He is getting along fine and was able to walk down , town Wednesday, and his many friends were glad to see him getting along so nicely. It will be of interest to all good road boosters to kow that under the new county highway system being mapped out by our county commis sioners the north and south road through -Weeping Wtaer to be desig nated as the county road is'the one coming in from the south. over the Boyle hill and going north past the Henry Smith stone house, the J.

He said he would leave the car with Mrs. Ruhga at Elm wood until the roads recuperated from their snow bath. The singing of the spring-time birds, the planting of gardens, the sowing of oats and the reparations for blossoming out in new finery on Easter day received quite a set-back in last Saturday's snowstorm and blizzard. The result was a foot of smw for Easter day, an unusual sighteven in weather freakish Ne braska. The snow was heavily laden with moisture (.6 of an Inch) and will be of great benefit to soil and crops. In spite of the heaviness of the snow there was a lot of drifting with the resultant, impairment of traffic and mail service. Mrs. F. W. Fowler, while return ing home Tuesday evening from the Mrs. J. W Bullis home where she i had made a short visit, fell off the sidewalk at the west side of Am bler's store.

Wednesday morning she was unable to raise h,er right arm so she phoned to her daugh ter, Mrs. Paul Marshall at Elmwood and Mr. Marshall came down and took her home wtih .hi mso she could have the proper care. ' Mrs. Fowler said it was dark there and she couldn't see the walk and got too close to the outer edge and went into the rement gutter several feet below. - M I 1 1 M IMMMIMM'M'M M a.

STATEMENT FROM GEORGE JACKSON AS CANDIDATE Nelson, Neb., April 10. To be the chief executive of a state having t population of a million and a half is both an honor and a responsibil ity. I approach my candidacy with a full realization of the duties that devolve upon the governor of a great K3te. Fifty years of statehood ha brought Nebraska to' a place in the risterhood of commonwealths that creates a sense of pride in her citi zens for her substantial and sturdy achievement. Every legitimate vo c?.tion and enterprise has contiibut ed its share towards the upbuildin? cf that reputation, and' it will be my purpose and pleasure if elected tc urge that selfish ambitions and class consciousness be subordinated to tbe larger good of all. The business of politics is the state's biggest business. I.havejUv cn many years to public service, an 3 it is a matter in which I hope I may take pardonable pride that the ch-ie incentive towards my candidal' comes from those people whom I have most intimately represented in past sessions of the legislature auC the present Constitutional Conven tion. - - In the same measure that I have kept the faith with them, I'shall hope to merit the confidence of ev ery person In Nebraska. Should I be nominated in the pri maries next month a9 the democrat ic candidate for governor, I will make a vigorous campaign, calling to my support all those who believe in the fundamental principles' ot democracy. v , If elected, I shall invite the can did suggestions of people of ever class and station, reserving always the right to form my own conclu siosn of what my official duties shall be. Upon my record as a, servant of the people and a citizen of the stao, and without appeal to any faction. T submit my candidacy to the voters of Nebraska. Yours truly, d&w.
