ROCKSPRINGS. TEXAS. FRIDAY DECEMBER «nd, 1931
NUMBER
jack Balentine experienced quite a
• painful accident when a large marble
slab frit oil hi.- foot while' in tW*jpp
National flank building Tuesday af-
ternoon. l.adly lacerating and tearing
the fk*E amt i.*it from the great toe
of h:s left foot, also causing injuries
to the second KiSd third toes, the nail
having t.'. he taken from the third
toe. ■{ ftj.-:.
The wound was dressed at the of-
fice of Dr. Welch, where five atitches
were taken to close the woundfili the
great toe. and other stitches wfrre nefc-
issarj- to hold the lacerated flesh to
the other portion of hi* foot.
The slab that fell on Mr. Balentine
was quite thick and weighed possibly
around 200 pounds, being used as" aj
top rail around the office uoW occu-
pied by Neville Smart, who is operat-
ing au abstract office in the First
National Bank building.
It seems Mr. Balentine was sitting
on top of the rail, and in getting down,
he in sonic mapper loosened one sec-
tion. He felt the large slab slipping,
and turned around in an attempt to
catch the slab, when he found it too
heavy to hold, and it slid off, catching
the end of his toes.
Had the slab struck the foot higher
up, no question but that it would have
mashed Mr, Baledtine's foot quite
severely, and possibly broke the bones'
in that 'member. As it is, he will be laid
tip for several weeks bn account of
t!tc injuries .received Tuesday.

Wishing You A Merry Christmas

Sonora Road is
Being Improved
Commissioner Balentine has a force
ot twenty men working at what i»
known as the Wheat Lane on the
. Ruck springs-Sonora road, and parties
passing over this road state that Mr.
Balentine will, within a very short
while, have a most excellent road from
this city to Sonora.
This end of the road is in good
shape. >md with the money coming to
Mr. Balentine from the Federal gov-
ernment on this project, we arc sure
he will have the bad stretch near the
Sutton county line put in most excel-
lent condition. >
Now that we have a chance for a
first-class highway from here to So-
nora, over an approved location, there
is a good chance for upwards of
000 to be spent by the state and fed-
eral governments on the new road,
which naturally will bring much mon-
to the county, not saying any-
thing a I h i uti n c r casi n g I'AIIll v'duations,
wc should join whole-heart with
the commissioners in their efd>rt to
1 secure these roads througho it the
Icounty, and have the state to take ov-
er as many of our project* as yosssi-
ble. »
Mr. Balentine tells us that :ie ex-
pect- to secure an appropriati >n for
the Rocksprings end of the Rock-
springs-Brackettville road, and hopes
to put this road in good shate ius*
as soon as the project is approve 1, thus
joining Commissioner McNealy in his
road-building project, makin)! the
road from this city to Brackett ville a
verv attractive one for those wishing
to travel to the southwest fro ti this

As the Christmas season approach-
