PLEASANT STREET STILL A
AUTO SPEEDWAY.

Despite repeated complaints made
to the police department and the
warnings issued through the press,
speed-burners continue to make
Pleasant street a speedway for their
automobiles, to the detriment OF Pc
destrians. and the danger OF in
jury to limbs and perhaps loss Ut
life. The speedsters fave no respect
whatever for the ordinances and less
for the safety of those who are COM
PEELED to use the street.
Sunday was anything but day Of
peace on this street, owing to the
large number of automobiles which
raced up and down, with cut-outs
open, recklessly plunging through
space, regardless of anything and
everything. Police occasionally stand
in front of the postoface in an effort
to apprehend the speedsters, but as
soon as these wise birds spy the uni
form they discreetly slow up (for a
short time.) Then after the officers
have gone they proceed to put
through the same old program.
It is a lasting shame and disgrace
to the city of Paris that these people
should be allowed to continue this
dangerous practice. 1t IS Impossible
for the patrolmen to be at any point
at the right time, consequently they
are unable to catch the Offenders.
Remonstrances have no effect, plead
ings are in vain, the danger of acct
dent is nothing to them, as long as
they are making their speed-burners
| go the Derby pace in the automobile
marathon. How long are the resi-
dents of the street, and pedestrians
who have to cross the street to be
compelled to hug the pavements in
order to avoid being killed or MAIN
ed by these reckless disregarders 81
| the law?
We know the above to be true
from personal knowledge. We know
the police are handicapped. and we
know that something must be done To
safeguard the lives and limbs OF CIT
izens. But how is it to be accom-
plished?

this service there were twenty addi-
tions to the church, and at the
morning service there were twenty
four. In the one week past there
has been a total of one hundred and
eight additions. One of the most
gratifying results of the meeting is
the large number of young men and
women who have come forward.
Rev. Kellems in his sermon Sun
day night stated that all he could
do was to preach the Gospel as he
found it in the Bible, and that his
hearers would have to do the rest.
Rev. Kellums confines his sermons to
Gospel topics. His audiences show
every evidence of appreciation. At
both services Sunday there were ca
pacity crowds.
The ordinance of baptism was ad-
ministered to nine Sunday evening.
The Sunbeam Choir is doing fine.
They will give one or two special
numbers during the week. The Male
Chorus. will give a special number
Wednesday evening and will lead
the singing.

singing in fine style, very much to
the enjoyment of everyone.
At the Sunday service the money
to defray the expenses of the meet
ing was raised in about fifteen min
utes.
Come early and get good seat.
