Two Automobile Accidents-COn-
siderable Changing in Real Es-
tate Ownership

tate ON0cES1llp
Two automobile accidents occur
red here last week, one happened on
Saturday and one on Sunday. Botn
occurred near the corner by q. >.
Dole's. On Saturday an auto ana
a motorcycle were making pretty
good time for the corner at the
same time and as result the mo-
torcycle went in under the autOmO-
bile. 1t was only a miracle that
neither party was injured. On Sun
day one car was coming up Halls
hill and another from North Dan
vile, going towards Peacham ana
they collided. Both cars were dam
aged, but fortunately no one was
hurt 1t almost seems that the
speed limit law for villages and the
blowing of whistles does not amount
to very much or especially here in
town this summer.
