 To those reckless automobilists of Newport, who are taking advantage of these nice Sundays and are driving their cars along our highways at break-neck speed, we dedicate these few lines We country people who are unfortunately not owners of cars must enjoy ours Ives by taking our Sunday afternoon spins in our buggles drawn by our faithful family horse, but even then we must be on the con- stant lookout to keep from being run down by some reckless motorist, who knows just as much about driving an automobile as they do a Wright Bi- plane. There is law against reck- less driving and it must be enforc- ed, before some accident occurs.

 While Jackson county is on the dry list at present we recall the fol- lowing news item, where a Georgia man expressed his opinion when his town voted for saloons, "If we are go- ing to stand for our women folks to wear shadow and slit skirts and tight form fitting dresses and vulgar hob- ble skirts, and our young women learning to dance the boil weevil wig gle, Texas Tommy Tango, the bunny hug, the bean dance, calf canter, the buzzard flop, and so on down the line, the men folks had just as welt have 1T spioons and the whole push go to hell together"
 Dorse Wilmans is getting to be quite a driver and he is out with his new Ford car almost every day. He says there is good many things to learn about a car before one can be- come qualified. On one occasion his car baked and after several attempts to get it started by cranking it, about five hundred times, he then, after a very close investigation, discovered that there was no gasoline in the tank. But we will wager our last dollar that he will make good alright.
