Fast driving is too frequent in Mari
eta around the square and street cross
ings. 1t is we'll enough for local drays,
buggieS and carriages, to drive at a
good speed on the streets after thew
leave the square, but this dashing
around street corners is dangerous to
pedestrians. A little school girl WAS
knocked down by delivery wagon at
the crossing between the postoftice and
McClure's store last week. She was
hurt to some extent and it might have
been more serious. Don't cross streets,
sidewalks. ard turn corners at A raoid
speed. Have your team under control
at slow gait and you will not cause
trouble.
