There has been reported many cases of apparent violations of the liquor laiws in this city and evidences of bootlegging are not wanting but the sentiment of the majority of people in this city and county are against the liquor business and it has been growing stronger every year. It would be a great misfortune if there should be instituted in our midst any organized effort to defeat the prohibitive desire of our people and it is hoped that stories that are being circulated are without foundation. Mrs. C. C. Warner entertained at a dinner party last evening for her cousin, Miss Martha Long and fiance, Russell Strawbridge, and the young ladies who are here to attend the Long-Strawbridge wedding tomorrow. Also several young men, including Frank Hardman, of Chicago, cousin of Miss Long. This evennig Mrs. J. F. Hardman is giving a picnic supper for Miss Long, Mr. Strawbridge, the bridal party and the family. An automobile accident occurred Monday afternoon near the H. R. Kurrie residence. George Long was driving his' father’s automobile and Mrs. J. F. Hardman and Mr. Russell Strawbridge, who is to be married tomorrow to Miss Martha Long, were also in the car. A telephone pole which was laying across the street was not noticed by George until to late to bring the car to a stop and the pole was struck with such force that Mar. Strawbridge was thrown from the car and-Mrs. Hardman was thrown from the seat and into the bed of the car. Mr. Strawbridge suffered no injuries but Mrs. Hardman was slightly bruised and suffered some from the shock.
