 hope that you will correct your statement regarding my auto turnout on Sunday. There were at the time just six precious souls in the car, counting great and small, and your humble servant, although this car has carried fifteen people at one time. Little Elsie at this time was on the rear seat and Jehovah was driving while he was redeeming our life from dis truction, and his driving is infinitely inferior to the driving of King Jehu. This is the first time in more than four years that anyone, to my know ledge, has been bruised from riding in my auto. l.. w. JACOBS.
