POINTS OF the compass 1t was an
iueal day for motoring, and all those
owning cars were taking advantage
OF the pleasant weather.
Those who 60 to the coast return
nome stronger in their patriotism and
Americanism than before they went

rampant.
A thrill OF keen sorrow passed
through the town Sunday afternoon
when the flag on the municipal flag
pole was raised to half mast upon the

or the sign of mourning soon spread
among the population.
Some idea can be formed of he
changes in the population by looking
over the old registration books. There
are more names crossed off In red Ink
than names of voters remaining in
the precincts. 1t will be a mighty
small vote that the precincts Of Oro-
Vile will cast September 10.
