M. Crouse. {During the Civil War, Mrs. Heron or Miss Tittow, figured in a thrilling episode in Middletown with Miss Crouse, a girl of 17,. In September 1&9S, Miss Crouse's father, a baker and confectioner, was a red-hot Union man and kept an American flag float ing from the second ntory of his,res­ idence. On the day m question ft. de­ tachment o f Confederates came dash, ing into town and caught sight o f the flag. Instantly the troopers came to * a halt and a dozen of them dashed m on the porch. Miss Crouse asked them what they wanted. "The damn­ ed Yankee rag", said the ruffian. As the man moved to enter the door Miss Crouse ran up stairs, took the flag, wrapped it about her and appeared on the porch. Again the "rag” was de­ manded with a revolver leveled at her head but she refused to give it With these words: "You. may shoot me. but never will I willingly give up my country’s flag into the hands of traitors." „ At this another of the party, who must have been a gentleman said: "They dare not hurt you or touch the flag while you have it around you, but please save trouble and give it up,” Seeing the odds were against her .she handed the flag over to the cap­ tain, who upon leaving the porch tied the flag around the horse’s neck and departed. Back on a hill a body of Union Calvery saw th'e demonstra­ tion, quickly made a detour, captured a portion, o f the Confederates and though the captain escaped, the flag •was secured and retained to Miss Crouse. Mis* Titlow was on the porch and'helped defend the flag'the best she could.

By careful, management we accumulated a nice farm andhome before the war. During the war we accumulated as much as we did in the 15 or 20 years proceeding the war. We are not at all proud of this, as we lamented the fact that we were pros­ pering while others were suffering and dying on the battlefield. When this wave of prosperity came we did not conclude we needed a tractor. We figured they were too-short-lived and threshing machines anct plies of straw that,resemble mountains. All the power on the farm 13 devoleped by the Use of the tractor, the only horses to be found are those for saddle pur-, poses.

Now that the Utilities Commission has ratified the merger of the Bell and Horn* telephone companies in Clark *ftd Green counties, people here are wondering what will become of the tecat company service in the coun­ ty that had .an agreement with the Horn* company.

True, 1. am not trying to realize on an investment of $250 or $306 per acre, on teftd,but I da realize that a lot o f poor people have to buy what 1 have to sell, so if I believe in God and His Word I must not forget them.” The farmer has. some problems, I admit.

Thirty seven years ago Charley opened his shop in the baseihent of the Ort building. He has been engaged all this time in the bar- jet business except a few months in Xenia some years ago. When it comes to measuring the miles of hair cut in the same length of time Charley has all the barbers in the county beat a mile. .In hours « f service each day he has no equal. He is now cutting hair of little ones who are the grand­ children of those young sports thirty seven years ago. Charles has been in business most of the time by himself other than a partnership with Marion Silvey, who is now in California, The Smith barber shop has been headquarters for many a young man. The times have been when the young chap first began to absorbe the spirit of baseball, he received his baseball course from Charles, who is a pastmaster in keeping fresh in memory the famous ball players of years gone by. Young men that held ideas as to their qualifications in the fistic art have had more than one try­ out in the barbershop, the headquar­ ters for the real town boy. In fact a lot of local history could be written about this shop that would bring back recollections of the days when many of the men that have gone into the world spent their leisure hours with Charley Smith. He tells us that in tne thirty-seven years he has not lost six weeks from the shop all told, One of his vacation days that he points to with pride was when he made a trip to Cincinnati to see his favorite team, the Beds, win a championship game in the World's series.

In ono of the churches last Sabbath there was not the sign of ventilation, directly or indirectly. The bouse was not so hot as the atmosphere very stuffy and im­ pure. The mercury was around 32 on the outside. With colds prevalent ant other diseases that might bo commun icated we should have better venfil ation in most of our public buildings.

The treasurer’s office will be quite an attraction for an open field. It is hinted that Treasurer J. H. McVey will not be a candidate for re-election.

The ight amqng the liberal interests will Iraw Mr. Birch the support of the- Irys, Otherwise the county cannot be isted as approving the enforcement f the prohibition statutes. The big fight at 'present is over he state senatorial-situation of this, the Fifth-Sixth district. For years it has been the rule to.let a senator have . but one term. The rule has heen wrong in that a new man could never accom­ plish much in one year. This time it is Greene county's turn under the old. rule. County Chalrman.L. T. Marshall evidently endeavored to keep things under cover and set-'the pins for that place for,himself. The district com­ mittees at first agreed hut when they found they were being given the double cross some of them switched and now all but Greene and' Fayette counties are said to be back of the plan to re-elect Senator Fence from Highland. The Senator hag A good record with the dry element and also the farm bureaus and would get a big vote. As matters now staffd .Ais- county has bden sold out by cheap politics on the part of Marshall. He was endeavoring to shut out W. B. Bryson, who has had aspirations tot , the Senatorship. If Marshall and Mr, Bryson both £ome neither can hope for the nomination with four or five other counties back of Fence. Mr. Bryson, as president of the Greene County Farm Bureau, ex-state rep­ resentative would have easy Sailing so. far as this county is concerned. So far as Marshall’s strength was concerned it would best be measured by what the holders of GeigervJonen' stock and other buyers of blue-sky stock could do for him. He evidently felt that to put the thing over secretly would be better than in the open. A lot of electors, in fact whole families ate waiting for him to announce for some public office. & o d e ■ J c b f i S 't M i H&Xt/ffD ONLYmK ASCOT THE THINGS WE KNOW SOMETHIN'S ABOUT,WHY; 1 WE’D HAVE MORE TIME THINKI
