is well known here. is also expected
to be present and address the people.
Altogether it will be a pleasurable
and profitable day and the attend
ence should be worthy of the enter
tainment.

ANDERSON'S BARN BURNS

Those Hartford folks who go early
to. bed were rougted out about $3.50
Saturday night by shouts of fire and
that unmistakable signal. the ringing
OF the courthouse bell. Carl An
derson's barn was burning. Discov-
cry of the flre wcs made too late to
save any of the contents Of the build
ing except a COW that was turned out
of its stall. A new Ford automo-
bile and a quantity of new pea hay
and some corn constituted the loss,
in addition to the building. The loss
was about $1,000, largely covered by
insurance The fire is supposed to
have originated from spontaneous
combustion of new and wet pea hay
recently stored.
The fire god seems to have a griev-
ance against Mr.. Anderson. as he -
his dwelling by fire seven or eight
years ago.

And Is Terribly Beaten
For Resisting,

If the story of WEISS Hall and mis-
y .fe. on aged couple liv'uS at Dun
dee. is worthy OF credit q crime more
revolving than the one which result
ed in the hanging of two men In Lo-
gan county a few years ago. was COM
mitted in Ohio county, near Magyar,
at an early hour Monday morning.
The story as related by Hall and
his wife and partially confirmed, at
least. by terrible cuts and bruises on
both the man and his wife, is about
as follows.
Hall and his wife had been visit
ing their son, Ernest Hall. at Owens
boro. and young Hall and his wife
we're returning with them Sunday
night. and that when between Magyar
and Dundee the decrepit horse they
were driving faded and was unable
to pull the load up Kill and some
young men out fox hunting assisted
them to make the hill. When on top

rain in the John Lanham house, which
was empty Late in the night, or
rather early in the morning. a num-
Der of men who were said to be
drinking, approached the house and
at once became disorderly Alarm
ed, the younger Hall and his wife ran
from the house and hid in the woods.
After the escape of the younger
people two of the men, according to
Hall and his wife assaulted the wo-
man, and when the husband. who is
nearly eighty years old and nearly
deaf. resisted his wifeis mistreat-
ment, one OF the men sat upon him
with a fox horn and beat him I'M
mercifully, and after knocking him
down stamped him till number Of

the woman attempted TO escape by a
door. she was assaulted with a club
by one of the men and some ugly
scars OH HeT hedu anu iaN0 iS'u''V"'
Young Hall and his wife came on
to Dundee and after daylight got a
horse and went back and brought the
ola couple to Dundee, where a doctor
dressed their wounds. which are very
serious. Mrs. Hall is a very old wo-
man and an invalid, requiring help
to get in or out of the wagon mwhich

A son OF the Halls came to Hartford
Tuesday and swore out writs for

MORE DEMOCRATIC EVIDENCE

Commenting on the action Of Judge
Slack and Commonwealth Attorney
Smith In transferring a noted murder
case from tie DGviess circuit court
for trial in Hancock county the Han
cock Clarion, A Democratic news
paper published at Hawesyille, paid
this fine tribute to these worthy Of
ficials in its issue of Nov. /, 1918:
Three years ago when the electors
of this district elected r. w. Slack
circuit judge and c. f. Smith COM
mouwealth's attorney we felt like
they had made an awful mistake"
We were then narrow enough to be
lieve that nobody could handle or
perform so well the duties of judge
or commonwealth attorney as Judge
Birkhead and Mr.. Ringo had done
and could do. Our good opinion of
these men has not been lessered in
the least, but late happenings have
caused us to see that these two Off
GERS have been succeeded by two men
well qualified to perform their re-
spective duties and possess moral
courages sufficient to guarantee JUS
tice to all"

BIG ROAD PROJECT Is
NOW NEARING COMPLETION

The most far-reaching public en-
terprise ever undertaken in OHIO
county was the construction of the
road leading from Beda to intersect
the Daviess county line at Pleasant
Ridge. In company with the memb ers
of the fiscal court we drove over this
road Wedn5 sday afternoon. and We
were pleasingly surprised to find a
piece OF road construction work, not
yet, however. completed. that would
do honor to the most advanced sec
ton OF the state. Grades have been
cut down, hills cut around land the
roadbod widened promising one OF
the most modern highways of the
state. We were Informed by MEM
bers of the fiscal court that for this
division of road from Beda to Pleas
ant Ridge the county was required
to contribute only about $4,000
and the remainder of the cost of con-
struction was paid for by the state,
and that the state weuld assume the
upkeep of the road when built. This
section Of road will have been COM
pleted before winter weather sets In
If we should have a favorable fall. MI
merous teams and men are now en-
ployed at uncompleted points and
they are making fine progress.--With
this work done and the state assum-
ing the upkeep Of the road, the re-
sources of the county may now be
turned to other important roads Of
the county, and within a few years
the principal roads of the county may
be put in excellent order.

discuss ways and means to put an end

order. A committee was appointed
to take the matter In hand, and when
sufficient funds have been RAISED
some capable man will be selected for
the purpose and, the county judge

THE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

Ohio county is just entering upon
its first experience with the CONSOLE
dated school composed of three dis
tiicis. Graham. Oar Grove and Crom-
wen. The school is being taught at
Cromwell. with Prof. l. S Mason as
principal. and Misses Alma Simp-
son and Lena Adams assistants. Three
wagons bringing twenty-five pupils
each. convey the seventy-fiye pu-
pills Of the former Graham and Oak
Grove districts to Cromwell each
morning and return for them tt the
hour for closing school in the after
noon. The wagons were built for
the specia. purpose for which tn, y
are being d1ed and cost about $3.50
each. The wagons as well as the
cost of daily transportation, which is
S2.25 for each wagon are paid for
out of a tax on one dollar on each
pat1on of he districts named. The
pdrils of tn Cromwell district walk
to school.
This ~. .cm of consolidated schools
obtains in most of the states nn"'k of
US. and The experiment should he
carefully watched by parents OF
school children " this county, and
IL it moses effective the system
should he extended throughout The
coGnty The consolidated school Of
fers many advantages over the dis
trict school. chief of which are the
higher efficiency ald the grading of
the studies. 1t is spoci"liYed school
instead of a crazy quilt affair as the
district s"hpol must of necessity he.
These consolidated schools may be
organized through the agency Of the
county school board and complying
with its PROVISIONS. The only re-
luircment Of patrons of the proposed
wagon schools is that the district re-
qGiring tfaRsporta ION for its pupils
snail vote a moderate tax to meet
the cost of wagons and expense of
teams.
School patrons of the Matanzas
country are proposing an organiza-
ton o! consolidated school TO be
made up of six districts. DR.. Oscar
Allen of Cromwell, who is familiar
with the superior work being done at
that place, met with the citizens of the
Matanzas community Thursday night
of last week. and gave them an ac-
count of the workings of the school
in his home town.
