he has ‘em trained fine and some expressed their opinion that it would be

very instructive.

MERRILL MARTIN EXPIRES AT HOME IN Bieber MONDAY
DEATH DUE TO the AFTER AFFECTS OF PNEUMONIA; FUNERAL TO BE HELD AT Bieber
THURSDAY
Merrill Martin, formerly of Fort Bidwell, but later a resident of Bieber for
the past several years, passed away at that place Monday morning. He has
been ailing for sometime and recently suffered an attack of pneumonia, which
was the direct cause of his death. He was a World War veteran and received
wounds from, which he did not recover and caused him to be in poor health
ever since the war. The deceased leaves his wife and two children and a
brother, Joe Martin, who is in the C.C.C. Camp. He is a nephew of Mrs. M.
Fitzgerald, of this place. He is also related to the Garrett family who

COLLISION AT REA’S CORNER
J. H. Hutchinson, who was driving the County Truck loaded with gravel, was
coming east yesterday morning from the Canyon and in making the turn at the
Corner of Rea’s Hardware store met and collided with the Chevrolet touring
car driven by John Perry, who was accompanied by Gabe Beebe. No serious
injury resulted to the occupants of either car, but the left hind wheel of
the Chevrolet was smashed and the bolt broken out of the bumper of the Ford
truck.
The CHATTER BOX
"Tuck" Adams tells us that the parents of Cedarville should put a tag on
their "kids" so that he would know to whom they belong. You know that it so
happened that "Tuck" was misled at least that’s what we will call it and
tried to deliver a run away youngster to the wrong parents. Well, "Tuck",
after you are the father of thirteen or more, you might be able to recognize
them.
You know folks, that dog – gone September sheet on ye editor’s calendar got
him in a lot of trouble. Thought a dozen times I would get up enough
ambition to tear the darned thing off, but it remained there until I had
made several mistakes in dates. First along comes George Howe, and tells us
that there will be a Civic Club Card Party on the last Friday in the month,
so I looked at the calendar and cast my optics on the Friday square and run
on down the line to the last Friday of the month, which fell on September
the 29th; so the date of the party read the 29th. Well, the last Friday in
October falls on the 27th and in September the last Friday fell on the 29th.
However the party will be Friday night, (this week) October 27th.
Yeah, and that wasn’t the only tangle in the dates which appeared last week
in the Record. We are not superstitious, but just think of starting the fine
seven and a half pound daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clindon Franklin out on the
stormy sea of life on Friday, October 13th, which was a mistake in the date,
as little Alma Marlene arrived via Stork route on Saturday, October 14th. Ye
editor was born on Friday, September the 13th, quite a few years ago, and he
happens to know what effect Friday the 13th has on a fellow. The little
newcomer had a narrow escape from the same fate, we’d call it.
NEW CITIZENS ARE ARRIVING
