COMPLAINTS ABOUT
EXPRESSMEN' S TEAMS
Merchants Say They Divert Trade by
Standing in Front of Stores-Ob-
struction to Traffic.

During the past few days com

Il head n matter which has been allow
ed ia 90 ia a haphazard way for many
years without being arranged on a
systematic basis. It has been the Gus
tom OF local express and hacllmen
when out Of work TO take a stand with
their teams on Main street looking for
another job. Often these teams are
together, either behind each other or
abreast, ON Main street, thus greatly
impeding and obstructing traffic on ac-
count Of the car line being in the cen
Ter Of the street and the large number
of automobiles and other vehicles that
may be left on the street for Il few
minutes.
Not only DO these teams greatly on
struct traffic, but they obstruct tea 1t
and automobiles who wish to drive up
10 the stores in front of which they
stand. Many Of the merchants who
have been annoyed by these teams can

Hicks, Story.

tt was in 1917 that Hicks first made
a county name rs Il witty racontcur.
In that year Sir Samuel Spy, who had
been member for Bo1min since tho
great reform bin, lost his seat and in
q petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to in
tiuence voters at the poll. In the
course of the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had TO say I'm
his defense. In the course of his state
ment he asked leave of the court to
illustrate his position by story. His
request being assented to, he related
how few days previously he had
been to see q lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from a fan from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out
all his front teeth The lad, said
Hicks. had taken the matter in the
most kindly way ana had said 10 him,
"'Tisn't the fan Mr.. Hicks, and 'tisn't
the valley of the teeth what annoys
me, but tits the nashtg. Ghastly, wish,

Sir Samuel Sprg sprang up in the
we'll OF the court in fury aud eX-
claimed He has called me q jack

| laughter and Hicks was promptly and
| f1ny acquitted of the trumpery charge
| brought against him.-CornhiIl Maya,
