We found when we got back to
Morgan county there was more
work for us than we had thought.
Tuesday p. M, we accompanied
John Whitney out over Bristol
township, and in making the rounds
we passed through a little patch of
Meigsville. John, who has been
school teacher, county auditor, and
has been with the state auditors
office as inspector of county rec
ords the past % years, who expects
to retire about the first of the year,
was out to get affidavits substantial
ing the time he has put in as teach
er, auditor and inspector. The
Bristol township records having
been destroyed, it was necessary to
have three affidavits from each of
the three schools where he had
taught. John taught the last term
in the old school house, and the
first term in the new one at Meigs
Most of our older readers no doubt
remember that the old one is now
dwelling and the new one a cow
barn. The former was moved west
on the Carnes, now the Jimmy
Hooper land, the latter onto the C.
P. Lindimore farm. In Meigsville
and Center where the records were
found, the clerk certified to the rec
ords When he taught in Meigs-
vile, P. G. Ball was clerk. When
he went to get the certificate of the
record, P G.. Ball, was clerk. Forty
years had elapsed between the time
he wrote the clerk for salary and
the certificate, and neither of these
men look old. Perhaps if they
had full beard it might be diff
ferent--if the whiskers were long

added much to the appearance of
their buildings by the use of paint
At the Murray place, a concrete
tank was put in at the spring on
the hill back of the house and the
water piped into the kitchen. They
are having furnace installed at
the old home place of the Whitneys.
At the Hancher farm we found
Oval and Graham Clark ready to
run concrete for floor and managers
in the cow stable. We found Frank
Knox who has been quite poorly,
better. He had been down to his
old home farm on Monday. AT the
Dennis Embree home we found
they were opening a new coal
bank. While we didn't have time
to stop, we learned our friend Will
son Henderson was improved. We
went to the Earl Wilson home
Tuesday evening, where we ac-
knowledged the enlistment papers
of Charles Wilson, jr. They had
made a trip to Stockport and did
not find us, so we went out. While
We are sorry to see our boys go,
but we are glad to know that some
Of our friends put themselves out
to have us sign their papers. When
they wanted to pay us, we inform
ed Charles to get so Japs and the
bill would be paid. We don't care
if he makes it 5000, and he will if
they come in sight. During our
stay in the county seat we spent the
nights with Fred and Jennie
Brothers. Fred who has been bad
ly crippled up for some time, is i'm
proved.
We met John Derwacter on the
street We hadn't seen him for
more than 80 years. He is changed
some. In fact, so much we didn't
recognize him. We rode around
a while with S. V. Hale, the young
old man, OF Bristol. After complet-
ing our work we took the bus for
GAINESVILLE, and back to the Shook
home, where we spent the night,
then back to Newark. We found
Vince Lawrence's shop was closed.
After studying a while we thought
it was Thursday afternoon and
not court action We then got a
taxi and went to his home, where
we spent the night We talked un-
til II p. m. He related several
tales of the pioneer days we had
never heard, and owned up to some
we had heard. On the morning we
went to the shop, but Vince couldn't
shave us until $3.50 on account of
a city Ordinance-so Vince said.
So we went to the Owens Corning
Glass company plant unshaven. Aft
er we had filled out the pedigree
blank and stood in line an hour to
find we needed proof that we had
been born previously. we went back
to the shop. We were led to think
