A car load of tar has been spilled
over town and more than one person
is having his troubles. On Thursday
evening near the intersection of
eighth and ash streets an automobile

on the chains. While wading in the
tar his language was about as black

over the liquid This would prevent
the dogs, children, men and women
from feeling miserable and keep auto
mobile drivers in good humor.
