Guard Rail Will
Be Built Soon On
Road Across Cypress
Secretary Wm. J. Lawson of the
Chamber of Commerce received a
communication Monday morning from
W. D. Dockery, Division Engineer for
the Highway Department, to the ef-
fect that recommendation has been
made to the State Highway Depart-
ment that guard rails be constructed
along both sides of Highway 65
through Cypress bottoms south of
town.
There have been a number of se-
rious and one fatal accident on that■
road this year, when cars vyere forced
off the dump, which is about fifteen
feet high. The erection of guard
rails, which will probably be of woven
steel, will prevent many of these ac-
cidents. |

all of the other innings both teams
showed fine form, and the fans saw
some real baseball.
Wright, pitching for Mt. Pleasant,
was invincible at all times, and was
in trouble only once, in the third in-
ning, but with the bases full and twFo
men out, he struck out Clinton, the
Mt. Vernon third baseman, retiring
the side. In the fourth, he struck out
three men. His total strikeouts for
the game was nine, and he allowed
only three hits, one of them being a
“scratch.” Mt. Pleasant made a to-
tal of twelve hits.
The box score for this game was
unavailable. The batteries were as
follows: Mt. Vernon—Temple, Aiken
and Mills. Mt. Pleasant—Wright and
Sellers.
