w G. H4zelett and family drove
into Bucklin, Saturday. Mr.. Hazelett
of the first settlers here, but
about twelve years ago he left here and
went to the eastern part of the state
where he has lived since until last spri1 1g
the opening of the new lands down there,
but when the drawing came off he drew
a blank, so he pulled out for better
country, SO he is here. Whether he will
stay here permanently or not he has not
determined, but as he owns fine quarter
section not far from town, we think that
prehaps he will.
We are glad to state that the sick
folks here getting aloug nicely. l..
NJ. lay lor, who has been suffering with
al attact of typhoid, for some weeks, is
able to be up and around some, but he
has not ventured up town yet but we ex-
pect to hear his CHEEKY voice our
streets soon. Jessy Handy, who has
been down with the same disease, is able
to sit up some, but Jessie says that the
doctor has just about starved him to
death, consequently his legs are shaky
and he don't do much sprinting yet
-D.H. Scott and wife, of Topeka,
came down from Dodge City. Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Scott and lady have been
in this part of the state for the past week.
They went to Larned, Kansas, Saturday.
and came back here Tuesday Mr..
Scott is IL real estate man, connected
with the Rock Island Railway Company
and is taking great interest in settIin g
this part of the state with good eliable
people from the more densly populated
places in the east. Last week he had
| Mr. McCullison, of Shawnee county,
/ Kansas, here looking at the country and
| he expects to locate him somewhere in
| this part of the state. Tuesday, he had
Mr.. Shields. of Washington, Ia, look
/ ing for a location. MIR. Shields is now a
roadmaster on the Rock Island. He has
been an employee of this company for
thirty years.
/ School opened here Monday morning
and all things considered the attendance
on the first day was satisfactory, the en-
rollment for that day being IS. That
| does not look like very large number to
us outsiders, but when take into con-
sideration the fact these IS pupils range
in age from the little tot of six years to
the big tot of 1S years, some of whom
| have never been in school before, and
some have been in school for years,
| then begin to realize that the
| teacher had enough to do TO keep her
awake that first day. There will proba-
bly, be fifteen twenty more enrolled
during the next week two, and Miss
Howenstine will have all that she can do
to keep the young ideas shooting in the
right direction. but if the parents and
others who interested in the welfare
of the children of our community will
CO. operate with her, we have no doubt
but what she will succeed.
/ Last Sunday took a walk out TO
the place where the round house will
soon be. There we saw several things
that we did not know anything about,
but later on meeting Yard Master Muir
