: HAZELTON NEWS. !

JIG. b. Hargis shipped four CARS of
cattle to the Kansas City market San
day.
Frank Wright had quite close call
the other night He was taken sick
and for time the chances were against
him. DIR. Burnett succeeded IN bring
ing him out all right.
For the past two or three weeks the
boys have had several horse races, and
just as soon as they can win enough
money they are going to ct up a good
track and run for all there is in it.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Burnett have had
the Blake property fixed up in good
shape and have moved in and are now
residents of HazeItoD. Another good
family added to our already excellent
class Of people.
Quite a number Of Hazeiton people
have visited the Lodge during the pres
ent term Of court, most Of them to
stand the test as to their qualifications
to sit as jurors. A few were there as
witnesses.
For some little time there has not
been a scrap in town, and whether this
is an indications that our boom is over
or simply an ondeavOr to live more
peaceably we are not able to determine,
but hope it is the latter.
w. w. Garvln is quite sick and it was
thought for time that he could hardly
pull through, but DR.. Burnett, with
good care has got him on the upgrade
again. He Will probably be out in
few days as good as ever.
Il. r. Maltble will have to answer to
the charge Of taking a couple Of pigs
that did not belong to him at the next
meeting Of the PleasantV Valley literary.
From what we have been able to learn
he Is going to make hard fight, but is
already found guilty unless he can fix
the jury between this and Friday night
The other day one of the teachers in
the Haze ton school asked her pupils
who was the smartest man in this coun-
try. One of them answered LongfellOw,
another said it was Mr.. j. F. Betty and
a third spoke up and said both of the
others were wrong, that Mr.. D. H. Dun
bar was by long odds the man. ANY
way you fix it this puts Hazelton IN the
Head two to one.
At the April meeting Of the Board of
County Commissioners an effort Will be
made to get the Board to build bridge
across the Medicine river one mile west
OF HaZelton at the place where the old
bridge was located. 1t would be hard
matter to find anyone ia this part of
the county who would oppose the en-
-terprise, as all know that it is an i'm.
prOyement much needed and one that
would be of great advantage to large
number of people, especially in this
and klowa townships, to say nothing
OF the large amount of travel by others.
ID. w. Stephens represented Charity
Lodge No. 263, A. +. & A. M. at the
Grand Lodge at Wichita last week, and
ne came home we'll pleased with his
trip and especially we'll pleased over
what he saw at the Masonic Home.
But this is something that every Mason
in the state can't help but be pleased
with, but in realityit Is a lasting
monument of what the Eastern Star
has done for the unfortunate Masons
and their children in Kansas, for it
was more through the efforts of this
order than any other that the Home
was finally made reality.
A week ago last Sunday during the
blizzard Miss Myrtle Jarvis, who is
teaching school southwest of Hazelton,
arrived st Hazelton on the afternoon
train. She got off at the Santa Fe depot
and walked to her boarding place about
five miles from town in the storm
rather than disappolnt her school On
the following day. We don't know
anything about what kind of teacher
Miss Jarvis is but we think that when
one will make such trip as she did to
be at her place of duty, she is certainly
one among our leading teachers,
whether she Is in the lead or not If she
continues in this way there is little
sdOubt of her finally being at the head of
sfhe list, for such determination and
pluck Is bound to win.
