The traffic ordinance went into eff
feet last Friday and seem to give
satisfaction. The police have had to
educate many drivers into the proper
procedure but almost all took it good
naturedly. There was an amusing
incident Saturday afternoon when
Bexley Hocomb drove through town
with his drag and four. While Dn
Park place he motiDned for his foot
man to sound the coach horn and
then, after a musical blast that at
tracted the attention of everyone near,
he cut across a corner in violation of
the rules. R0undsman Jennings saw
the manouevre, held-up the turnout
and told Mr. Hocomb he would have
to go back and try it overaga1n. Mr..
Hocomb took his "call down. good
humorediy and executed some fancy
driving stunts before leaving the

there were fears for her life.
Her restoration to health has been

forego fashionable autumn wedding
and have simple ceremony perform
ed. Members of both families came
to the city from their summer homes
and left Immediately after the cere-
mony. There were no other guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. Low started on their
honeymoon by automobile. They will
