BREAKS OUT AGAIN
McCarthy's famous ‘Pot
Hole’ started on its yearly spre e
Monday by breaking out and
taking with it twelve bents of
the vecond trestle bridge and
some piiing; of the fi; st bridge.
Owing to its breaking out in
several places it did not give as
good a uisplay of water works
.is usual but did much more
damage. A piledriver crew was
at work immediately and soon
ii.su the wreckage repaired so
mat a tie up of only one train

Coruova mail. Toe regular sche t
ule was resumed today.
ARMISTICE DANCE
Rumour has it that the ex—
service men of the district will
put on a dance to celebrate
Armistice Day, November 1 1.
This is an excellent idea as
there are many veterans of the
Amei ican and Canadian forces
hereabouts and nothing could
be more litting to revive the
big day of seven years ago.
