Though our streets having been
full of moving automobiles and
the sidewalks crowded every day
during Christmas week, not a
single accident has happened.
This is due to the vigilance Of our
worthy city marshal. Mr.. Philip

faithful watch on the crowd d
street crossing At the intersection
Ct Main aud Willow streets every
day, thereby allowing nothing to
happen that would have marred
the Joyous festival.
