Wo once heard a. man say, ".It v. very simple to drive a car when you know how!" Just so, but yesterday a couple of Chinamen found it otherwise. From what we can gather they came'to Grcytown in a car on business, and whilst here a fellow countryin:: i borrowed tiro car to go and get .sowrhubarb, etc All went well coming up the street, but when near the Courthouse the bland smile of the driver turned to one of dismay as he lanaed in the water-race. After getting the damage repaired at Stan Stevens,' he started off again, but was fascinated by another water-race and promptly lodged the car therein (just to cool the engine a little). The visitors rescued the car, and set off for Featherstor/, but n'ear the cemetery "Lizzie", simply turned turtle, and the result was a big\fall in rhubarb and radishes, also another job for one of the local garages.—Greytown Standard.
