The automobile of Charles F. Ward is
expected to arrive, this week, and its
appearance upon our streets as well as
the county roads about here, will present
novel sight. Mr.. Wards carriage is
one of the Stanley make, the highest
quality of any horseless vehicle manu-
featured, and much interest and no little
curiosity from our people awaits its ar
rival. Mr.. Ward expects to be able to
travel at any speed up to 20 miles an
hour, and we have no doubt of his ex-

much of the distance and it seems to be
necessary to have them re-established.
Notice for hearing thereon has been
issued by the commissioners and appears
In the REPORTER, this week. Notice
also appears for a piece of road in May
field.

applause. The choir as we'll as the
soloists, all appeared in costume of eye

O'Clock, again demonstrated to our peo-
pie that no where do you find better
cooks than in the grange.
