Sunday, it can be said, was the
formal opening of the automobile
season. Two or three days previous
to Sunday some of the earliest en-
thusiasts were out and had to splash
through the mud occasionally to go
any great distance around town. By
Sunday, however, the roads had dried
to a marked extent in all parts of
the city, and the autoists were out in
full force all day long. There is going
to be quite an increase in the number
of cars in this city this spring. With
the additional number of autoists
there ought to be quite a movement
started again this spring looking to
the improvement of the roads leading
into Mitchell. There still seems to
be plenty room for improvement
along this line.
