Why Be on Top When school closes and the report cards are banded out, many girls and boys look at their grades and say, "Well, who cares to be at the head of the class, anyway. 1 am satisfied with my grades even if -they are not high." This is the wrong way of looking at it. You are going to school to learn. Education is needed nowadays if you Intend to succeed later In life. Teachers are paid by the state to see that you grow up to be boys and girls who can read and write, hare a knowledge of your country and of foreign nations, and are able to become good citizens. t If while ybu are In school you say, "I don't care whether I get a good grade," you will say the same . thing later on when you are trying to work your way up in business or fn a profession. Coys and girls who are in the don't-glve-a-care spirit, sometimes stay in it, and as a result, they never succeed. The boy and girl who is on the top in the class room, is the boy and girl who will be on the top later on. You need not be on the top, merely "for tho honor of being there, but you must be on top in order that you may succeed later. The men who are on top now are the boys who were on top years ; Stay Cheerful "That man , Is always smiling." Perhaps you have heard the expression. Did you ever slop to think what It meant. It means that no matter whether this man is fortunate or unfortunate, happy or vexed, he smiles. He does not let misfortune or disappointment make him sad and gloomy. Jt he cannot have his way, he smiles, knowing that some day everything will turn out well. If it appears to him that his opinion is the correct one, he ides not feel peeved because the opinion of someone else is accepted, He smiles through thick and thin, .when it rains and when it shines. He is the kind of man you like to have near you. Idle Days Summer is here and vacation lays offer all sorts of enjoyments.

Boy is Hung . Up on Fence By His Heels Once upon a time when my father went to school ther was a boy in the same class whom the boys were playing tricks on all the time. One day at recess .the boys got mad at the other boy and when the teachers wasn't looking the boys picked him out and hung him head down on the picket fence by his boots, a picket run in each boot. v When the bell rang this boy did not appear. The teacher asked where he was 'but nobody seemed to know. The teacher went out and found him in the fence but she could not find out who did It. I think this was a mean trick, don't you? Z. S. (Hope to see this in print.) Reads the Junior To the Junior Editor: I have been reading the Junior Palladium ever since the first issue and find it a dandy paper. It not only has a great many jokes and stories but also a great many useful hints. Talking of naming the elk of Glen Miller, 1 suggest that you name it Neta, the Indian word for swiftness. The other names suggested are very good. Yours truly, MISS SARAH KELLY. P. S. Or you might call it Junior. S. K. are already nnhRorthr in h Rfoh.

Boy Slips Away to Hunt; Kills Game, Gets New Gun

An old gray haired man visited the editor of the Junior Palladium a few days ago and told him this story. He did not want his name used because he is the little boy In the story, and as he now has greatgrand children, he said he would not want them to find out what he did when he was a young boy in Wayne county and there still was plenty of game. When Fred (this is not his name) was 9 he began to coax his daddy to buy him a gun. Daddy had been a great hunter in his early days, and even had shot buffalo on the prairies of the west before he came to settle in Richmond, which was only a small village of a few houses. When Fred was 9 years old he believed he ought to start out to be as great a hunter as his father was. Often he hunted along the Whitewater river, with only stones and sticks for weapons. He saw squirrels, raccoons and many small wild animals. But of course, he could not kill them without a gun. But daddy was firm. He said little

Harrison township being one of them. It is in the west central part of Wayne county. JackHonburg, being the only village in the township. In the year of 1814, Robert Leavell sold twenty acres from the north west quarter of the south west quarter of section eight of his farm. These twenty acres were made into town lots which now form the village of Jacksonburg. On March 23, 1815, the following spring, Henry Bryon surveyed and hail the land recorded. Jacksonburg is the oldest village in the county except Saulsbury which has been changed to Centerville. In the year of 1836 Jacksonburg was the voting place for Jackson township, and in 1843 Harrison Township was laid out. Then Jacksonburg became the voting place for Harrison Township, which it still retains. The first voting place was at the home of John Williams. In the early days was the center for rades. Amusements were horse racing, Jacksonburg military paof the day shooting at mark, wrestling and sometimes fighting, which was much out. of place. Often times there were large circuses held here. Jacksonburg had its largest population from 1830 to 1840, which was from two hundred and fifty to three hundred. After the plot for Cambridge City was laid out, that stopped the growth of Jacksonburg. In 1850 the population dropped to less than two hundred. In 1870 there were one hundred aud nine people here. In 1880 there were one. hundred and twelve inhabitants. Abraham Elliot was one of the first to settle in Jacksonburg. He kept a tavern in a log house. A tannery was owned by Josiah Bradbury.

He came here in the year of 1817. Fifteen years later he moved to Delaware county. The next was L. P. Pumphrey, who after a few years moved to Henry county.

boys ought help their mothers and not go hunting. So Fred grew to be fourteen years old, and still he had no gun. On Thanksgiving day, he went to visit his aunt who lived near Williamsburg. His uncle was a great hunter and he soon explained to Fred how the old fashioned guns were taken apart, loaded, and fired. Fred could not withstand the temptation. On Friday afternoon when uncle and aunt were busy he took the gun and went into the woods. Every bush and tree seemed to hide an animal. Whisk, went a squirrel or a rabbit. Bang! went the gun and Fred had killed a squirrel. Bang! Bang! Bang! went more Shots. By that time Fred was tired for the old muzzle loader was heavy and kicked when he fired. Fred returned with one racoon, two squirrels and three rabbits. In the meantime his father atid mother had arrived. Every one was surprised when Carl came home dragging the gun and the game. The next Christmas, daddy gave him a brand new flint lock gun and a

powder horn. and Hurst were here in the year of 1841. Stratton and Wright were in partnership from 1843 to 1845. The first church in the township was the Christian church. In 1840 this church was supposed to have been set on fire by an incendiary. In 1841 it was replaced with a brick building. And in 1870 the brick church was remodeled. The brick church was blown down and the one that was built in its place is still in use. The name of the church was changed to the Disciples of Christ or the Christian church. There have been three school houses in Jacksonburg. The first one being a two-story frame building. There were four grades upstairs and down. The second one was a brick building.
