What might have been a serious
accident, caused by careless driving,
occurred on the Depot road Tuesday
afternoon. A couple of teamsters
v ere racing. One had g pair horses,
and the other four horses, hitched to
lumber sleds. The driver of the single
pair was in the lead. Just ahead of
Them was Geo. Bundy of Garfield in a
light sleigh. All were going down the
hull. The driver of the single pair
drew out of the road, but the man
with the four horses kept right
along at a rapid gait. The horses
and the forward part OF the sleds
passed BuDdy, but the rear sleGs
slowed and struck the sleigh, throw
ing Buddy into the air and knocking
several posts out OF the sleigh. For
tuateIy nobody was seriously hurt.
All the same 1t was very careless
piece OF business.

CoDg'l SunCay school OF this place

ate to the occasion consisted of
Carols, a0themns songs and recita-
tions, concluding with the charming
Cantata In Search OF the King" all
Of which we're very lice and we'll
rendered. Several of the little .olks
made their maiden" appearance in
reci' ations and were heartily ap-
pIauded. The committee having the
II tir in charge had been untiring in
their Efforts and it's success must GER
tainly be source of qualification to
them and the superintendent. Among
the gifts was an envelope well filed
with cash, gift to pastor Hamlin
from his friends here, of whom he has
many.
