The town once went to the expense
of putting up iron posts on the busi-
ness corners, reading "Drive to the
right" but in a few days they were
all gone except one. People drove
over them and broke them down, paw
ing no attention to the order. Now
this is a good law, and it should be
enforced. The sign left standing is
at the intersection of Brooks and
Boyce, streets, and a part of that is
gone, but in lieu Of the sign we see a
dirty, smoked up lantern sitting on
the post. We do not know what this
please" We hope council will look
into this matter and force everybody
to drive to the right, as is done in
every town and city.

TO go with him up to his church, and
there performed the ceremony that
sent the happy young couple on their
way rejoicing.
