A Complaint
Parking on the sidewalk in front
of the Southern States place of
business on Union street, in the
heart of town, should cease at
once. Such violation of town laws
is not only an inconvenience but
real menace to pedestrians. We
believe this is not Intentionally
done but is caused by thoughtless
auto drivers and employees. Many
violations are caused by loading
and unloading at the front door,
but trucks and cars should not be
allowed to Obstruct the sidewalk
while drivers are on other business
in other parts of town.
Flag Dedicated
At Grace Methodist Church on
Sunday morning a service flag to
our boys in the armed service was
dedicated in a simple and appropri-
ate manner. Rev. Elliot led the
dedication service before a large
audience. The flag was presented
by the Church School, and is
"One-star" emblem, with the nu-
merals 60 underneath the star
representing the approximate num-
Der of members and attendants of
the school. One gold star, for Lay
ton Short. son of Mrs. Flossie Nc
DOwell. who died in the service of
our country.
Apple Harvest Completed
The harvesting of the late apple
crop at the Chandler and Isaac or
chards has been completed. 1t was
the largest crops ever gathered and

The harvesting and packing distri-
buted thousands Of dollars among
