time and were running up the main street

congregated so fast and packed the
streets so that it was almost impossible

men and children, black and white, were
craning their necks to get a glimpse of
what they thought must be something
very much out of the ordinary. The
more venturesome lads climbed telephone
posts to look down in the center of that
vast mob of people, and one woman tug
ging away for dear life and hanging onto
her hat with one hand and dragging a lit
tle three-year-old kid, frightened to dem

of all the excitement was and. fin,i,' n „T e
way blocked by the dense mob ySfe
"For heaven's sake make way, men i ,,
give the poor creature some air!" dl '°
Suddenly, and without any warniti
the crowds began to fall back’ almost a
fast as they had gathered, and in a ) m .“
an instant the street was cleared ai , a st
and through the space left bv the disin
pearing crowd came a handsome Ford
Touring Car bearing a flaming banner
which read: "I won the first prize in Th

GRANTVILLE CIVIC LEAGUE.
The Civic League held its regular
meeting at the school building Friday
afternoon, March 26, at 2 p. m. Min
utes of last meeting were read by Mrs.
Brasch, the Secretary being absent.
Fifteen members were present, these
answering to roll-call with a quotation
from Nature.
Two important changes in the consti
tution were discussed and voted upon.
The president reported the proof of
Year Book as satisfactory, and assured
the league that the booklets would be
very attractive.

ported enthusiasm and interest on the
part of the new organization of Jun
iors. Mrs. W. G. Sadler is a splendid
leader, and will doubtless perfect a
very active body of civic workers.

lent paper on “Cleaner Premises.” It
was clear-cut and logical, and con
tained good ideas, which, if carried
out, would make Grantville a most at
tractive little city.
“Over in the Meadow,” a selection
from Wadsworth, was read by one of
the members.
The new ball ground at the rear of school
building was discussed, then inspected
by all members of the league. It i 8
quite an addition to the school grounds
and will give much pleasure to the pu!
pils.
Our Year Book will soon be in the
hands of each member of the league,
and, having our programmes outlined
ahead, we will each know our part,
and can make our meetings more
interesting. I trust we will not let our
interest and enthusiasm wane, hut
ever be on the alert, active and co
operative in everything that pertains
to the betterment of Grantville and
her people. Rosa Wyatt.
