Road to Fulton.

The citizens of Number Sixteen
have established a precedent in Obion
County which may well serve as an
example to the balance of the pop
ulation. This is to the effect that a
fund of $500 has been raised by the
people of that district for first-class
road from Harris to Fulton, to be
added to the regular road fund, and
the more important fact that every
man on the road has volunteered to
set his fence back without cost to
the county for a fifty-foot road. In
some localities the citizens along i'm
proved highways seem to think that
the county is indebted to them for
the privilege of making road adj
joining their premises and proceed
upon the theory that the privilege is
very valuable. They don't seem to
understand that the road is made for
their use and convenience. A very
sign is posted on one of
the road tractors belonging. to the
county highway department, read
ing: This is your road, don't
shoot"

killed by Motor Car.

Little Will Mailing Ogles, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Ogles, was killed
accidentally on First street, south,
last Monday. The boy was hanging
on to a delivery wagon taxing ride
and in the act of jumping off he
landed in front of "a touring car
driven by Mrs. T. L. Jordan. 1t is
said that Mrs. Jordan was driving
south on First street and that she
turned in her course to pass the
wagon Just then the boy dropped
from the wagon and her car struck
him on the back of the head. passing
over his body. Mrs. Jordan. it is
stated, had no time to reverse her
brake when she saw the danger and
was therefore poweriess to prevent
the accident.
A post morten examination show
ed that themeck and back were both
borken.
This is indeed great shock to the
parents of the little boy. Mr.. Ogles
is one Of our well known and very
generally esteemed shoemakers. The
family comprises Mr.. and Mrs. Ogles |
and four children who are left. The
childl ems names are Lois, Anna,
Thomas, Clifford. 1t is said that |
Mailing called to Thomas when he
dropped from the wagon.
The deceased was four years of 7
age.
Services were held Tuesday after
noon at the First Christian Church,
Pastor Baker in charge. The little
roy was a member of thee Sunday
chool and his classmates partici-
,ated in some songs. The remains
we're taken to East View for burial.
