the COUNTY
BY BISHOP BATES. D. D.

HEAR YE. HEAR YE: Just re-
ceived a letter from r. j., New
Lexington. 1t says: Bishop, there
/ is an old lady here who said as a
young lady she was immersed by
Rev. H. H. Bates. Do you know OF
his where abouts? Thanks X. y.
Dear r. j.: There is not too much
here to 60 on, but it's clue II
YOU had stated about what year
/ this immersion took place, and
where, also the denomination Of
] the Reverend or the church affil-
iation, it would have made the
task much easier.
You can bet / will use every eff
! fort to get this information for
/ you, SO watch these columns and
read every line every week. |
have no bloodhounds, as our state
capitol has a priority on them.
So, / will have to appeal to the
readers of these columns, that II
they can give us any information
as to the above Rev. III. H. Bates,
! who he was, if he is still living
| and where, it will be greatly ap-
preciated by this reporter. This
information may mean a lot to
this aged lady right at this time,
SO let us try to get it to her as
soon as possible.
| Come on readers. We are just
wondering if this Reverend could
have been a product Of Dawson
/ Ridge or of that vicinity. If so,
please communicate with us.
Bishop Bates, d. D. Box 6, Cald-
we'll, Ohio.
i Any information from any one
from anywhere will be appre-
ciated.
| COURT HOUSE: The manage
lment of the court house is being
| discussed pro and con, by words
! being dropped here and there. We
4 don't have enough of these words
i that we can piece together to
| make a complete sentence that
| makes good sense. 1t seems that
i Noble county has been spending
money and not getting value re-
! ceived in return.
| It's like ON the farm, when toe
!. many hens start setting all at the
same time and there are not
u enough eggs to place under them
:. Well, now this is what ails the
court house, to many old set.
J ting hens, they must be removed
from their nests and broken up
We don't mean women as The
setting hens, as the women dt
about all of the work done in tht
{ court house. However, there or
: echoes that too many organiza
5 tions, associations and societie
: are getting office and meetinI
i space free, and none of these ar
] of any particular concern t
Noble county affairs.
q Think it over voters, Caldwell
4 doesn't own the court house b
/ several jugs full, we are. told, s
e we may have more information
G maybe soon. When we find ou
ri who runs and manages the build
L ing, we may learn something, bu
n so far, it seems the building
e. not managed by anyone or one
]. in particular.
4 In fact, | have been unable I
It find anyone, with a few excer
it tions that knows anything mucl
e only their own jobs, and the
! don't know why they know TIL;
d for sure.

r, PERSONAL MENTION: Al

fox hunter, and still likes to tai

n meeting on July 9th.

If tors, they We're read, but nevt

S in with foxhunters. Notice to a
