the Standard Bearers banquet and
the thank offering service that fol

four courses and was a feast for

was in the nature of the opening OF

About 4:3O Monday afternoon at
the farm of A. NJ Griffin, four miles
northwest of Osceola occurred one
of the most terrible accidents that
has happened in Clarke county in re-
cent months, when Woodrow, the
three year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Griffin of Osceola, fell be-
meath the trucks of gang pillow in
such a manner as to almost crush his
head. At the time of the accident
the little boy was with his father,
his uncle Ohio and his grandfather
who were operating large gang
pillow drawn by a tractor. The lad
was riding on the platform of the
machine and when he saw his father
Jump off while the machine was in
motion he attempted to do likewise.
He fell beneath a wheel that ran
against his head in such manner as
to nearly scalp him and to cause a
compound fracture OF the bones Of
the head. He was picked up
and rushed in an automobile to the
hospital where Drs. Harken and Hol-
lenbeck dressed his wounds, after
which he was taken to his home
where at last report he was resting
as well as could be expected.-Osce-

County Road and Bridge Notes.

J Z 4 . " i 4 !
Money expended by the Board Of
Supervisors for road and bridge
purposes is raised by general taxa
ton, as the bridge and road cash
funds; and by special taxation as
the motor vehicle fund. The bridge
fund in Decatur county is rive
mill levy on all taxable property Of
$1,000 during 1916. The road
cash fund is made up from mill
road building levy, on all taxable
property outside of Incorporated cit,
les and towns; and the county road
fund, levy on all taxable property
Of the county, and these two funds
combined brought in $1e' CsH;c,e
fund, is as it's name implies,
special tax on motor vehicles except
heavy trucks This tax or license
is paid to the secretary or the state
ana by him returned to the county
treasurers. For instance so per
cent of all money received by the
secretary OF state from automobile
townships in the county, if sixteen
townships as in Decatur county,, we
receive sixteen times the amount to
one township. Or the other 10 per
cent, five maintains the highway
Commission and five the expense of
| this department of the state. Deca,-
| tur last year received from this fund
made twice each year on the 1lrst
day of April and on the first day OF
August
The motor vehicle fund must be
expended for the following purposes
only: browning, drainage dragging
or crawling the public highways
outside of the limits of cities and
towns, and for the building of per-
manent culverts on such highways:
The road cash fund shall be paid
OUT only on an order OF the Board or
Supervisors for the purchase OF tools,
machinery and equipment, or for
tile and thing, or for filling on cul-
verts and bridges, or for work done
on the county road system, or for
the elimination of danger at rail
road crossings on both county and
townships roads.
The bridge fund shall be expended
for the construction and maintenance
of bridges and culverts anywhere in
the county outside OF cities or the
tirst-class.
