ROLLING CORRESPONDENT


In our travels last week we spen
!. Monday night with our sister, Car
|, RE Ray and son. They seem to b'
getting along very nicely. Lizzie
Mcconnell claims to be the owner
Of two good cows. At the Abe Tol
bert home, we found Alice suffering
with a sore thumb, caused by run
ing splinter in it. The M. d. was
unable to find it. While concen-
trating on story, Abe was telling
about the two white squirrels that
had been seen on the DR.. F. B
Ray (Cordray) farm in Center, WE
took drink of goats milk. We
looked at the goat, later.
At the Abe Tolbert home we
boarded the Dale Miller milk truck
for ride. At the John Broedel
home we found Olive, who has
been in poor health, looking better.
We forgot to tell her that soy bean
meal used for bread, cakes and SO
on, is highly recommended for dia-
| betes. We presume lot of folks
won't use it until they pay some
| specialist to tell them. We had
forgotten that Dale had taken on
some new territory since our prev
ious ride. but when he came back
| to route 78 he turned east and went
by the way Of Cabinville up 76 to
! the Garrett farm, then east down
past Ed Combs. We were inform
ed that the son Ronald was learn
| ing to sing ''Bye Baby Bye" He
had been practicing week.
At the Roy Swank farm we no.
| tced he acted as though he might
| be going to do some team work. At
the Gilliland flower farm we noticed
quite an acreage plowed, whether it
was all to be planted to flowers we
didn't learn. At the P. G. Law
renee farm we noticed Perley over
seeing, or seeing the county men
working We noticed someone
painting the roof of the Porter
bridge 1t will be remembered by
some of our readers like Attorney
John Henderson, Judge Jas. Ogle-
wee, that the late Jas. Scott had
this bridge built when he owned
the farm. Wilson Henderson, while
not feeling very good, still acts as
handy man for the neighborhood.
At the l.. T. Jenkins home we had
dinner and found them getting
ready to go to the hatchery to get
their poults We understand poults
are turkeys just starting on the
way to Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. We were sorry to learn that
VIII Wilson who has been poorly
for some time, was in the hospital
for observation.
We noticed corn big enough to
many not planted. When We arriv-
ed back at Stockport we found quite
a lot of outsiders on the street, one
fieshy gentleman came up and
shook hands. For the moment we
couldn't figure whether our writ
ing of the village was attracting
folks who wanted to build factories,
Or what it all meant. When he
mentioned Newark it dawned on US
that it was George Jones, who was
down for inspection. Not being
up on what it means we can't write
much about it, only that if it was
George they were inspecting, he
passed unless they found something
we couldn't see. Oh yes, we were
glad to learn that G.. o. McGonagle
is improving. We couldn't find out
what woman's hat John Fox was
carrying around. Perhaps it was
connected with wreck. We under
stand his company takes care Of all
details. Sorry we didn't get to go
farther and see more. We find
Harley Mercer has a pet crow.
Whether Bess will let him keep it
during the duration" we will wait
and watch.
DR.. heiner, president of the
Reiner Medicine company, Cincin-
natl, spent Wednesday afternoon
with your scribe, visiting sick folks
in and around Stockport.
Painters seem too busy, or scarce,
to get all the work done at once.
We can't help wondering if some
folks, especially those who talk the
most, and loudest, if they are the
ones we should listen to.
We accompanied "a friend to a
country cemetery where his par
ents sleep. He moved the lot and
sowed grass seed, and helped us
NOW the graves of some of our
friends Our attention was called
to the graves of man and wife
who were well to do. Having no
children their property went to dis
tant relatives, and their graves are
uncared for. We moved it. 1t
might be good idea for you to
wonder who will care for your
grave if you don't leave bequest
for that purpose. With the country
churches being abandoned, the
cemeteries will be neglected.
1t seems that the increase for
soldering won't make Americans
out Of some folks-neither did the
low price keep many thousands
from going 100 percent.
Mrs. Jean Eddleblute and little
daughter, Ellen Joyce, of Balti-
more, Md, are visiting at the C. B.
Ray home at Stockport, and with
other relatives and friends.
