For some time we have been
expecting tin accident as a re
sult of chaffeurs 'speeding' their
machines over our fine roads and
on last Sunday afternoon our
fears were realized. As a machine
was spinning down the 'pike at a
two-forty gate, it ran down,
crushed and mangled almost be
yund recognition sa I to tell a
hay rooster. And the parting
with a 23 cent coin by the afore
said auroinobihst as damages im
mediately followed, as a toll for
his wreckless driving.
It is indeed gratifying to

success. The Secretary is receiv
ing tnauy encouraging letters,
with cash enclosed. L"t others
who intend to contribute do so
at once, as the time is uot far dis
tant when all of the finances
should be in the hands of the
Treasurer. Let the members of
the Executive Committee in the
various townships of county get
busy and stay busy until the sue
cess of the fair is acertainty. On
ly about six weeks now remain
in which to work und there it a
great deal of it to he done.
