keeping, bees are humming, gardeners
are at work, farmers are blowing and

Mayor GIbSon's instructions that the
town ordinance against street corner Loaf
ing be enforced, and Sergeant Shipley'S
activity in seeing that the law is obeyed,

college campus on Main street have been
made TO move on, and longtime nuts
ance has thus been abated. The whole
community will be grateful to our town
officers for this improvement. Now ii
some method could be invented by which
these idlerS could be made to work, there
would be still further cause for rejoicing.

the storms get too close TO Auburn she is
going to move back East.

teen years ago Rev. Mr.. Kregloe started

vermiformis extirpated. Following his
example, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles {. kreg-
loe each went through a similar operation,
then Miss Jennie Lou Kregloe took her
turn, and now Karl goes through the same
experience. Three generations have thus
parted from their appendices, and Karl
