Be Careful of the Autos.

An auto driver Of Leon requests
us to say something in regard to
the way in Which some people take
their life in their hand by trying
to cross ahead of an auto instead of
stopping and waiting for it to pass.
Some people will deliberately walk
across a street in the fact of an
approaching auto, expecting the auto
to stop if they fail to get out of the
way, and often the auto cannot be
stopped in such a short space, while
in other instances it is necessary to
kill the engine Pedestrians should
be careful about this danger as we'll
as auto drivers. The average driver
does not want to have an accident of
any kind, and endeavors ito drive
his car in prudent manner. Do
your part and remember that it is
a great deal safer to stop and wait
for the auto to pass than to walk in
front of it, expecting the driver to
stop his car for you
Another thing we desire to call
attention to is the fact that some
auto drivers and many drivers of
teams pay no attention whatever to
driving on the right hand side of the
street, as they are required to do by
law. With autos increasing rapidly
several accidents have been narrow
ly averted recently, and everybody
should do their part and drive autos
and teams on the right hand side of
the street at all times, and especially
in turning corners.
