Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1942-07-30

Il
Friday.
Some folks seem to wonder il it
pays to take the first aid. We find
| that Mrs. Coda Carr who has TAX
en- the course has proven it in car
| ing for her father, Ward White, of
Stockport, whose death occurred
last Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Virgins and family of
Columbus, former residents and
| pastor of the Stockport Christian
church, spent the past week with
Mrs. Virgins mother, Mrs. Almeda
Rogers. The reverend is doing
supply work. On July 19 he preach
ed at the Christian church at Ports
mouth We believe this is the
church of which the late Tommy
Martin, a Bristol product, was for a
long time pastor.
We measured George Hollett's
corn again. We found it had gone
up to II feet, three inches. The
rains are putting ears on every
stalk.
The rains seem to be damaging
the tomato crop along the river.
The oil we'll drilled by the local
company on the Hopes estate, Mar
ion township, while not shot at this
writing, is said to be a paying well
Tom Mccoy, of Stockport, who
recently underwent an operation, :
able to be out and look the to1,1
over-on foot.
Farmers have been threshing or
of the shock. Those who hay
their wheat stacked, and in build
ings, are finishing haying before
threshing.
We are sorry that our friend and
former neighbor, w. H. Riecker, of
Todds, has to be so seriously i'll,
and hope for his speedy recovery.
Tuesday We accompanied harold
Fuller of Ringgold, lumber dealer,
from the county seat out to the for
mer Boyd Mccormick, now the Coss
they had truck with something
minus. After they unhitched and
started for the piece for repair, we
started for the Harold Ball home
whom some of our readers will re-
member as the Jas. Parmiter home
Harold is veteran Of World war
one, and is in condition that
neighbors and friends feel is ter
rible, but On account of the fact
that he was glad to get home, out
of what Sherman called Hell"
without a thorough examination
he does not get the pension he
should. The next stop was at Abe
Tolbert's. Abe and Alice are hon
est. Abe works when he isn't able
We failed to find anyone at home
at the Henderson Risberg home
We found Jimmy Hooper was work
ing in defense work. At the G.. c..
Fox home we found George was
still harvesting, with little help
At the Raymond Belts home we
found Miss Dorothy with a lot of
ability to write, but little conf
dence. Chas. Nichols wanted to
haul us the wrong way. We found
Ona Warne painting. We thought
we were stopping Harold Fuller
and it proved to be Doris Geddes,
superintendent of Morgan division
state highways. All the reason we
| can't work on state highway under
Doris is on account of Bricker and
iC. B. politics.
We have cut down on cheese con-
sumption, after hearing about the
new son at the home of Dale Mil
ler-milk hauler for the Bremen
cheese factory
l. We found w. E. Wilson who has
been crippled up with rheumatism,
improved. We found Link Dingey
moving to the Fred Mummey farm
with his thresher and baler. Jesse
Haines who started his career in
Manchester and now resides on the
Hemp pfield-Ellis farm south Of
Meigs, is in poor health.
We can't think of anything out
side of deaths and illness in our
immediate family that has caused
us more sorrow than the critical
illness of our good friend VIM. Gan
non.
Mrs. Agnes Sines Reynolds, for
| E2er Bristol girl, now of Marion,
o., underwent an operation for ap-
pendicitis this week.
