ed in his memory chest.
We are glad to learn that Mrs
Frank McCarty, mention of whose
illness was noted in last weeks
Democrat is better
A drop of ink makes people think
right or wrong.
Bub Haines sold all his milk cows
last week, then started to restock
! by buying one cow from John BrOe-
del, and bidding on another.
We are called to clerk the sale
of our friends Chas. Kennard and
family of Malta, next Saturday at l
D. m. We are glad we can tell you
that this is not sale of discarded,
iunky furniture, but furniture which
you will be proud to own. When
YOU are the high bidder give us
your name, please.
In talking with some Of the influ-
entail as well as we'll to do folks we
find there is a move in the making
that if those in charge Of the distri-
buting of relief are going to hand it
out to some we'll to do folks that
everyone regardless of cash, color,
politics, religion, old, young, fat,
lean, long. short, and so forth and
so on are to request it is Inquired IN
so doing the eyes of the public will
be taken from the few, and be re-
lieved, not only eyes, but tongues.
But we are guessing lOlkS VIII Gull
tinue to talk about the few who
have put their neck's out. Perhaps
they will be marked as are those
who were called ''slackers."
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Reynolds, Mar
ion, were callers at the Ray home,
Sunday.
Mrs. John Broedel, with Mrs.
Margaret Wilson, r. NJ, went to Co
lumbus Monday, where Mrs. Broe-
del underwent a checkup with spe-
cialist.
Mrs. Lucy Roberts is reported in
disposed.
Jesse Weymer and family are
moving here to the Everett Wells
house, from Malta.
