 Auto Leaves Road.
 The residents of Galpin's Hill were awakened about 2 o'clock this morn ing by an automobile which jumped the road in front of Henry Deming's resid 3nce and turned into his yard The machine driver evidently did not know the road as he ran over several tree stumps which must have shook him up pretty we'll if it did not injure him. Before any of the neighbors could get to the scene, the driver made a quick getaway. Beyond the loss of sleep to a few of the unfor- tunates and the tearing up of the lawn, ID material damage was done. Town Gathering Thursday Evening"
 Everything is in readiness for the town gathering at the town hall Thursday evening when the welcome home celebration for the service men man, woman and child in the entire town who has ideas on a welcome celebration for the boys is requested to be present at the meeting
 Out to the fact that the mem orial celebration will not be held until next Memorial day, some sort of a Welcom- ing for the service men before that time is desired and it is for this purpose that the meeting is held. By next year a number of the men may be scattered all over the country and they will of course be absent from the mem orial celebration. In order that every boy may feel that the town really appreciates what he has done,
