COUNTY FAIR
ASSOCIATION
Does Llittle Besides Adopting
Constitution and By-laws
At the adjourned meeting of the
County Fair Association last Saturday
afternoon, barely enough could be
herded in Society Hall to make a
quorum, very few farmers being in
town, so busy were they putting up
alfalfa and rushing farm work of all
kinds. The main work of the meet
ing was the adoption of the constitu
tion and by-laws, which was com
pleted with some minor changes from
the regular committee report. The
main changes were in the boaTd of
managers which was changed to seven
members, including the president,
secretary and treasurer, and the sec
retary substituted for president, as
the proper one to submit reports of
the association’s doings to the secre
tary of the State Fair. The meeting
took a recess till two weeks from that
date, June 21, and urgent request
made for a full turnout.

Odd Fellows Hold
Memorial Services
Last Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock
I the Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges
of this city held their annual mem
orial services in their society hall.
The rjom was beautifully decorated
with bunting, mottoes and flowers
and presented a most charming ap
pearance. Owing to the lack of room,
the general public could not be in
vited, the hall being only sufficiently
large to accommodate the members of
the two orders and their families,
which tilled the seating capacity. The
program began with music by our
silver cornet band, followed by the
National anthem, “Ameiica,” given
by the audience. Prayer by Dr.
Leeper was followed by a sweet solo
from Mrs. T. R. Lay and a choice and
well spoken recitation by Mrs. J. W.
Conger. A quartet, composed of Mrs.
J. W. Conger, Miss Nettie Conger, A.
T. Conger and R. II. Mathews then
rendered the taking song, “Going
Down the Valley,” followed by a
comet solo by R. N. Pritchard. Then
came the address of the occasion by
Dr. Leeper, the subject being “From
Jerulasem to .Jericho,” which was the
finest we have ever heard, occupying
some fifty minutes' time, with not a
dull moment from the begriming to
the closing of the theme and reflected
great credit on the speaker, and car
rying with it the closest attention of
the members of the great order. At
the close of the address, the band
rendered another splendid selection,
followed by one of the most touching,
spectacular and well gotten up
tableaus ever given in our city. The
scene represented a grave, profusely
covered with flowers, at which a little
girl, Bessie Conger, kneeled with
clasped hands, frequently raised
toward heaven, while the quartet,
named above, sang “Why Did They
Dig Pa's Grave So Deep?”, the scene
and sentiment of the song causing
deep feeling with all present. The
congregation sang, “God Be With
You Till We Meet Again,” which
closed the program at the hall, after
which all repaired to the cemetery,
where after music by the band the
graves bt* departed members were
strewn with flowers, benediction was
given and the day passed into history
as one of the most memorable in the
liistory of the local order.
Creek Meets Creek
To the Tune of $104
Last Saturday afternoon was oc
cupied at county judge headquarters
in the hearing of the Greek mixup
which occurred down near Hazard
last week, as mentioned in our col
umns last issue, resulting in one be
ing here on trial charged with deadly
assault, his victim being taken to a
hospital in Grand Island in bad shape,
and with probabilities he would die.
There were about a dozen Greeks here
as witnesses, only two of whom could
master any English. However, before
the hour of trial, word came from
Grand Island that the injured son of
Greece was getting along nicely and
no serious results were liable to en
sue, arid after consultation, and wish
ing to save useless expense to the
county and probably useless expense
in the future, Judge Wall for the de
fense and County Attorney Pedler
agreed that upon the defendant plead
ing guilty to the minor charge of as
sault and paying a fine and total costs
of the case, amounting in round
numbers to the sum of 1104, which
was assessed by his honor, Judge
Smith, the case would be dropped and
defendant discharged, which wasdone.
The history of the trouble was very
simple. Defendant and the man he
assaulted were working together on
the B. & M. near Hazard, when de
fendant jocularly referred to the
other fellow's shoes, at which offense
was taken, a rotf followed, one using
a shovel and the other a spike maul,
with the result that the mafcil in the
hands of defendant was the best
weapon of the two and the cranium of
the injured Greek met it head on arid
went to the hospital for repairs.
From all the evidence, it appears it
was just a case of a fight between the
two men, as a thousand and one
other fusses and fights are pulled off
and both men were to blame.
Special Teachers’ Examination.
A special teachers’ examination
will be given the third Friday and
following Saturday in June, June 20
and 21st. 1913. in all county certificate
subjects only. L. H. Currier,
County Superintendent.

Opening Day Was
Gala Time At Park
The opening day-at Jenner's Park
Tuesday was everything that could be
wished, the weather man being on
his best behavior and furnishing the
very finest brand lie could dish up.
The atmosphere was just cool enough
in the morning and even throughout
the dav to make out-of-doors the most
pleasurable for all mankind. Early
morning trains came loaded with
humanity from neighboring towns,
while others not connected by rail
sent in autos and teams loaded down
with happy people bent on having a
joyous day’s outing. All natureseem
ed to play into the hands of the
Jenner boys and the park was filled
from morn till night and even till
late hours with a great throng of
people. All forms of amusement in
the park, the cages of animals, the
inviting green swards, the number
less curios in the paviilion, the ball
park, each had their devotees, and no
one seemed to have a dull moment to
spare. Among the principal events
in the park afternoon and evening,
were the lecture* and great showing
of strength of our big wrestler,
Warren Miller, and the lariet work
of our expert young friend,Burt Kay,
both of which were fine and called
forth exclamations of astonishment
and satisfaction. The event at the
ball park, whicti is given elsewhere in
these columns, claimed a big crowd
in the afternoon and was most excit
ing. The lighting of the park by
electricity caused larger crowds in the
evening than usual, and the pavilion
was filled with merry dancers during
the evening and till long after the
midnight hour. The day was made
especially pleasurable by the splendid
music furnished by our Sliver Cornet
Band which certainly did itself proud
and was on the job in the best of
shape.
Nlrs. J. W. Jones
Badly Injured.
Last Sunday, as Dr. and Mrs. J. W.
Jones were driving up the valley to
the home of their son. Hempel Jones,
and when near the Stehgerfarm. they
were met by an auto driven by Mr.
Lonnie Jenkins of Arcadia in a narrow
passageway on the road, the horse
shying up on a bank, overturning the
buggy, running away, kicking and
smashing the vehicle, throwing them
out, Mrs. Jones receiving severe in
juries, from which she is now suffer
ing and being too badly hurt to be
brought back to the city. She is in
great pain and seems to be injured
about the back, spine and hips, so
much so that she can not bear being
ing touched or handled. It isclaimed
the auto failed to give sufficient room
for the buggy to pass without running
up on the bank, causing the accident
above. It was hoped she might be so
far recovered as to be brought to her
home in this city today.
Fall Down Cellar
Breaks Finger
While going down the cellar stairs at
the Frederick. Monday, Miss Ernes
tine Odendalil missed her footing and
fell from top to basement floor, break
ing one linger and vadly spraining
the hand. Just how the misstep oc
curred and cause for same is not de
termined. However, the young lady
fortunately incurred no further in
juries save a severe jar to the body.
Face Bruised by
Fall on Ginders
Mr. Jake Synak, section foreman
for the Burlington here, received a
severe fall in the yards, Monday of
this week, badly bruising him about
the face. A misstep caused him to
fall heavily on his face, with no
chance to even partially break the fall.
Dr. Main dressed the injuries which,
will only prove painful and not
serious.

On the new railroad just completed from Kearney to Stapleton in
Logan County, Nebraska, we have a very desirable stock and grain
ui m of 11 Jo acres for only $25 an acre, and to responsible parties
with plenty of help, easy terms of sale will be given or a small farm,
priced right, might be accepted as part payment. It consists of a
very fine table land, with deep black soil, clay subsoil, under cultiva
tion, fine, level, black sandy loam valley, alfalfa land, and rolling
pasture land, deep black soil, clay subsoil, the table land is in one
body, the alfalfa land is in one body and the pasture land in one body
or tracticall.v so and this adjoins the building. An abundance of pure
cold, soft water is supplied by two wells, windmills and pumps, one
being in the pasture and the other convenient to the buildings,good cis
tern, a comfortable house of five rooms; very fair barn with hay loft
and some other small buildings: considerable fence, two nice groves,
one north of the feed yards, the other on the valley. It is very con -
venient to school, about five miles over good roads to one railroad
station and 7 to 9 miles to 3 other towns, one being the county seat.
It is surrounded by good farms, many of which are well improved
and grow splendid corn, fall wheat and alfalfa. No better* potatoes
grow anywhere. This is a desirable home farm upon which to grow
grain of all kinds and alfalfa; to raise cattle or any kind of farm stock
and fatten them for market; and is just as sure to be worth $50 an
acre in a short time, as anything can possibly be. Up to the time
this railroad was built, these lands were from 30 to 40 miles from
maaket. On this account development was held back,but as a judge of
land, .\ ou will see at a glance that this farm is worth your serious
consideration as a buyer, and should especially appeal to you if you
bare grown boys or want to get more acres for the purpose of secur
ing the rapid advance in value, which is sure to come. We know
th; t people able to buy this farm do not want to chase shaddows or
buy blue sky. We have no time to waste in showing it to people who do
not mean business or can not buy if it suited them and is as represento
“d. but we will be pleased to devote all the time necessary to show it
thoroughly to people really meaning business and who can and will
bu; it the farm is as we describe it, and well be more than pleased to
furnish any desired information. Do not be afraid to ask questions.
