A headon collision between two autos took place on the corner near Jacob Miller's place of business here last Fri­ day. The corner is an exceptionally dangerous one, especially at this time of the year when there are so umny machines passing thru this place. Both machines were going at a pretty fair rate of speed when they came together and the wonder is that both autos were not wrecked, but, as it happened, all came out of the accident without seri­ ous results altho the occnpants of the car were given a sound shaking up. It is an everyday occurrence that acci­ dents are narrowly averted at this turn in the highway and unless more care is exercised by drivers of automobiles a serious accident is bound to take place at this very point. Would it not be a Brood idea for the road commissioners to place appropriate signs at this corner, thus warning drivers of cars that the tnrn is a dangerous one? Something should b« done, and done at once, he- fore a sad catastrophe takes place. - OSTEND. C. E. Gay lord spent Saturday and Sunday In Williams Hay.
