We are not only surprised at thu
great number of folks who are com
menting on our historical writings
but the kind of folks that they are
Only today (and that brings to oul
mind conversation we had with
Mr.. Durbin in regard to the use oi
the word today. Let us explain
when he uses it he means Thursday
When we use it it may be any day
of the week. In this case it is Mon
day. Our copy for the issue OF
March 20, is in and perhaps gone
through Harold's machine and We
are starting on next weeks. If this
isn't clear perhaps you had better
get some old Dutch settler. What
we started to say before our pencil
took off, we met long time friend
who wants to know some of the
history of his village, Meigsville, and
he gave us lead. One of the things
he told US about was: Some men
were working on a barn when part
of the folks were running chick
en- down, one of the men on the
barn threw his hatchet at the chick
en- as it came by Instead of hitting
the chicken, he hit the young man
pursuing it, in the head which af-
fected his mind. He got the idea
that there were some folks there
about who ought to hanged. With
the aid of horse and sled he haul
ed timber in back of where Mrs.
Neely's store now stands, and built
a gallows. Some of the neighbOrs
fearing he might catch some Of the
children of the neighborhood, and
try out his handiwork, went at night
and burned it down. We wonder If
the venerable Elijah Tavenner
knows the story better than we
have told it?
Where .'Down" Was ups"
Back in the days when our opera
house was really an opera house
when a company came and put on
such plays as 1.-The Two Johns, "The
Missouri Girl" and so on, we had
the show-going habit-as some have
the picture show habit today We,
when alone, would always go up
stairs, on account the difference N
price, and it was the same show up
as down. Then one winter we
went to an uncle's in Missouri. We
noticed by the paper that show was
to be there that We wanted to see.
Without saying anything to the
folks, we went and bought bal
cony ticket When we looked the
folks up there over, we found that
we were for once the "white sheep" ,,
OF the bunch That is, we were the
whitest one up there. When we
looked down we noticed uncle Char
ley In the front row. At breakfast
next morning we mentioned the fact
that it was a good show, when uncle
said: II didn't see you there to
which we replied: II was sitting
behind you" Because they were
whites they though they were ups
but that was one time / was white. |

of the town. Queer world says l.

hear the st. Patrick day programs,

S. II. ID. LANDSCAPE WORK

Chas A. Ferguson, state highway
division engineer, at Marietta, has
released a report of the landscape
| work done by the highway depart
ment in Morgan county. Projects
Of various types have been carried
out including roadside parks, eros
ion control, slopes stabiliZatlon,
BERN and slope seeding, tree plant
ing along the primary highways,
and general landscaping.
In Morgan county, tree planting,
vine planting, the seeding of berms,
and projects We're completed in the
past year. These projects were not
only designed to beautify the high
ways, but mainly as part of an
treatment of the berms, slopes and
seeding, together with vine and
tree planting not only means less
maintenance cost in the future to
the highway system, but is an eX-
cellent preventative measure stop
ping erosion of slopes, which would
eventually reach the point where
the owner of the land adjoining the
highwy would suffer considerable
loss Of valuable farm land caused
by the erosion.
In Morgan county, at the present
time, the S. H. d. is constructing a
roadside park near Chesterhill on
state route 555 The park will be
completed about April 1st, and will
contain four outdoor ovens, tables,
sanitary facilities, water wells, and
shelter. A rustic rail fence will
surround the park
One of the most recent projects
started in Morgan county is the
beautifying and improvement of
state route II north of McConnels-
vile. This program consists of the
construction of number of turn
outs or roadside parking areas.
These parking areas will be from
200 to $50 feet in length, and 20 to
80 feet deep. A low rustic native
stone wall will be border to the
area along the river bank with the
proper planting of shrubs at each
end of the wall. The parking area
proper will be of bituminOus surface
material from the stone wall on the
edge of the present highway. These
parking areas are being located at
scenic spots along the Muskingum
river so that motorists may have a
safe parking place from which to
view the ever changing river seem
cry. At the present time plans call
for three of these parking areas in
the distance of eight miles. The
cost of such areas is small and their
value to motorists and tourists is an
added service of the highway de-
partment at large.
This work is being done under
the supervision of T. H. Mccormick,
division landscape architect, with
the help of N. Y. A. boys who are
furnishing the labor. Another ac-
complishment is the blackcoating of
the upper end of Main street in NAL
ta, which has been much needed for
many years. Many county roads
have been resurfaced with bitumi-
nous material.
