Brook Reporter: Jack Esson has been very low for the past ten days and during the past few days has been alarmingly ill at times. Saturday a Chicago specialist was called into consultation and he pronounced it a case of liver disorder. It is to be hoped that he will soon be able to be around. Mrs. Victoria Wood, who has been living with her daughter, Mrs. Florence Greenwait, at Taylorville, 111., was brought here last week and is now at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elmer Gwin. She was accompanied here by Mrs. Greenwait and little son, who is remaining here for awhile. Mrs. Wood is quite poorly. There was another drowning at the Kankakee near Water Valley Sunday night, the victim being John Roberts of Chicago, a young man some 20 years of age. Roberts was with a companion in a boat when, without any known cause, he fell overboard when passing under a bridge and sank from sight. The body was not recovered until 10 o’clock Monday. Ernest Mellender, son of John Mellender, of near Newland, was kicked by a horse Tuesday evening and his skull so badly fractured that it is doubtful if he recovers. Quite a large section of the skull was removed where the fracture was, over the right eye. He was driving the horses from the pasture and slapped one of them on the hip when it let fly with its feet and knocked him down. Down at Anderson, this year, the fair association decided to return to the old time features of a country fair, und booze, gambling and all immoral amusements were eliminated. The fair was not only a success, in fact the most successful in its history, and the association is able to pay all premiums and purses in full and have enough left to pay the stockholders a dividend of from 6 to 10 per cent. The erroneous idea that a country fair could not be run without gambling and all other questianable and demoralizing-amuse-ments has done more to kill off the old time country fair than any other agency.
