The county is anxious to get its flag returned. If these people who took the decorations from the John Vaughn car at the Fair pavilion will look through their stored up dec orations, they may find the flag, and if they do, Wm. Ayers would be glad to have it returned to him at the court house. Tliey Are On Their Way.

JOHN GURRAN GUTS MANYFANGYFIGURES Series of Mishaps Mark Sheepman's First Days as a Motorist J. O. Doherty iiets Broken Leg. ' The first days ot John Curran, mo torist, have been filled with thrilling mishaps, not unattended with serious results. Mr. Currln was bringing the J. G.

Probably there are but few popple who have experienced the thrillers of early motordom that Mr. Curran has experienced. One of the good ones happened last week, when through a mistake, he put his foot on the ac celerator instead of the brake, and as a result tore up about a half a mile of fencing along the roadside.
