and Emma Long, survive. Friends
here sincerely regret to learn that
Mrs. Emma Ford of Youngstown, is
very low with illness. We under
stand the Corner gas station and
residence is to be occupied at once
We have been advised as to the par
error, we will withhold the name
until the new resident arrives, un-
less you almost read the name in
these lines--Rip Van Wrinkle look
ed about him bewilderingly after
his 80 years sleep and stroked his
long, shaggy beard, meditating all
the while. "say,' said he, to a
what's them numbers got to do
on 80, that's no wagon, Rip;
that's a car" said the lounger.
Then figures are the number OF
persons that the car has killed or
wounded. Now you see, it says
W169K and that is read, '169
wounded and killed. Now where
you see pc that is read partly
crippled and where these letters
are found reversed, they mean they
business of them uniformed fell
lows on two wheels is to catch up
with the four wheel fellows and
change the numbers as fast as the
drivers record changes Rip gave
cne big yawn and said, 81 never
learned to add figures and / guess |
won't add any figures now; SO here
goes your old friend Rip V. Wrinkle
back to his leafy lair under Wild
at present indiSpoSed with respi
ratory ailment and sinus trouble.
