The Journal Is pleased to state
that the report circulated In town OF
Tuesday last to the effect that
Frederick Crane OF West Acres"
was dead IN New York city. whittier
he went on Monday, was false. In
some unaccountable manner the an-
nouncement OF Mr.. Cranes cousin
Edwards death became confused.
and 1t was thought that 1t was Fred
erick who had died. This paper con
graduates Mr. Crane that he is still
alive and extends its sympathy TO
him on the death OF his cousin.
"A portion Of Main st. has been
oiled and will be OF great benefit to
the residents on that part of the
street. 1t extends from Deacon Rol-
lin Sykes south to the south line
OF c. A. Wade's place. distance of
$40 yards. That il does the work
was proved last Sunday afternoon
which was a dry dusty day. Sitting
on the Inn porch and looking down
the street the road could be seen as
far south as Elm 81. An auto
would come flying north followed byI
n cloud of dust, but the minute II
reached the oiled road the dust was
no more, and the machine passed
on without raising cloud TO settle
on everything near and far after the
car had passed. We feel certain
that the people at the south end OF
Main St, and on Church ST., will re-
gret before the summer has passed |
that they did not have their roads |
oiled also. Perhaps another year
they will be convinced and take hold
with the pioneers and have all the
roads OF the village made dust
proof.
