While hauling hay for Paul Webb on Thursday last, Reub Gaunt met with alivly experi ence. He was coming down the Curtis hill with a big load of bundle hay when a portion of the harness gave way, letting the wagon run onto the horses. This started the team to running straight for a three wire fence and it took some good work on Reubs part to make a turn on the side hill and keep the team out of the fence, but he succeeded in doing it. In order to get out of the fracas himself he had to make a jump from the load and this give him a badly sprained ankle. He was uninjured other wise, and thinks it a bum team that couldent out-run a wagon. School Notes. By Bu.it. Notson. The eighth grade examination will be held Sept. 5 and 6. Pu pils who expect to take this ex amination should notify the Sup erintendent if they have not al ready done so. Teachers and school officers should remember that all certifi cates, must be registered each year.- Teachers are required to complete the reading circle work as a condition of having their certificates registered. While this is an unusually busy season, school boards should not neglect to see that the school house is in good condition before the opening of school. The floors .should be scrubbed, ' the windows washed, the shades put in wnrlfinc order, a closed iar or tank or filter provided for the watpr the. nunils SUDDlied with individual drinking cups or re quired to furnish themselves with such cuds, a suddIv of cray- nn nnd erasers on hand, and the outbuildings should be put in sanitary condition, ihese may seem like trifles, but it pays to have everything ready and in erood condition at the opening of school. The State Board of Health will be more insistent this year than last in regard to the individual drinkincr cuds, and in order to fully meet the require ments a closed water jar or tame should be provided, and this should have a faucet through which the water may be drawn. Attention to the window-boards should be given also, and the windows should be fixed SO thev may be raised and lowered easily for ventilation. 0 n yv TT uur rNew 300 0 Fall Goods Are in and opened up for inspection.

Her parents mov ing to Indiana some years later. August 2, 1804, she was married to George G. Kile. To this union were born two sons, both of whom died in infancy. Losing her husband Sept 15, 1867, she was again married Dec. 27, 1809, this time to Jas. S. Holt. Two sons gladdened this union, Geo. S. and I. E. About 40 years ago they moved to Iowa, and 15 years later to Astoria, Ore. and from thence to Newberg. Oregon, and about a year ago they came, with their son I. E., (with whom they had lived for several years), to cast their lot with the good people of Morgan. Shortly after their arrival there, her husband was taken from her. The grief and the lonesomeness, added to her years of affliction, caused her to give up and wish for an early transport to Heaven. She died Aug. 15, 1912 being in her 74th Mr. and Mrs. Ben Buschke were visitors in Heppner on Tues day. Mr. Buschke has been busy with his combine ever since the 10th of July. He had in 2000 acres of grain this year, about two-thirds of which was hit by the big hail storm and cut his yield considerably. He is mak ing an average of 14 bushels to the acre but should have had at least 18 bushels. Thomson Bros. 3QC 0 3CDQ Jake Young finished threshing on his farm the past week the 80 acres struck earlier in the season by the hail. It had been stated that the grain was pretty badly damaged perhaps 25 per cent, but since threshing it is found that the damage was very much more and will be 75 per cent, at least. Other farmers in that section and elsewhere have doubt less suffered in like proportion. Judge Parker and sheriff Mon tague, of Condon, visited Hepp ner on Saturday in the interest of the Tri-County Fair to be held at Condon this Fall. These gen tlemen were enthusiastic in be half of the fair and are very anx ious that Heppner and Morrow county shall be well represented i there. The fair comes to Mor row county next year, if we de sire it, and our citizens should certainly get busy and prepare a fine exhibit for the Condon fair.
