our first effort appeared, and think
Of the folks who were carrying on

the years and think Of them as they
passed out, we can't help telling
you that there are very few houses
in our section, in which a death
has not occurred. In fact nearly a
new generation is on the stage.
While there nave been many hap
py events to chronicle, it seems the
sad ones have left the most last
ing impression. We have made
many friends and some enemies,
both of whom we are proud. We
hope that you may be as kind to the
new correspondent as you have
been to us, and as we read the
Meigs section in the months to
come, it may be far better than
in the past. We will see you, or

Stockport junior high by 21 to
10 score. The Pennsville team held
a lead at all times meanwhile hold
ing the Stockport team to low
score. The varsity game, while be-
ing close in score, was slow, with
both teams missing several shots.
The game had little of the action
expected for the final game of a
tournament. After the games Sat-
urday evening trophies were pre-
sented to the new champions.
Tournament Notes
The attendance at the games was
fairly good with capacity crowds
on Friday and Saturday, and the
Thursday crowd of near capacity.
The officials, Rich and Frazier,
are to be complimented on their
fine work in officiating.

1t seems some of our readers
locations We will quit scribbling
1t seems that there should be much
of the kind of material we like to
write around Stockport. While we
have no desire to take anyone s
job, we feel we may write from
there without taking anyone's posi-
ton. We have always felt if We
couldn't build up a business with
out tearing another's down we
would do no business.
Our mail man seems to think
Bristol (Muttonburg) is quite a vii
lage. Yesterday he brought us a
report of the Bristol Library asso-
citation, Bristol, England Today a
letter from the same folks. We are
glad Mr.. Hooper thought we were
the mayor. The package and let
ter were addressed "The Mayor of
Bristol, Morgan county, Ohio, u.
S. a." On the package we note u.
S. customs, passed free P. J. A,
Cleveland, Ohio. We feel that the
letter may be of interest to our
readers and are enclosing it.
w. j. Mcconnell Married
We are informed that VIM. J.
Mcconnell, former Bristol resident,
Woodgrove, and McConnelsville
merchant, was recently married.
We have been unable to learn the
lady's name. Anyway we wish them
pleasant voyage.
We have often heard the remark
clothes don't make the man, but it
seems our new marshals uniform
changed his looks so much that
many folks who knew the baker,
didn't know him in the new ap-
parel. While he seems to be on the
job, he missed the fight on Main
street
In conversing with Mandy Smith
Wednesday we learned another
Bristol family now gone out-"Bal-
lard" When we asked his Chris
tian name, she said '.They always
called him Ballard--never heard his
first name" She went on to tell of
a man who at one time lived in the
village, who made counterfeit mon
ey. Perhaps it is well she couldn' t
recall his name. He may have been
related to some of us. When we
spoke of Lafe's illness she seemed
to think pneumonia wouldn't have
much effect on Lindimore. Their
mother recovered from two cases of
the disease when quite old. She
related the following which we feel
will interest many of our readers:
"Once when visiting my daughter
in Huntington, w. Va, while Tom
my Martin was preaching there, l
said I would like to go and hear
him. My son-in-law said if you
want to go we will take you. When
we arrived he was announcing the
church program for the following
week. When he saw us he stopped,

saying There are some folks
know came down out of the pull
pit, shook hands with us and then
his wife and children came and
greeted u.s." That was what we feel
should be called country cured
religion and hospitality. She went
on to say he had large church in
which there was an office for the
pastor, and that he died in the Of
fee. And that brings to our mind
that one time John Fox told Rev. J..
L. Nuzum, If we ever got to where
he was preaching he would walk
right up and seat himself behind
him. In reply j. l.. said, "And
when / get through l will call on
you to pray
Forest Tomson will take notice
we haven't received that letter yet.
On account of Iandslides and they
being closer to the Japs, we won
der.
When thinking about moving, a
remark of friend came to us.
When we asked him after some of
his neighbors had moved if he shed
any tears, he said, 'No, 1 am wait
ing until they come back" We
feel We are the one that will feel
badly in this case.
DR.. Reiner, of Cincinnati, visited
us last week He is the head of
the Eeiner laboratories of that
city, makers of the medicine used
by number of folks in Morgan
county, for rheumatism, arthritis,
and so on. He is the only maker
of patent medicine we have ever
heard of who visited those taking
their medicine. See their ad in
this and coming issues of the Dem
ocrat.
More Fathers And Sons
Homer Gerlach and son, Ray
Smith and son, registered for the
draft. We remember that Mr.
Smith, whose Christian name we
can't get, and four sons, Boone,
Japheth, James and another whose
name we are not sure Off it
wasn't Eli, we won't guess, served
in the Civil war.
Erwin North an enrolee from
Athens county, but who served
with the Morgan county boys at |
Camp Shelby. and was excused on
the 28-year ruling, was called back |
and left for Camp Hayes, Wednes-
day, for examination His wife, |
Mary Ray North, is confined to her
bed at her home at Lathrop, with |
a heavy cold.
If any of our readers want to
set their clocks back to sun time, it |
will be o. k. with US. If you live
n the vicinity of McConnelsvilleI
set them back 32 minutes and 80 Il
seconds. We remember when We
had sun and standard time, most
country folks stuck to the sun.
When they travelled on the railroad |
they had to slow up bit.
Vernon Whitehouse moved Sat- |
urday from the S. w Sheridan |
home to the G.. S. Torbert place |
where he expects to stay for the |
duration of the Rays, which now
looks like Thursday of this week
We are sorry to know of the |
serious illness of our good friend |
John Lowe, of Reinersville, and |
nope he may recover and be with
us a long time yet.
George Chambers spent Sunday

Duncan Falls.

JACKIE WILSON IS TITLE HOLDER
 STATE MUST OK
Hartford Boy Continues Steady FavOrite as Big
 GO NearS
BY JACK AMMAN United Press Staff Correspondent

Hartford, Ccnn., Nov. 16.--(UP)- You could knock Connecticut boxing fans over with feather duster to- day. Willie Pep, the challenger, who meets Chalky Wright, the champion, in worlds featherweight title bout in New York Friday night. will not be recognized as the titleholder ir Connecticut--i he wins.
 This was almost too much to bear for the fans of this state who have wagered their shirts on Pep coming out the victor in the Madison Square Garden battle. In fact, they were of fering odds of to on any street. corner in Hartford that Willie, as he is affectionately known, would be the next champion.
 But would he in Connecticut?
 "No," said State Athletic Commis- sioner Frank Coskey.
 The situation:
 How It Stands
 Chalky Wright is the so-called New York State champion.
 Connecticut is a member of the National Boxing Association--the NBA-wllich recognizes Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh as the champion.
 Even if Pep wins the title, he will just be another fighter in Connecti- cut--on the records. He Till have to beat Wilson before he can be recog- nized as the title-holder in his own state.
 Coskey said he would try to get Pep and Wilson together for a title match if the Hartford fighter con- quered Wright Friday night--in an effort to clarify the situation.
 Great Prospect
 Meantime, Pep continued heavy training in a local gymnasium be- fore crowds of bright-eyed admirers who regard him as the greatest pros pect for a title Connecticut has had since the days of Bat Battalino and Kid Kaplan.
 Sammy Haskins. New York negro fighter, has been hired by the local camp to box daily with Pep in train- ing sessions.
 One thing the Pep camp couldn't understand was the odds on Pep.
 Eight to five is crazy, one camp follower said. Remember, Chalky is the champion and Willie is only the challenger"
 But the training quarters radiated confidence.

 Men were seated on park benches as usual on Sunday afternoon, but conversation was at a luil.
