Scribe Expresses His Feelings

Scribe Expresses His Feelings
We know we are queer. We al
so know we are an American. On
account of defective vision and a
wife and four children, we could
not go to fight in the first World
war. While some of our depend
ency has been taken over by sons
in-law, our eyesight and age keeps
us out of this war, but does not
keep us from being an American.
What we started to say, it gets us
out of fix when folks who are doing
no more than we to help win the
war complain about setting their
clocks ahead If someone, un-
known to some of these folks
should move their time ahead they
American and help win the war
or get out We feel that st. Peter
will not call your name and record
from any church. But we do feel
that traitors to their country will
go to hell on the same train as the
-believer-only the former will
be in the car next the engine, per
haps in the tender.
Last week we looked Stockport
over While there are many there
who were there when We knew the
town in 190S-09, we found that
many had taken their abode in the
cemetery
Seldom there passes a week that
some friend does not pass on. Last
week two men, Charley Greer, a
man whom We never talked to, or
rather listened to, that We did not
learn something worth while. The
other, John Sims, man if you
spent a hour, or years with him
you found him the same. He had
no mask, no pretense-always the
same. To those to whom the blow
comes hardest, we extend sympa-
thy.
AT this time it looks as though
we may become a citizen of the
village of Stockport. If we do We
want it understood that we do not
know how to run village, and Will
have a "a hour day job attending
to our own business. But if you
or any of your folks are sick, OF
dead, and we are needed, tell u.s.
and we Will be there. If you have
your business taken care of a day
or two ahead and want to help with
ours, we will be glad. Please let
US ork on ours until $50 p. M,
please.
l.. our last weeks section in
telling of the birthday party, we
left out the name of to US the most
important one, our little friend,
Janet Wilson 1t was her third
birthday. We apologize to Janet.
Editor and Farmer w d. Mat
son purchased a barn of hay of
John and Ella Whitney on the Boz
man home farm, and is having it
hauled to his farms in Little Ire
land The farms Nh Matson puI-
chased We're short on meadows.
Combining business and pleasure
we spent Saturday evening at the
]. J.. Glenn home. While the Glenns
are situated in a garden spot and
are doing "a lot OF worth while
things, they are SO situated that
scribblers like this scribe don't get
to see and know about them.
At least one father and son Dean
and Donald Hancher of Bristol reg
istered this time. Dewey Parks
and son of Manchester signed on
the dotted line.
Vernon Whitehouse who has
been living at the Broedel and
Sheridan homes since the death of
his mother, will occupy his resi-
dence when vacated by the Rays,
March /.
The death of John w. Sims is
BristoPs first for the year 1912.
During writing and keeping of rec
ords it has been unusual for US to
go through a January without Il
death.
While We have said some things
about our future, we feel We should
say something of our work in the
past Back in our childhood we
read the East Windsor section,
written by Mr.. Judkins, who used
the non de plume occasional.
We often thought as we read his
