He says he can iust write the name and address of an offender and hang it on the barrel, and then rest until it brings in the fellow > "I wish he had to eat every bite of it raw" was a remark , heard just after a speeding auto ist had smashed a big fine Rhode Island Red rooster in front of Mr. O R R.vnns Viomo fRroo miles east of town one day last week. "They have killed my pigs and my cats and my chick ens, and I am tired of it," said Mr. Evans in discussing the matter. "And I think I shall see what the law can do with them, too." The road at that place has been good, and motorist have .disiei garded the rights of Mr. Evans and family. Speeding at that . point had been a very common thing. The house is near the , road on one side and the barn I on the other, thus making it very dangerous to go by like a , tornado. But unless Mr. Evans tries the , law on some of those who have already offended, there is little , probability that he will get to use much law on 'em. Just on . this side the house and just the , other side he has placed ridges of clay across the road eight or , ten feet apart and six or eight . inches high, sufficiently large to . make it very uncomfortable for the fellow who attemps to go by . like a cannon ball. Most of us have come to believe that the new railroad is soon to be a reality. Read the article under a Chester date line in this issue, and see what you think about it.
