credit for bringing this school
up to such a high state of eff
cheney. 1t will be remembered
that this school won the loving
cup" at the former term, and it

mention were Miss Olga Naeger

voice, two solos; also Miss Alice

Two serious accidents in which au-
tos were badly damaged and in which
it seems a miracle some one was not
badly hurt or killed have occurred
within the past two months at the
bridge across Lumber river at the
Kingsdale mill, Creek road. Some
sort of danger sign ought to be plac-
ed on the other side of the river from
town on the approach to the bridge.
A sharp turn is made at that point
and as the road is good it takes those
unacquainted with the road unawares'
Some auto driver is liable to drive
into the river at this point some night
if he misses the fate Of those who
have driven against the end Of the
bridge and smashed their machines.
