The attention of the town council is
respectfully called TO the condition OF
the alley crossing between the residence
property Of A. G. Mathews and the
Methodist parsonage. The rest Of the
walk which the school children have &C
travel over is in fair shape with com
paratively little danger to the life auC
limbs Of the small ones, but the crOssn.
mentioned is dangerously unsafe auC
should have some attention from th'
council. Since we come TO think abOu
It, none Of the children Of members o.
the council have to travel over tina
part Of the walk-the mayor and hI
family excepted However, many othc
taxpayers do have to send their childrcl
over this dangerous place and it shout
be fixed up some way.
Miss Odic B1osser, daughter Of MI
aud Mrs Oliver BlOsser, of Sycamore
was struck and run over by a car driy
en- by ole Of the Hupp boys Surda
night while returning to her home froT
church services at Mt Zion. She wa
brought to this place Monday morning
and her injuries were attended 10 b.
Or. Stats. She was badly bruised AM
torn up when the car passed over he
body and it is a wonder that she wa
not fatally injured. This may not hav
been a case Of carless driving. But a
a general proposition, the Chronicl
says without fear Of successful contra
diction that a covey Of state poiiceme
should be imported to break up tn
practice Of careless and irresponsible
fiyer-boobs speeding on the new stai
road.
