DIR. w. II. Pennington "trotted"
out new touring automobile last
Friday and whenever he stopped
anywhere on the square to give
the critter a rest and chance to
breathe was quickly surrouned
by a curious crowd anxious to
see it if any bucking was on the
program. This is the third one
purchased by the doctor and he
thinks he now has one that will
not cut-up scandalous capers in
public-just when he wants it to
act incest.
