Jim Davis, who drives one of Ed
mondson & Britt s delivery wagon was
severely injured Wednesday by the over
turning of the wagon while making his
rounds. Some portion of the harness
gave way while going down steep hill
in the East End and Mr. Davis was
thrown out when the wagon struck

over on him. He received a bad cut on
the head over the left eye, which re-
quired several stitches to sew it up. He
was able to be out Thurs day, though
pretty sore.
