It is our desire in every way possible to forewarn our people and thus arouse in them a spirit of cooperation and a realization of the need of protection for all in this effort. We are preparing an Or dinance providing for a po lice fine of one dollar for first offenses and more for second offenses, and citation to court for offenders in such cases as may demand more stringent action. Some of the more flagrant offenses are speeding, cut- 1 iting corners,, parking out of | lines, double parking, fail ing to stop at intersections and parking on left side of street. These are just a few of the common violations which you are called on to avoid.” Board of Commissioners of Town of Maxton. Gotta Have Those Maxton Grits Rites Are Held For M. W. Cole M. W.
