boys ought help their mothers and
not go hunting.
So Fred grew to be fourteen
years old, and still he had no gun,
On Thanksgiving day, he went to
visit his aunt who lived near Will
liamsburg. His uncle was great
hunter and he soon explained to
Fred how the old fashioned guns
were taken apart, loaded, and fired.
Fred could not withstand the temp
tation. On Friday afternoon when
uncle and aunt were busy he took
the gun and went into the woods
Every bush and tree seemed to
hide an animal. Whisk, went a
squirrel or a rabbit. Bang! went
the gun and Fred had killed a
squirrel.
Bang! Bang! Bang! went more
shots. BY that time Fred was tired
for the old muzzle loader was heavy
and kicked when he fired. Fred
returned with one racoon, two
SQUIRRELS and three rabbits. In the
meantime his father and mother
had arrived Every one was sur
prised when Carl came home drag
ging the gun and the game. The
next Christmas, daddy gave him a
brand new flint lock gun and a
powder horn.

Boy is Hung
Up on Fence
By His Heels

Once upon a time when my
father went to school Their was a
boy In the same class whom the
boys were playing tricks on all the
time. One day at recess the boys
got mad at the other boy and when
the teachers wasn't looking the
boys picked him out and hung him
head down on the picket fence by
his boots, picket run In each
boot When the bell rang this boy
did not appear The teacher
asked where he was but nobody
seemed to know The teacher
went out and found him In the
fence but she could not find out
who did 1t. think this was a
mean trick, don't you? 2. S.

Why Be on Top

When school closes and the re-
port cards are handed out, many
girls and boys look at their grades
and say, well. who cares to be at
the head of the class, anyway.
am satisfied with my grades even II
they are not high"
This Ii the wrong way Of looking
al 1t. You are going to school to
learn. Education is needed nova
days II you intend to succeed later
In life. Teachers are paid by the
state to see that you grow up to be
boys and girls VINO can read and
writo. have q knowledge OF your
country and OF foreign nations, and
arc able TO become good citizens. ,
II while you are In school You
say, u don't care whether get a
good grade" you will say the same
thing later on when you are trying
to work your way up In business or
10 q profession. Boys and girls who
arc In the don'tgive-a-care spirit,
sometimes stay In II. and as a re-
suit, they never succeed.
The boy and girl who is on the
top in the class room, Is the boy
and girl who will be on the top
later on. You need not be on the
top, merely for tho honor Of being
there, but you must DO on top In
order that you may succeed later.
The men who are on top now are
the boys who were on top years
ago.

Boy Slips Away to Hunt;
Kills Game, Gets New Gun

An old gray-haired man visited
the editor of the Junior Palladium
few days ago and told him this
story. He did not want his name
used because he is the little boy in
the story, and az he now has great
grand children, he said he would
not want them to find out what he
did when he was young boy in
Wayne county and there still was
plenty of game.
When Fred this Is not his name)
was he began to coax his daddy
to buy him gun. Daddy had been
great hunter in his early days,
and even had shot buffalo on the
prairies of the west before he came
to settle in Richmond, which was
only small village of few
houses.
When Fred was 9 years old he
believed he ought to start out to
be as great hunter as his father
was. Often he hunted along the
Whitewater river, with only stones
and sticks for weapons. He saw
squirrels, raccoOns and many small
wild animals. But of course, he
could not kill them without gun.
But daddy was firm. He said little

What do you intend to do? You re-
ceive a vacation in order that you
may rest and enjoy yourself. But
vacation does not mean that you
must stop growing both physically
and mentally. Plenty of exercise in
the open, long walks, picnics, work
In the garden, and scores of oppor-
tunities are offered you to grow
stronger physically. But while you
are doing this, remember that you
must also read and develop your
mind. 1t will not take much time
early every morning to get out the
text books you used last term and
read over what you studied. Keep
q book or a magazine handy and
devote a few minutes each day
reading. When school opens this
fall, you will be surprised at the
amount of extra knowledge you
have gained.

central part of Indiana on the Ohio
line. Wayne County has an area OF
four hundred and nine square
miles. 1t was formed in 1910.
Wayne county has fifteen town
ships. Harrison township being
one of them. 1t IL in the west cen
trail part of Wayne county. Jack
sonburg, being the only village in
the township.
In the year of 1914, Robert Lea
veil sold twenty acres from the
north west quarter Of the south
west quarter of section eight of his
farm. These twenty acres were
made into town lots which now
form the village Of Jacksonburg.
On March %, 1915, the following
spring, Henry Bryon surveyed and
had the land recorded. Jackson
burg is the oldest village in the
county except Salisbury which has
been changed to Centerville.
In the year of 1886 Jacksonburg
was the voting place for Jackson
township, and in 1S43 Harrison
Township was laid out. Then
Jacksonburg became the voting
place for Harrison Township,
which it still retains. The first vot-
ing place was at the home of John
Williams.
In the early days Jacksonburg
was the center for military pa
rades. Amusements OF the day
were horse racing, shooting at
mark, wrestling and sometimes
fighting, which was much out Of
place. Often times there were
large circuses held here.
Jacksonburg had it's largest
population from 1880 to 1910, which
was from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred After the plot for
Cambridge City was laid out, that
stopped the growth Of Jacksonburg.
In 1850 the population dropped to
less than two hundred. In 1870
there were one hundred and nine
people here. In 1880 there we're
one hundred and twelve inhabi-
tants.
Abraham Elliot was one of the
first to settle in Jacksonburg. He
kept a tavern in log house.
A tannery was owned by Josiah
Bradbury. A pottery by Zachariah
Gapen A hat shop was owned by
John Zatt. Jodak Daugherty
owned a blacksmith shop, and a
shop for making spinning wheels.
The oldest house now in Jackson
burg Is owned and occupied by
George Splitter.
Jonathan Kidweli who settled in
the town soon after it was laid out
was a wheelright, and for a time a
preacher in the Christian church.
Later he became a Universalist
preacher as well as a school teach.
en- --
The first physician In Jackson
burg was Alto Waldo. He came
here in the year of 1917. Fifteen
years later he moved to Delaware
The next was l.. p. Pun
phrey. who after few years moved
to Henry county. Among his sue
were Doctor Leggett, Doc
tor Taylor in the year Of 1S49. Doc
tor Samuel S. Boyd of Dublin came
later. After him came Doctor John
