BELLEVIEW'S BUDGET

burner to a little red wagon on the |
roads in and around Belleview, and |
to adjacent towns, and it is aggra- |
yating to meet an automobile or one
of those little Ingersoll joy wagons
and give him half the road and then
have the opposing driver try to
crowd you out of the other half of
the road. Sometimes these fiends In
human form will keep the center of
the road right up to within fifty or
sixty feet at high rate of speed and
then suddenly swerve to one side and
pass you, leading one 70 believe THAI
they are going to run YOU down,
thereby tending 70 frighten nervous
drivers. Now | contend that an au-
|tomobile is entitled to half the road
and the driver of the horse drawn
vehicle is entitled TO his half of the
road. Not long since, one of these
|senseless Idiots came bearing down
upon me at a good twenty-mile clip

swipe me, that If 1t In within my
power. and l am able to, will make
