FROM DON CARLOS JAMES

l have just read of the death OF
Mr.. A. j. McNally, of GAINESVILLE,
which brings up memories of long
ago. First, he worked for my faith
er on the McComas place where
Will Davis has more recently lived
and | look back SO or 55 years and
see him carrying borrowed sad
die. There is also recollection Of
one of his songs, "As | came home
from the tum tither towrow,
which expression | have heard my
beloved mother speak. Possibly 80
or 35 years ago, called on Mr. Me-
Nally in the shoe department per-
haps at Sturtevant's.
In respect to Mr. Chas. Finley s
suggestion that historic spots be
marked: We certainly concur. 1t
would seem ingratitude to the pio-
neers, unconcern for the tourists
and the rising generation. and lack
Of enterprise on our own part not
to place suitable markers on his
toric spots.

OTHER ROAD HOG TYPES
(By John JaSter, jr. J

.
The motorist who insists upon oc-
cupying the middle of the road is
not the only type of road hog who
menaces traffic on the highways.
AS dangerous as any of the road
hog breed is the driver who steps
on the gas and honks his horn SO
everybody must scatter to get ous
of his way. There is no particular
reason for his haste but he likes to
see the other cars scramble SO he
can have the road to himself.
He is just as much, perhaps
more, of a road hog as the motorist
who usurps the middle of the road.
You at least know the one is in the
middle of the road. You never know
whether the other is going to pass
you at once, pull in behind you or
dodge in around you as he zips
along crafty.
slow-poke driver. just as much a
holding up traffic to such an ex.
tent that hazardous driving condi-
tions are created.
Another of the road hog genus
is the driver who surges out of a
side road halfway into the main
highway before stopping and wait
ing for traffic He is decided
menace to those having the right.
Of-way.
There is also the type of road hog
who operates chiefly at traffic light
intersections. While the cars ahead
are waiting for the green light he
swishes up from the rear and
blocks the thoroughfare for cars
turning at intersections. Then when
the green light shows he is off like
shot to head the procession, un-
doubtedly feeling that he has done
a very clever thing
All these types of road hogs
should know better than to take
chances but they don't. So when
drivers get to taking chances it is
best to move over and give them
