But after talking the matter 1* over, Mrs. Ridout and I both believe -A it would not be wise to undertake that b. work during the hot weather. I felt S when I was with you that I should de- S cide to come, but the heat and the g trip together laid me out!" His final decision has been a great disappointment to members of St. Alban's congregation. o c] AUTOMOBILE TURNS TURTLE.

His signature is withheld for obvious reasons. His letter follows: Editor County Record, Dear Sir: assist me in some way for some one is tormenting me with their wireless telegraphy, causing pains, swelling and hurting, so much so till I cannot attend my farm work, as a wave or current of the electricity is coming into each one of my ears. Please tell me who it is for I am tormented. The Record realizes the serious perdicament this man is in and regrets profoundly its inability to render him the kind of assistance that he needs. The only kind of wireless electricity that we have to deal with is static, and this "torments" us frequently on publication days, until the patience of our pressman ceases to be a virture, ard we yearn for a remedy. If any of the Record's readers can help this poor fellow, or relieve him of the elements that are "tomenting" him, they will confer a favor by responding promptly. ,.W HWt I 1 H ; 11 111 1 1 I 1 I f* ; j NOTICE TO CITIZENS \\ ,, 11 Having completed installing ? * I the Fire Alarm System, same !! will be in service from this date ;; .. and will be operated from cen- ??
