town of hayton, where "the
monkey war," as the" mountaineers
call the evolution battle, rageu.
Tim "Worst Itetitler."
Generation after generation of
Morgans have lived ntop Waldon's
Ithlge and watched the valley folks
far below.
They call George Morgan, "the
worst reader In Ihe county.' That
means that he reads the most.
Mountaineers who sometimes
se a newspaper and who keep the
Holy Bible and a patent medicine
almanac upon t heir bare tables,
look at Morgan with awe.
"Old George Morgan's read this
Harwtn fellow." they tell you, and
a bit of re.sped and fear for one
one would so defy his God, rilus
through their voice.
We found "Old George" Morgan

"So much wrangling and jang

"Look at my mountains," and
his leiin brown fingers pointed to
la distant peak creamy with chest -I
