Daniel HICKEY, whose father died a few days ago, informs us that the members of the family were never all at home at the same time. There were eleven sons and daughters and some of the older members of the family left home and were doing for themselves before one or two of the younger members were born. This is something that can not be said of very many families. Marshal BRENNAN has arrested three or four different parties during the past week for driving their autos faster than is allowed by the ordinance governing the speed limit. He wishes to warn other drivers and owners of machines that the ordinance will be strictly enforced and for them to be on their guard. There is entirely too much reckless driving. Drivers who booze should also be taught a lesson. They jeopardize their own lives and the lives of others. Sim ROBINSON of West Bend was greeting Emmetsburg friends Saturday.
