One of the most exciting runaways
took place on Route 2 the past week,
of any this spring. 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”.
