Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1942-04-02

At Sharon we noticed a large
crowd in the cemetery attending
the funeral of Carlos Figley, who
was we'll known to many Of our
readers, as a good carpenter. Many
are the product of his handiwork
We have many friends who ask
the question Have they started to
drill YETI" AS of March 27, we can
say no.
Harry Cross was setting out cab
bage plants March 81 in his truck
patch in south Stockport. Many
have made garden at Stockport.
We learn that Mr.. and Mrs.
Jesse Hill, former Bristol folks,
who have been living near Zanes-
vile the past several years, have
moved to the Harry Ham farm in
Meigsville township, known to old
timers as the Eutledge farm
Vernon Whitehouse, after trying
his ability as cook, decided he
would rather have Mrs. Olive Broe-
del do it, SO he has returned there.
Don't forget the Ed Adrian sale
April 9.
We are glad we can have sassa-
fras tea without retarding the on
ward march to victory of our gall
liant boys.
1t was told of our late friend
Will Woodward, that during the
first World war someone asked
him what he would do with the
Kaiser, if he had his way, replied:
Il would make him go to the Ches-
terhill fair and stay two days" AS
to Hitler we suggest they let Joe
Louis play with him with no rules,
no bell-simply one round
In conversing with our long
time friend Vic Walters, Reiners-
vile, who has more newspaper abil-
ity than any correspondent, and
we would add some others, were we
not afraid we might be left away
down here with three inch pencil
and eight new Fast Mail tablets,
he said words that made us feel
glad. The thing that would bring
most joy to us would be for Vic to
use his talent with pencil for
which he is able instead of trying
to use pick, shovel, sledge, for
which he is physically not able.
We find a lot of folks interested
in our work, writing the history of
Windsor township. Some of our
friends over the county do seem to
realize that Morgan county folks
are one big family. Another thing
we notice, some of our Republican
friends down here haven't learned
that Republican candidates have to
advertise in the Morgan County
Democrat to tell the big percent of
| Republicans of the county that they
want to be nominated, and elected.
Here is what we want to say. We
have looked the Muskingum valley
over from GAINESVILLE to Marietta,
and that there is more real open
space contingent to railroad and
river than any place north or south.
| If you want to locate a factory here,
don't let the world know it, Come
and see US, and we will get the
! land at what it is worth. There
will be no hold-up.
This Sunday (Palm) Mrs. Ray
| wants us to go to church with her.
| We are reminded of our friend Gus
| Carnes who is more quoted than
any man who has ever called Meigs
home, who once said II have more
clothes than these. but they are not
as good as these" 1t seems folks
down here have spent more money
for clothes Cor at least later than
WEI so we don't know whether we
could find space in either church,
where we could set, or sit Eve al
ways forget which we should do
set or sit) So far as we care it
makes little difference, as the folks
we talk to are not interested in
that, but in what we are saying.
Oh yes, what we started to say
whether there will be room, so we
won't muss up your clothes.
As We See 1t
1t seems to us this must be about
