Quite a lot of work has been
done on the streets recently. In
some instances. we believe a mis-
take has been made in removing
too much grass from the street

tendency to prevent washing.

in Fletcher & Barger's automobile.

only shifts the high places" The
only objection | have to offer is
the speed-it's a little too much
for such a slow, easy-going in
dividual as the writer.

Mr.. j. w. Coffman, of St. Louis,
who was stricken with paralysis
four or five years ago, came down
this week on a visit to his brother,
Mr.. Frank Coffman. His friends

to see him looking SO we'll and
able to get about with very little
evidence of the paralysis with
which he has been afflicted SO

himself or to walk. He seems to

and he is delighted at being able
to be here and to visit his old
frie ads in and about Pennington.
