Falmouth Outlook Friday 18 May 1923 Vol. 16 No. 50 Pg. 1 Col. 6 A STATEMENT Mr. J. N. Riddel, of Robinson Station, comes back at us. He says he did not hit car. Editor Outlook: -- I wish to correct the unfair and erroneous statement in last week's Outlook, in which you make it appear that I hit Mr. Boone Wright's machine, turning it over, etc. The fact is, I hit no machine and knew nothing of the accident until I read it in the Outlook. It certainly must have been a case of mistaken identity. Just why such a report should be given out and given any credence at all is certainly beyond anything I can fathom. Had I hit Mr. Wright's car or any other I would have stopped and rendered such assistance as might have been necessary, pecuniary or otherwise. Again, had I hit another car, don't you suppose my car would have been more or less damaged? As the matter stands, there isn't a bruise of any kind upon my little Ford. Of course I am sorry that Mr. Wright was injured and sorry to learn of the accident. But those who know Jim Riddell know that he never runs from nor deserts one in trouble. I am not built that way. If I had hit Mr. Wright's car, I would have known it and would have stopped at once to render what help I could. Whoever put out such a report certainly has the "wrong sow by the ear", for it was not J. N. RIDDELL Robinson Station, KY May 14, 1923. Falmouth Outlook Friday 18 May 1923 Vol. 16 No. 50 Pg. 6 Col. 7 ONE REASON HE WAS IN THE ASYLUM A man was one day visiting an asylum and while walking the grounds he met a patient, to whom he said: Well, how did you get here? The man replied, "Well, sir, you see I married a widow with a grown up daughter; and then my father married my wife's daughter; that made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law and my father became my stepson.Then my step-mother, the daughter of my wife, had a son, and that boy, of course was my brother, because he was my father's son; but he was also the son of my wife's step daughter, and therefore her grandson, and that made me the grandfather of my step-brother. Then my wife had a son, so my mother-in-law, the step sister of my son, is alsohis grandmother, because his step-sister is my wife; I am the brother ofmy own son, who is also the son of my step-grandmother.I am my mother's brother in law; my wife is her own child's aunt; my son is my father's nephew, and I am my own grandfather. That's one reason I am here, sir." Falmouth Outlook Friday 18 May 1923 Vol. 16 No. 50 Pg. 8 Col. 7 MT. GILEAD NEWS ITEMS A. J. Whalen still remains seriously ill. Mrs. J. T.
