Tuesday night. while at the station
waiting for the up sleeper, one Of w.
~ Crawtords teams, becoming ner-
yous, started off by themselves and
took the road for home. They arrived
on trOt and turned IN at the corner
Of Gone q Swift's store, whore they

Sunday afternoon between five and
six O'Clock there was very close call
TO serious automobile accident. On
the main street, opposite "Brookside,"
two machines were seen coming up the I
hill from the Center, with the larger
one of the two endeavoring TO pass the
smaller one. In turning TO the left, to /
pass, the large one ran too far out, and,
striking the gutter, was nearly thrown
over. The driver, turning the machine
suddenly, came out of the gutter and
almost collided with the smaller ear as
he crossed in ahead There was no
racing but only "A foolhardy attempt to
go by and narrowly avorted accident.
The drivers of cars should remember
that while our roads are in good con
diton they are not bouleyards, and !
such feats cannot be undertaken with
out dire results. g
