r is the fact that Bristol is to los
e these good folks, as they are movin
g to Duncan Falls.
IS Mrs. T. NJ Shook and sons Rich
4 ard and Ronald, South GAINESVILLE
were guests of the formers parents
c. B. and Ruby G. Ray, last week
Many of our readers will be a
much surprised as were we to learl
that Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Greer ma,
Shilling), Malta, have triplets. Per
haps we should tell you that the.
are lambs.
AT the Frank Sands home We
found the children have had mumps
measles, flu, and now the baby boy
has boil on his back. At the Mrs
Ora Stalker home we found Mrs
Stalker who has been confined to her
bed the past month with high b1ool
pressure, improving.
We travelled with S. A. Mcconnell
Thursday of last week We followed
him to the sheep house of Clarence
Scott below Roosterville. Then we
found they didn't need us, so we
came back to the home of Mrs An
ma Geddes, and son Emmett and
family, where we visited until they
finished hunting up, doctoring the
injured sheep that they felt could be
saved, and helping those more SER
| iously hurt, and while Alb looked
the situation over. Did you know
that the D. w. has to be detective?
We find the better job he does along
this line the more dogs ride to the
fertilizer plant. We feel we are
| telling no secrets, when we tell you
he located the guilty ours in the
above case-but as he did not see
! them on the sheep he can not take
them In this case Clarence Scott,
| Willard Fox and Emmett Geddes
| lost sheep-some 80 in all Sheep
men should learn that the open sea-
son on ours is 365 days each year,
| except leap year when it is 366.
| The death of Mrs. Nettie Gather
! inc Hoel, of GAINESVILLE, has taken
| another Bristol born lady. See
! sketch elsewhere
We spent some time with Mr.
| Clark Finley of Solomon, Kansas.
| He. former Morgan county resi-
dent. is we'll posted on the Morgan
county folks who have made that
section their home. Mr. Finley is a
very interesting conversationalist.
We find that some land owners
seem to think they should be paid
to have their land tested for oil and
gas That is they want rental in
advance Many of them are sports
they take rental and don't know
what their lease says Some day,
pay sand will make folks of that
kind sorry.
The Morgan County Democrat has
ppipt fol
rying the title "a Visit to the Bre-
men Cheese Factory" If you are
interested in the sale of milk or
want good cheese get one of these
folders from the hauler in your
neighborhood or send your name
and address to Pickerington Com
pany, Bremen Ohio.
We Wonder
Why we wonder-there is always
something to wonder about. When
we get one thing solved, or give up.
something else bobs up. At this
time we are wondering why we al
ways notice mistakes in our county
papers quicker than in the city dail-
les While we have been writing,
we have been thinking. We think
it is because they are fewer in the
former. Then there is something
else about the county papers that
we wonder if you ever wondered
about Did you. or any of your
folks ever do anything that you
didn't want published? We wonder
why folks who have money always
pay for their dailies so as to NOT
miss a copy. and let the editor Of |
the county paper wonder when they
will pay.
Through the kindness of Dean /
Hancher. we accompanied him to
the Good Samaritan hospital, Satur-
day to see Atty G.. O. McGonagle. /
We found him improving. He will
be glad to see or hear from you. A
letter or card. addressed to him at
the hospital is sufficient. The Sis
ters know where he is at They were
kind enough to let us see him after
hours, on our promise not to worry.
From the supper he had before him
we were led to believe it must be a
good place to board.
Arthur Needles has purchased a
truck and will start hauling cabbage
from the Muskingum valley to the
industrial centers this week.
One of Oran Miller's good milk
COWS died last week. He had been
offered SIS for her.
The creeks were out in the low
places, Saturday.
