Wheel Came off Engine
A person is just as well to not know
how nearly they are to meeting with a
fatal accident. As the London train pull-
ed into Clinton on Wednesday last a
wheel rolled off the engine into the ditch.
Had this happened when the train was
going at full speed, there would probably
have been a serious accident and a list of
fatalities to report.
Santa Clause has arrived
Many of our merchants are to be con-
gratulated, on the beautiful and attrac-
tive Xmas window dressing.
We feel we cannot refrain from making
special mention of Mr. A. M. Crawford's
show room as it is something out of the
ordinary and is attracting much attention
among the grown up as well as the chil-
dren.
In the windows are streamers from
which hang Xmas greetings. The inter-
ior is elaborately decorated in red and
green.
Evergreen trees covered with artificial
snow add greatly to the beauty. in one of
these trees is nestled a large owl. Santa ,
looks very happy and cozy wrapped in
his fur coat and cap and seated ire a
beautiful Sedan car. Just above the
head lights are two' reindeer heads to
these are attached reins of red and green
and are driven by that dear old friend of
every one.
Special mention might be made of
several other of our merchants' windows
but as we go to press, time and space
will not permit us to do so. 1
