Young Lady Breaks Arm By Fall at Skating Rink.

Miss Olive Pollard,, daughter of Frank Pollard, south of town, fell while skating at the rink Wednesday evening and fractured both bones ol the right arm near the wrist, a Colles fracture. The Satndard Bearers of the Meth'odist church will meet with Miss Helen Parkinson Saturday evening at 7 o’clock. All members are urged to be present. The roads of the county are in a very miserable condition and in many places the stone and gravel roads are cut through and every place there seems to be deep ruts. Heavy hauling and automobie'ls are largely •responsible for the condition. The i heavy hauling law is not enforced as it should be and there is a shameful of it by many farmers. In ■other places officers have arrested violators and the effect has been the breaking up of the practice. Many automobiles have been stuck in the roads and a big touring car was stuck Wednesday afternoon near the C. F. Stackhouse farm, north of town.
