While a boy of 14 years, driving a 4-liorse team at tached to a disc was crossing a little draw in the field that had been quite badly washed in last week's rain, one of the horses stumbled and fell, and in trying to regain its feet got the other horses excited and all four, horses started on a run, the disc strik ing the washout, throwing the boy to the ground. In some manner one of the lines got wrapped around the boy’s legs. By this time the horses were in full r.:n across the field, drag ing tiie little fellow by one leg. The runaways ran about 40 rods right towards the boy's fattier, who was listing corn in the same field. Im agine the feelings of the father watch ing his son dragged behind a disc with four horses attached. However, the horses were finally stopped by the father, with no damage to them, or to the disc, and the boy also came out without a scratoh. outside of a sprained thumb. THE PROPER THING TO DO Rev. M. H. Jordan, former pastor at Conway, Iowa, who seems to fully understand himself, recently said in tiie pulpit: “Encourage the local newspaper man. I suppose that we do not know how much thought, care and anxiety it takes to get the local newspaper in our homes. There are annoyances and perplex ities. and perplexities and annoyances connected with the publishing of the paper that no one knows anything about except the editor. Gathering the items of news and the necessary material for each week's issue is in our estimation a great task. That the editor is expected to get a correct account of the week's hap j penings in each week’s paper lie | must spend time in thought in pre paring editorials and notices of va rious descriptions, and must study what people want to read and put in the kind of news people want. The editor must be careful about thegrammer and orthography and use his commas, colons, semicolons, periods, quotations and interrogation marks in proper places. lie must make the paper as attractive as pos sible. Let us encourage the editor, i If he gets out a good paper tell him so. Our local paper would be a credit to a town many times the size of this. Encourage the local newspaper man with your words and means. Don’t think he will be arrogant, puffed up or vain. Before the night or day which you say encouraging things to the editor there will be some one who will drop into the office and say de pressing things about the paper find fault with something. What would a town be without a local newspaper? We need the local paper so let us helo encourage the one who makes the local newspaper passible in the village”.
