Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1942-02-05

We can think of no death that
has caused us more regret than that
of Albert Singree. Through more
than half century he has been our
friend. Were all men of the Albert
Singree type, taxes would be much
lower. We would need no peace of
ficials, jails, penitentiaries and so
on.
We are glad we don't have TO
prove we were born, especially
when it cost soc to $3.50.
How many representatives to the
state legislature is Morgan county
entitled to this time. From the
way the Republicans are announc-
ing, it looks to folks like us who
don't keep up with the Bricker
economy that we must be going 10
have one to vote while the other is
hear very we'll, We think one of the
candidates thinks he has edge, and
perhaps the middle in the race.
Abe Tolbert lost a horse last
week
E. HI. Little sold the horse adver-
tised in Democrat to Stewart Bros,
Meigsville township, then bought
one from his brother, Harley, then
on Sunday had one quite sick.
Mrs. John Broedel and son Ralph
were Columbus visitors, Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs Herschel Haines
and little son of Columbus visited
relatives here last week. Miss Lu-
lu Moore who accompanied them.
visited relatives in McConnelsville.
Friends of Harry Campbell and
family will be glad to know that
their son Gene who was so serious
ly injured last summer when hit by
an automobile, walks with only a
little limp. The insurance company
made settlement with them
which took care of all bills.
1t seems funny the reports that
are circulating regarding the loca-
ton of some boys in the service.
When we heard that two Bristol
boys were overseas we ran the re-
port. which we found some guessed
they were on account of the fact
they had written that they were eX-
pecting to leave their training
camp
We have been reading quite
pondence in a magazine on the sub
ject Then recently We noticed
where some place in the state the
papers and correspondence Were
Judged We wondered what the
folks did in the neighborhood-or
how the correspondents wrote their
space that they could win over
Morgan county papers, should they
compete. We have often read where
Joe Black died on Tuesday, was
buried on Thursday at p. N. In
looking through Rexford Tolbert's
Mother Goose book We found what
we think is a more comprehensive
account than the above which
reads: Solomon Cundy; born on
Monday christened on Tuesday;
married on Wednesday; took i'll on
Thursday; died on Saturday; bur
led on Sunday; this is the last Of
Solomon Gundy.
The sale Of the Ross property
was attended by bunch of good
bidders At least stock and ma
chinery sold well.
Last week we stopped over and
went in the coal mine on the Mrs.
Drummond farm operated by James
Pickenpaugh. This is called the
No. 9 vein. For heat it seems
No. / If you think coal is too
high, go in and dig one day
Recently when We entered a
place of business in our county seat
the proprietor said: II am mad. A
business man of this town was in
here and found fault with the
President and everything he has,
and is doing" The speaker was a
veteran of the first World war The
Pathfinder never smelt burnt pow
der, unless it was when he shot
rabbit Would you deal with that
man if you knew who he was?
Mrs. Mabel Winestock, whose
husbad, Frank Winestock, of Rein !
ersville, met a tragic death, is en-
ployed at the Mrs. Ella Little home /
on Mouse Run.
