Big Auto and Ford Crash On Campground Road. Another fatal auto accident was | narrowly averted last Sutidav when the big Studebaker of Mr. ! Ed Goodwin, of McDonough, and ■ the Ford of a Mr. James, of Con yers, collided on the south em bankment of Walnut creek bridge, on camp ground road. In the Studebaker were Mr. Goodwin, wife and four children. Mrs. Goodwin’s brother, wife and two children, Bud Sowell driving. In the Ford were Mr. James and sister, and Mr. Scarbrough and sister. Both cars were considerably smashed, Miss James sustaining a broken leg, with painful bruises about the face and shoulders. Mr. James was badly hurt hurt about the back, with fears of internal injury, *he other two occupants receiving only a shaking up and a few bruises. The injured parties were taken immediately to the campground and attended by Drs. Tye and Fryer. No one was hurt in Mr. Good win’s car, beyond the jostle and a few bruises, though his little son was thrown through the wind shield, miraculously escaping with several scratches. It is difficult to account for the accident, which is exceedingly re gretted by all parties, as it was the-only incident to mar the oth erwise pleasant day of the large crowds at camp meeting. Bright Outlook For Heury County Fair. Judging from reports coming in from all parts of the county, the coming County Fair will be a much greater success than we dared to expect. Nearly everyone is plan ning exhibits and the premium list is growing by leaps and bounds. The amusements will be thoroughly clean as well as in teresting. There will be no charge to ex hibitors. Their only expense will be the transportation of exhibits to and from the F'air. The Secretary has received auto banners, pole banners and caps for advertising purposes. These are being distributed over the county, and are creating much in terest. Anyone wishing to offer premi ums of cash or otherwise should notify Mr. B. L. Hancock or A. L. Fouehc. Prizes will be placed for inspection with name of per son donating. Exhibits will bear name of exhibitor. BEAFAIRBOOS PER. Camp meeting has be< n much enjoyed the past week. With the tents well filled the reg ular attendance has been good and the services pleasant and beneficial throughout, excellent sermons delivered by the able ministers present resulting ii. much spiritual uplift. The Sup day crowd was immense, auto travel making it especially attrac tive for people to gather from ai. quarters. With Thursday’s ser vices the meeting closes. Red.
