Much good work was done on
the road all along the line in every
township. The entire road was
not put in as good shape as some
ex peek'd it would be, but many
bad places were made good and
the entire road is now in fairly
good condition.
The work done is a fair indica
tion of what might be accomplish
ed along this lino if all the people
who ought to be interested in the
work would do their whole duty.

MARION HACKNEY INJURED
Struck by Hammer Thrown at
His Son by Tom Dorothy
Marion Hackney, a farmer on V. j
V. Cook’s place in Oil Trough, is in !
a critical condition as the result of
injuries to his head, about which i
l there seems to be some doubt as to
how they were inflicted.
Hackney is about 45 years of
age, is married and has five child
ren. Marion Hackney, with his
stepson, Sterling, and Burt Will
iams, was returning home from
Newport in a wagon when Tom
Dorothy passed them on a horse.
Young Hackney and Williams, it
is said, began cursing Dorathy and
tried to catch him. Dorathy had
reached home and was unsaddling
his horse when the party passed
and the boys, it is alleged, again
abused him and threw a can of
kraut at him. He picked up a ham
mer and threw it at Yoofig Hack
ney, but it is supposed to have
missed him and struck Marion
Hackney on the head, fracturing
his skull. >
Dorathy was arrested Sunday by
Sheriff Neal of Newport and was
released on bond. The matter is
beiDg investigated by the .Jackson
county grand jury which is now
in session.
It is feared that Hackney can
not recover.
SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY
School opens next Monday and
thats a good time to start your
boy or girl to school. Don’t keep
them out of school. Who knows
what that bright boy or girl of
yours might develop into if given
jachancef Because your life may
have been narrow and cramped,
and educational opportunities
denied you, don’t withhold them
from the young people, who in the
struggle of life in the years to come
will need the full measure of the
powers that now lie dormant and
latent within them. Give the boy
or the girl a chance, and if nothing
else comes of it, they will be bet
ter men and women for the time
spent in school. And better men
and women is the crying need of
the world, yesterday, today and
forever.
