Some of our small boys are III the
habit of gathering at the Junction
of the l. G. r. R. and jackson st.

night, and when it comes along,
they beard it, and ride up to the
depot. This is very dangerous
practice, besides being a great NUS
ance to the train men. The pa
rents Of these boys ought to look
after their children, and stop this
practice befsre some of them are
killed or manned for life.
