There is an tld proverb which ad- vises mankind not to cross their bridg- es until they come to them. We would make slight alteration to this rule for the guidance of all who drive around our village streets and say to them do not turn your corners before you come to them. There is not a cor ner in the borough, unless it is defend ed by curbing or post. that is not being continually encroached upon by teams cutting across them. Come gen. tlemen, our roads are wide enough for your teams, leave the sidewalks to the pedestrians. -Guilford Echo,
 Guilford's lamentation is our own, and we might add, leave the bicycle track to the wheelmen.
