AONI lllC FluSc, ldhllS tnt tOilcI near Woodruff's store at top speed. regardless of the fact that there might be q machine coming up tho hill. No lookouts are stationed at dangerous corners and it seems inevitable that accid entS will happen. In Eal Der lin the children arc coastinS down the road leading across the railroad tracks much 10 the annoyance of tue railroad engineers.
 The other day a little boy was coast in6 down the hill at the same mom ent hat the branch train was making the last turn As he ncared the tracks the little fellow heard the approaching triLln, but was going too fast on hlS sled 10 stop so thrust out his foot and brought his sled hroadsidc. He was thrown from his sled and rolled onto the track in front of the approa ching train. He was not nil. however. as John Demore a railroad foreman gave the engineer the stop signal as the train came around the turn. The "ailroad company is warning people to keep tbeir children off the tracks.
 Chilly This Morning.

 Passing of the Bar.
 The post office bar" with it's ac- Coutrements is no longer. 1t has been removed by Postmaster Barrett. The office. since it's installation in the old barroom of FIannerys hotel. has be- come a popular place and despite the commodious quarters. it was feared that the office would be crowded out if the bar was not removed. This action was not taken except as a last recourse, but a number of patrons seemed so unreasonable about leav- ing the office at closing time. that it was considered advisab blc by the pos tai authorities and Postmaster Bar rett to remove the bar to another To- cation to relieve the temptation.
