WEBBERS REACH THEIR PENNSYLVANIA DESTINATION

The following article is taken from the Oxford, (Pa.) Press of August 19, and relates of the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. John Webber, l of this city, in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where they are now visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Corliss, former residents of thia city: “An auto with a battered Indiana license tag stopped in front of The Press office last Saturday. John Webber disembarked and walked to the rear and front of the auto and kicked the tires and said: That's the kind of wind we have in Indiana. Never been filled or a puncture since leaving.’ The Curb Man was on the spot and learned all about Rensselaer and where bound. Mr. and. Mrs. Webber had left on the tenth of July with full intention of camping by the wayside until Scrogy, Chester county, was reached, but rain had disillusioned their minds except one night in their native state. They were bound for a visit to their friends and former neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Corliss, Lower Oxford, near Scrogy. After a tonsorial inspection Mr. Webber took the wheel and was soon off. Before he opened out he said, ‘Say, do you want a little news? Well, when near Hancock, Md., a string of Fords overlanding to Baltimore passed and we noticed the leader in a sedan look down the mountain road to see if his companions were coming. In an instant he was over the edge and his machine rolled over three times, broke off trees and then stopped. His companions went down after him, expecting to find life extinct. The engine was still running and the driver crawled out with only a small scratch 'on one ear. The wind-shield wis not broken, only ! a hole punched in the top. The machine was towed up on the road and the driver took his seat and led them into Baltimore.’ ‘Goodbye/ we said, and the Webbers were on for their first Sunday in Chester county.” ■■ . <
