Our opinion is that detective
or officer should be placed in this town
to watch the numbers of automobiles
that go flying through here. Many
have no license number at all, while
others exceed the speed limit by Is to
20 miles per hour. This should be
taken in hand as it is dangerous to
pedestrians who cross the streets.

living on the DR.. Porch farm, just
south of here, was instantly killed
when he attempted to cross the tracks
with load of tomatoes.
