America, as in the old world, we
have no traditions for the basis OF
songs. Those which have their
derivation in the negro songs are
simple, easily learned, infectious in
rhythm and have a common senti-
ment. Largo" by Dvorak was
the illustration. We are rich in
national songs. They give history,
and are often based on real Incl
dents. The popular music of our
day is serving one good purpose, in
that it has made the people appre-
ciate and want better music.

facts about the Ravenna arsenal,
said to be the largest in the world.

We have often told you that W,
are queer. The longer we live tn,
more are we convinced that we hav,
told the truth, and the more water
that goes over the dam the more
convincing the statement becomes
to us, if not to you. Born that way
and associating with you. and many
whom you don't know, and acquiring
something from each, we have
enough, to be proud of it. AS we
travelled the past several days In
work that any man would be proud
to do, yet we can't tell you about it
at this time, but we can tell you
of some Of the good folks we met.
First, let us tell you that we met
Billy Cannon, and when we asked
about Curtis, it was with pride that
he told us that when he took the
mentality test, the officer in charge
said, "Whire 1 can't tell you at this
tell you that they are exceptionally
high" We wonder if you should
be in the service and have kept out,
il your parents and neighbors are
proud of you?
We tried to get to the Bill Davis
home, Union township, but found
he is quarantined in wet, weather.
Bill, one of the large land owners
of the county, can't get in and out
without rubber boots, and you know
about rubber. We stopped at
house that recalled death where
Carl Miller was called with the late
Will Allen as helper. When Carl
asked what preacher they wanted,
they said anybody you can get"
That was back when Rev. J. L. Nu-
zum was in the county. Carl had
heard him and took him over. Aft
er the service, the folks in the
neighborhood cleaned up an aban-
doned meeting house and had him
preach there. How many of you
folks would like to hear j. L., if we
can get him to come to central
point
II you want more coffee than you
are allowed, show us SIS Liberty |
Bond bought Nov. 25-Dec. 10, and
you can have our pound. If you
can't afford to buy but hundred,
you can have Ruby's.
We rode with Frank Cox one day
last week. When we lived at Meigs
it wouldn't have been newsy. You
will note we said Frank" We
notice most folks call him Judge"
Our association with the Chesterhill
Quakers took all the Mr." MRS"
''Hon.," and so on out of us, but we
never ride or talk with Frank that
we do not learn something worth
while.
Correction
Our friend Henry Hook tells us
that the Brady Kean barn burned
the night of Jan. "a, 1882, instead
of 1880, as we had it last week.
Mr.. Hook was sleeping in an up
stairs room of the Kean home. He
said '"They called me saying the
barn is on fire. We carried water
and kept a small building nearby
from burning"

appointed that there was no snow
