Wreckless Driving of Automobiles on
the Roads.-"Country Walker" writes as
follows on this subject: Wishing to bring
before the notice of the public the accidents
which will most certainly happen through the
unskillful, or more probably reckless, way of
people steering automobiles, l wish to relate
an incident which happened to notice while
walking along Charles street avenue extended
on Sunday afternoon:
Two young gentlemen and young lady
were walking on the righthand side of the
aforementioned avenue when an automobile,
steered by two young gentlemen (if such they
may be called, heading in the same direction
as the walking party and going at high rate
of speed, abruptly slackened within about 10
feet of them, and then proceeded slowly with.
out giving any evidence of its approach, and
would have run into the walking party and
probably killed or at least severely injured
them but for the timely turning about of one
of its members, who pulled them all to the
side Just in time to prevent this accident.
There was plenty of room for this automo
bile to have taken another course, but 1t seems
as though its occupants perferred this one,
which, although doing no serious harm besides
frightening the lady badly, might have done SO.
II hope that this article will have the de-
sired effect of inducing people to watch while
walking, so as not to be run into by unskllled
or rowdyish drivers of automobiles"

Necker, 18th Observation-Disclosures in this
section are hustling to get things in shape for
the cold weather that appears to have jumped
on us suddenly. Celery and other vegetables
that remain in the fields have been secured
against the rigors of the severe weather. There
is still a great deal of corn remaining unhusked
in the fields.
One of the most successful missions ever held
at st Joseph's Church, Putty Hill closed on
Sunday evening last. 1t continued two weeks
under the direction of Rev. Fathers Christie
pher and Norwood, who preached eloquent
and able sermons and labored earnestly III the
good work. The members were prompt in
their attendance and were congratulated by
the priests in charge. The Papal benediction
was given at the close of the services.
Forty hours devotion will begin at the above
church next Sunday evening. Rev. Father
Danner will preach the sermon. The pastor,

imal near Turnip HILL In color it was white,

and nose like that of squirrel. 1t weighed
about Is pounds. Nothing like it was ever
seen here before.
Mr.. Lewis Wirsing lately caught coon
that weighed 25 pounds. He tracked it to
hollow log and after good deal of man@u-
Eering, managed to secure the prize.
We hear more talk about the United Rail-
ways Company extending its trolley line from
the present terminus, south of Fullerton, to
Germantown. People generally express sur
prise that this was not done long age. The
growth of population along the Belair road is
Something marvellous and this should be all
the incentive needed for the company to push
this work through. s.

Rayville. 9th District-Ac cold wave struck
us Monday night and caused rs to shiver worse
than did the election returns on the night OF
the 9TH inst. Our farmers, who have not as
yet got their corn housed, are getting hustle
on and their movements are little brisker
than heretofore; but, probably, after the New
York political tangle is Strengthened out our
weather clerk may see fit to be a little more
lenient than at present and thus give us
chance to shape up our fall work.
On account of the abundance of fruit and
the scarcity of hired help there still remains
many apples that have not been gathered.
Apple juice will certainly be plentiful this
winter, as nearly every cellar contains one or
more barrels of this beverage.
The recent establishment of a telephone line
through this section has greatly increased
business, especially for the company, and our
rural free delivery carriers say it is materially
operating against the Postoffice Department.
This proves that Uucle Sam is a little too slow
for this progressive section. But. ere another
decade we may see developments that will lay
this latest of methods of communication in the
shade.
