SPEAKING OF SCORES

It's only natural that we judge a
football game by he score. But it
isn't always fair criterion by which
the game-the way it's played
should be measured. Coulee City
should be mighty proud of it's school
team.
When the boys played at Mason
City last Friday night, they lost by
a score of "a to 0. Remarks from va
rious official sources were overheard
end they warmed our hearts, because
we hated to see the boys lose when
they fought so hard. Among the re-
marks were:
"They played a better game than
the score showed" every fellow
was a good sport" "It is the best
coached siX-man team | ever watched
"They lost because of bad breaks, but
there wasn't a fellow who grabbed
about it,"
The Coulee City team deserves to
win this Friday!

A PIONEER PASSES


With the passing of one of
Licking county's oldest residents,
Mr.. Burr d. Jackson, after a few
days illness in his farm home
near Johnstown last week, the
community loses a staunch DEM
ocrat, and friend, who had been
in their midst for over 80 years.
He was 80 years and six months
of age.
His public service began with
repeated terms of winter school
in Milford township, Knox
county, Ohio, when very young,
and at the period when only
three months was a years term.
The time when organized SPELL
ing matches and debating groups
gave zest to the long winter eve
nings, and singing schools were
a social event not to be de-
spised.
Mr.. Jackson was a keen read
er of world news and read with
out the aid of glasses. He fol-
lowed the sport of baseball in
early days, and keenly remem-
bered the happenings of baseball
tournaments held in the counties
of Licking, Knox, Delaware and
Coshocton, always relating that
the Lock Knox county team
brought home the silver trophy.
His early association with the
Hartford fair board as member,
which connection continued for
so years, dates back to 1890,
and through the influence of his
activity this organization is now
one of the few county fairs still
operating.
When the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jackson came from Lock,
Ohio, to the Samuel Pyle farm
home near Johnstown in 1883,
they became active in church,
school and civic life. Mrs. jack
son filled responsible offices in
the church life and the children
attending school where later,
two of the daughters, Mrs.
Myrtle Barrick, now of New
ark, and Mrs. Jennie Wyeth of
the Johnstown community, both
taught school until their mar
riage; and a third daughter, Mrs.
Emma Quinn followed the nll1's-
ing profession, which took her
to Columbus, O., Los Angeles,
Calf, and Miami, Fla, where
during the World war she nurs-
ed through the first flu epidemic.
The only son, James Warren
Jackson has for many years
been a railway mail clerk, en-
ployed by the government, work
ing by way of Baltimore & Ohio
lines. He is now chief clerk in
charge and lives in Rugg ave-
nue., Newark, Ohio.
