FOR JULY FOURTH

Owners of automobiles must keep
off Main street after 8 O'Clock tomor-

left for the parade and remove all
cause for anxiety for the Riddles. who
will overrun everything. Autos may
be parked single file, lengthwise, close
to the curb after the parade and
during the exercises, but they must
remain in their place until after the
close of the musical features at the
grand stand at Brougher avenue and
Main street. For the rest of the day
and evening drivers of autos are
urged to, as far as possible, refrain
from travelling on Main street, as that
will be the public playground and the
committees wish to avoid every
chance of danger.
