Several evenings this weeks few
persons might have been noticed on the
streets of Jackson, grotesquely attired
and masked. The explanation is that
it is the carnival season, which includes
the week before Lent. In Italy and
some other European countries, Mardi
Gras is the festival of the year from a
fun-loving standpoint, and those who
have participated in these frolics in the
older countries, have yearning to re-
new the pleasure whenever the season
rolls round.
AS DR. Endicott was proceeding to
lone on horseback Saturday night he
met with an accident which fortunately
was not attended with any serious re-
suits. The night was dark. When
near Kerrs station, his horse stumb bled
and fell. The doctors foot was some
how wrenched, but he was able to con-
tinue his journey. Next morning, how
ever, he was unable to bear any weight
upon the injured foot, and riding back
to Jackson was out of the question.
He returned in buggy Sunday, and
on reaching here the soreness had al
most entirely disappeared. Next day
he was able to move about as well as
before the accident.
The meeting that was announced to
be held in the supervisors room last
Saturday to consider the proposition
of taking up the water pipe laid along
the lone road for sprinkling purposes
last summer, did not materialize.
There were not enough present to do
any business, so the whole matter
went by the board. Nevertheless, the
sentiment at this end of the line at
least, is strongly in favor of selling all
the sprinkling outfit. 1t is thought
that the money can be spent to better
advantage in improving the road in
other ways.
William H. George was in jackson
