This 13 a pleasing sign of the times
and indicates that there are being

WARNED TO GET
NEW NUMBERS
;rifr Advises will Look Into II
ter of Drivirg Cars with Last
Years Number Plate.
Frcm Thursidar's Dativ.
The automobile owners and drivers
who are operating their cars under
tie IP -2 licenses and numbers had
better hasten to the court house
uul secure the required license anel
number this week as Sheriff C. D.
(Juir.to'.i is to start out the next
week to round ud the autos both
great and small, that have failed to
comply with the law requiring the
first of the year.
Many thoughtlessly keep running
their cars under the oid licenses
over the time set by law and conse
quently lay themselves liable to a
let of trouble while others do it "to
get by" as long as possib'e and this
practice the sheriff is going to put
the nni hir.g torches to and haul in
the gas wapens and their owners
who have not the required 1923 cre
dentials to operate the cars.
The authorities have had more or
less trouble each year with cars
from otfcT counties driving with the
old licenses in violation of the state
law and in order to see that these
ire properly handled the houseclean
ing must be started at home and all
parties with old licenses will be
given the once over.
If you have r.nt secured the new
license it would be a good plan to do
so at or.ee or keep the oid gas wagon
in the family garage.

p'tal an 1 returned bone yesterday
afternoon very much discouraged
over the condition of the patient.
Mrs. Andrew Kabb. Sr., mother of
ithe vountr man. states that Tom had
a very bad night Thursday and his
he-prt action seems to lie causing
more en less apprehension und is
i now the most critical condition or
the patient.
It has been owing to the heart
that the surgeons have been com
pelled to delay operating on tbe
young man in order to clear up his
wound received here some two
months afo when he was shot.
While the bullet was extracted
successfully at the hospital it was
thought that a portion of cloth from
tbe clothing of tbe young man bad
lodeed near the lung and it was to
remove this thrt the operation was
deemed necessary.
The members of the family and
the friends are hopeful that Tom
may show more favorable indications
within the next few days that will
permit his final eperation and his
recovery so that lie mas' return home.
