Ever been to Coney Island on a hot Sunday afternoon? It's a fabulous place where a stupendous assortment of metropolitan humanity throngs in an apparent ef­ fort to outnumber the grains of sand on the beach and in so doing spills over into the tumbling oeran surf. 3t is the place where the “ great unwashed” goes to puddle its feet in the Atlantic. It’s a sprawling, tangled monument to hot dogs, picnics and idle sun worship. It is a xneeca of blistered noses and shoul- , ders, beach umbrellas and portable radios. It is the place where lost children cry for their mothers. JohnK.O’Bryani Dies Saturday AtJamestown John K. O’Bryant, 72; near Jamestown, died at a Jamestown rest home Saturday at 12:30 p. nr. He had been in failing health seven years. The son o f George and Eliza­ beth Caraway O’Bryant, »-* was born Oct. 9, 1875 in Scioto coun­ ty. A retired farmer, he had lived in the Jamestown area a number o f years. He is survived by nine daugh­ ters, Mrs. Bertha Little, Lees­ burg; Mrs. Bryan Lynch and Mrs. Esta Stafford, Jamestown; Miss­ es Blanche and Mary Alice O’Bryant, Wahington, IX 0.; Mrs, Ruby Rowell, Louisville, Ky.; MrsuEdward Molten, Manchester, la .; Mrs. Lucille Myers, Batavia; and Miss Helen O’Bryant, Day- ton; two sons. George, Ironton, and Edward, Xenia; a sister, Mrs. Margaret Thompson, Portsmouth; and two brother.5;, Orville, James­ town, and Isham, Reardon, 0. His wife, Dora died about two years ago.

NewLineto Suply Water AtCounty Fair When Greene county holds its annuals agriculture exhibition at the fairgrounds, Aug. 0, 4, 5, and 6, 1948, with hundreds of head o f livestock and thousands of people to see them, its like having a small city to consider, fo r a few days and njghts. There are many things to be taken care o‘f to provide for the safety and comfort o f the patrons and the livestock too. One o f these necessities is the supply o f water. Long ago the use of the old wells was prohibit­ ed fox* drinking purposes. These were supplanted by new drink­ ing fountains, supplied with clear, clean, cool Xenia city water, to quench the thirst. As each new barn was erected the wate mains were extended to meet requirements. But more and more livestock came and now this year the water lines have had 1000ft. added to them. For the mqst part this was of two-inch pipe which should take care o f the present and some future years of providing the cattle, hogs and sheep with what they should have both for drinking purposes and for the shower baths which are so necessary. O f course the new horse barn will be supplied too so it appears that 1948 will find adequate ar­ rangements made to take care of this constant demand for a “ drink o f water.” Mrs. J. F* Gibbens Dies in Chicago Mrs. J. F. Gibbens, 44, died Monday, July 12, at Presbyter­ ian hospital in Chicago following an illness o f several months. Mrs. Gibbens is survived by one sister, Mrs. Robert Franklin o f Jamestown, three children and five brothers. Funeral services were held in Ghicago Thursday morning with burial also being made in Chi­ cago. A casual, very-low appraisal o f the first cost of the automo­ biles you can see with, the naked eye anywhere yon look runs into hjgher figures than the bank re­ port shows.

Johnson for a declaratory judg­ ment in the paying o f $4,81X73 in bills; submitted- by five county offices and which the auditor considers were incurred illegally. A breakdown o f bills as listed in the nyditor’s suit had beer, re­ ceived from the sheriffs office, county road department urs :er the engineer, county infirmary, coun­ ty children’s home and the coun­ ty poor relief agency. Ourlett said he had been ad­ vised by a state official that he could not legally h sue warrants for the .payment of the bills with­ out a court order. The auditor explained it had long been a state law requiring the issuance of purchase certifi­ cate.; in the obtaining o f supplies but that an amendment*effective la?.t September, had forced more strict compliance. The law, C’urleit said, Touts appropriation expenditures by county agencies to contracts un­ der purchase ccrtimiraUr. No fiscal officer is allowed to certi­ fy such purchases made other, wise, lie added. The $8,813.73 in hills hold up by the auditor, pending a court order, if issued, authorizing pay­ ment, were all held over from last year, Curlett explained. lie said office-holder.' are fa­ miliar with the law requiring pur­ chase certificates, as well as agents selling to the county. He warned such firms to have a pur­ chase order first before deliver­ ing any supplies to county offices if they wanted to be paid. . Curlett said any checks issued to pay these unauthorized hills would make him liable for find­ ings by the state examiner. A court order would relieve him o f this responsibility, he said.

There is. quite a-Jong .roll of red tape to unwind each year in order that the fair board may have a certified veterinarian on duty during tile four day and night, annual fair. The fair board starts the un­ winding by submitting the name of the veterinarian whom they choose, to the director of agricul­ ture, Frank Farnsworth. This in' tui’ii is checked and accredited by the state veterinarian, Dr. H. G. Geyer, and returned to the fair board for confirmation. Said papers being duly signed are sent to the state department of agrieultude, for filing. Sounds like a lot of bother. But back of it all is a series of checking that eventuates in there being a veterinarian in charge at thp lair who shall “ inspect the livestock entries and necessary health certificates for evidence of infectious diseases and carry out the instructions of the State department to protect the health of the livestock exhibited at the fair.” Dr. M. F. Belden has been se­ lected for this year. He served a few years ago, prior to a mili­ tary duty. All the veterinarians who have so served the fair thus far, have done so commendably.
