Football Game.

Last 'Saturday afternoon an eleven
picked from the lone high school
played a team picked from the Jack
son boys on the local grounds. The
town boys won by the score of 100.
Both teams we're very much out of
practice, so did not put up the best
kind of game. They expect to play
again in the near future, but will
train for it, The same evening the
boys gave a dance with the proceeds
from the gate receipts.
They are trying to make arrange
ments for game with a San
Andreas team. The boys are most
enthusiastic over the idea of getting
up a good team here. There is no
doubt but that an eleven could be
brought together, made up entirely of
Jackson boys, that could beat any
team of it's size. The boys have
made up their minds to put as much
time as possible to practiring.
