ner of Main and Huron streets, The
last to meet its doom was on Wed-

'`� it was run down in the rain by a iso-
torist and was severed from its ce

that directed the traffic to the right
has not been long-lived and few of

passing. How long the one at the
south end of the town will remain_ on
duty remains to be seen.

CAR BADLY SMASHED.
OCCUPANTS ESCAPE UNHURT.
A Gray Dort car belonging to Mr.
Thos. Newell and driven. by Mr. T.
Baker in which the two were return-
ing to town on the London Road
north, took to the ditch,on Saturday
and; was badly smashed when it
struck a telephone postand a tree.
Fortunately the occupants " escaped
practically unhurt. The driver of the
car turned out to pass a Ford truck
and as the truck turned out to give
then; the road the hind end swung
around. To avoid striking the truck I
Mr. Baker pulled out on the grass
and lost control of the car. The car
struck a telephone pole, breaking it
off at the bottom. The pole fell over
leaving the wires in the air'. The car
continued a short distance and the
other side of it struck a tree. The
fenders, running board and .a sec-
tion of the body were torn off and
the axle bent. The engine and works
were damaged very little and the
car was driven to the factory on
Tuesday for repairs. It was a mighty
lucky escape for the men. During the
.time the.car was on the road a party
stole both front and back cushions,
a spare tube and the tool kit. These

Mr, and Mrs, ChaELbrles Isaac, of Ste-
phen township, have the sympathy
of many friends in the loss of their
little son,-- Clarende Jack, aged 11
years and 3 months. The little lad
was; taken i11 on Monday night of
Iast week and. on Wednesday he was
taken to the hospital at London
where he was operated on for ap-
pendicitis. The operation revealed
that he was - also suffering from
other complications and that is was
impossible to save his life, and lie
passed away the same afternoon.
The remains were brought to itis'
home and the funeral' was heI:1 on
Friday afternoon. That the ccmzniin
ity was touched by the passing away
of this young life was evidenced by
the fact that there were over 40
autos in' the funeral procession; an
also by the profusion of flowers that
adorned the room and casket. His
Sunday school class of Centralia
Methodist church were. present in a
body. Interment took place at the
Exeter cemetery. Rev. A. Sinclair
conducted the service,

women who sang;
