clusively for their machines. These
roads should be run parallel with the
public highways, and there should be at
least four rods Of space between the
nearest limits of the public roads and
those for automobiles.
i" In passing buildings of any kind the
automobiles should be compelled to
pass on the opposite side of the main
road from that upon which the buildings
are located. They should be compelled
70 buy the land from the owners and
pay such prices as a board of fair minded
intelligent men, in each county, who are
good judges of real estate should decide
upon. Those for whom these roads are
set apart should also pay for building
them and keel ing them in repairs. They
sh ould have the right to cross the high
ways as often as necessary in order to
avoid going i'll front of residences, but
should be compelled to loot their horns
and come to full stop at a point not
less than four rods from the nearest limit
of the highway, and when crossing the
highway should not be permitted to
drive their machines at a higher rate of
speed than four miles an hour. Make it
misdemeanor with heavy penalty at
tached for not complying with such a
condition.
If a law similar in character to that
suggested above is impracticable, then
pass a local option law, and let the ma
jority of the voters of each city or town
decide at every election of city or town
officers, whether or not automobiles shall
be allowed on the pnblic roads of their
city or town. 1t is but just that the men
who are taxed for the uilding and keep
ing in repair the public roads should have
voice in the matter. If a majority of
the voters are willing to take the chances
/ of being killed or having their wives and
children slaughtered, then let the de-
structive machines have the right of way
under reasonable restrictions as to speed,
etc.
"Those who are interested in this mat.
ter should petition their members of the
legislatures, when they next meet, to take
action in the matter. Something should
be done to abs tie or mitigate the intoler-
able automobile nuisance in the country
so as to reduce to the lowest possible
limit the destruction of human lives and
property that is annually caused by the
running of automobiles upon public
roads in the country, and public streets
of cities"

Results of the Foot Ball Games. Per-
sonal Notes.
The foot ball team went Friday, Oct.
6, to Vergennes to play it's first game
with Vergennes High school, which re-
suited in victory for Middlebury by a
score of 10 to 0. This was very unusual
because for at least five years the local
High school has been unable to win in
Vergennes.
The game opened with Vergennes re-
ceiving the ball advancing it about five
yards when they were held for downs.
Middlebury by consecutive and powerful
line bucking reached the 10 yard line
and trick netted about Z yards and
Fisher pushed it over for touchdown
and the goal was kicked. Then Yer
gennes received the ball and advanced it
on an end run about 10 yards where it
was held for downs and Middlebury was
rushing the ball for their second touch
down when time was called
Second half opened with Vergennes
kicking to Middlebury. They rushed the
bali to the center of the field and lost il
on a tumble and Vergennes succeeded
in holding it for three downs and
they were held for downs. Middlebury
by successful line plunging pushed the
ball over for the second touchdown
vergennes again received the ball and
advanced it about 90 yards and was held
for downs when Middlebury took it and
were well under way when time was
called. Score IL to 0.
The first home game of the season was
played here on Saturday with Winoosk
High, and resulted in victory for the
home team by score of II to 0.

Our selectmen should at once post the
main road leading from Middlebury to
East Middlebury against its use by auto
mobiles; or else against its use by horse
carriages as at number of points and
for quite considerable distance, it is
altogether too narrow for these two
different kinds of vehicles to pass in
safety. This is especially true where the
road has been recently piked, and also
upon the stone road between Willis
Cady's and the Beaver brook. And at
any moment the most serious accident
time certainly will occur if used by both
horse and steam carriages.

occasion Wednesday evening, when Mrs.
Hooker's sister, Miss Louella E. Rock

united in marriage by the Rev. w. H.
Washburne, pastor of the NJ +. Church.
Promptly at eight o'clock Miss Renia
Hooker and Mary lockwood, nieces of
the bride. made an aisle for the bridal
party by bringing a garland of running
pine to the parlor door. They were inn
mediately followed by the bride, gowned
in gray nuns yelling, the groom, the
maid of honor, Miss Maude Rivers of
Salisbury and the best man, Gideon
Norton, a brother of the groom. Miss
Grace Foote presided at the organ.
After the ceremony dainty refresh
ments were served by the Misses Lula
Woods, Lucy Palmer, Carrie Damon aDd
Lila Downs, friends of the bride. Mr..
and Mrs. Norton were the recipients of
many valuable and useful presents,
among them being a solid silver tea SER
vice and a half-dozen teaspoons from the
Epworth league, of which the bride is a
vice-president.
About half-past nine Mr. and Mrs.

home" in Weybridge after Nov. /.
