FORD MAKES NEW
DRIVING RECORD
Started Itself and Mule and Ran Two
Blocks Down the Street Without
a Mishap.

The Ford automobile has won quite
q reputation for the things it can and
cannot do and the claim that it is
the "Universal Car" is substantiated
so far as jokes are concerned. There
are probably more jokes pulled at the
expense of the Ford than any other
one thing.
A car of that make pulled something
in Greenwood this morning that is
even new to a Ford. Mr.. Tom Will
liams drove his car up in front OF
Fire Department No. 2, in East Green
wood, and got out. He left the engine
running.
After standing there few minutes
alone the car started up the street to-
ward the Y. & M. v. depot, violating
all laws goevrning traffic and nature.
It's rate Of speed was about seven or
eight miles an hour, the machine evil
IDENTIFY being in no hurry to make 1t
to the train. After covering about q
block it hooked into the back end OF
a buggy to which country mule was
attached. Not being used to such push
ing from behind the mule decided that
he was needed at home and home he
went.
The Ford continued its journey up
tn estreet, successfully climbed the
grade at the railroad crossing, nego-
tiated the tracks without trouble and
came to stop against the corner OF
the depot, having made the journey OF
two blocks without a mishap except
| for the mule.
The machine was damaged very lit.
tie by the performance. The buggy
| to which the mule was harnessed was
rather badly treated but the majority
| Of the damage was done by the mule
| and not by the Ford.

BONE DRY TAKES
EFFECT TONIGHT
When the Clock Strikes Midnight the
Bone. .Dry-Lament" Will be Heard
in the Land.

All of those who got their quarts
started toward Greenwood from the
various shipping points outside the
state by Thursday will please step
forward today and get them from the
express Office. If they are not gotten
out by five o'clock this afternoon it
will be useless to go after them be-
cause they will be on their way back
to the fellow who shipped them.
This is the last day Of the quart
law. The "Bone- DRY" act takes effect
at midnight tonight. 1t really takes
effect at five o'clock this afternoon
when the express Office closes the
doors.
Quart supplies are being gotten by
many today. The express companies
have done Christmas time business
during the last two weeks and today
especially they were rushed to care
for the business.
After today the "bone-dry-lament"
will be heard throughout the land and
there probably will be weeping and
nashing Of teeth on the part OF those
whose beverage has been thus ruth
lessly denied them.
