J. E. Hair, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, a
famous dog expert, was pinned against
the wall of his garage by an automobile

DR.. H. B. Johnston has rented the
COIN place on East College street and
will move his family there at once.
Mr.. N. |. Landlord has rented the dis
trict parsonage and will occupy it
when DR.. Johnston moves out. DR..
Johnston, has made this change for
the convenience of his wife and daugh-
ter, who were unprotected at the par
sonage during his often enforced alb
sence from home. The Cohn place be-
ing in more thickly settled section
and closer to town removes the objec-
ton mentioned above.
The burning of grass and leaves in
back yards has caused the turning in

easily be avoided by proper attention
to such rubbish on the part of our
citizens. Keep your yards clear Of
/. such trash and danger from fire will
be greatly lessened at this time Of the
year.
