favor, of Col. Robert Mccoy for gov

We have noticed several narrow es-
capes at the intersection of State and
North Main Streets. The street car
stops almost on the crossing and peo-

an automobile is coming down North
Main they are liable to be caught, es-

a fair rate of speed Several chill
dren have had very close calls at this
point during the past few weeks It
is best to be very careful here and look
up the street before crossing.

stored in the plant and all is total
